I don't know how they did it but this brush is worth every cent.
It works perfectly with the Bare Minerals system but is also an
excellent applicator for bronzer so it's doesn't become overdone. It is short and squat (kinda like a man's shaving brush) so I can even get MY HUSBAND!! to use a little bronzer so he's not so office pale white. The bristles do not fall out and I just wash mine with a little baby shampoo and let it air dry.

After watching the DVD in the start-up kit, I was expecting a very soft, high-quality brush. Unfortunately, the very first time I used the brush, numerous hairs were falling out of the brush with each time I moved it across my face. By the time I finished buffing, my shirt and my sink were full of approximately 50+ hairs from the brush. Furthermore, the bristles were not as soft as I had hoped, especially considering the price. After a week of irritation, I went back to using Bobbi Brown brushes. Me = :(

Although you would expect this brush to be of exceptional quality (given the price, brand, and marketing), it is actually of below average quality. During one use the brush shed over five hairs, at which point I knew I would be returning it. Also, I went to Target and found a similar brush for $3.99 that was just as soft and shed much less. I recommend that you consider alternatives before investing in this overpriced and average brush.

The Bare Escentuals Kabuki brush is rough and scratches your face. MAC's 182, though pricey, is really soft and wonderful. This one sheds like crazy and was an utter disappointment.

The brushes for Bare Escentuals products are outstanding. They are feather soft, and help you apply your Bare Minerals foundation and Mineral Veil flawlessly using very little product. I have had my brush for at least 3 years now, and I wash it with just a drop of regular shampoo in my sink about once every month or so...air dry and it's good as new. It is NOT bristly at all, is soft as feathers....very easy to use, and very very effective. It is a MUST HAVE for Bare Minerals users! Well worth the $ to have a good brush, as it will save you money in the end (uses less product).

I wish I could give this brush a good rating, but unfortunately I can't. I have been using Bare Escentuals makeup for about 6 years now and have never had much luck with their brushes. This one is the worst. I've had it less than a year and it is already unusable. The quality is just really poor. The bristles break and fall out and are left all over your face. Using mineral make-up puts a lot of wear and tear on a brush, but it should hold up better than this one. I'm going out today to buy a Bobbi Brown brush...I have one of her blush brushes I bought at least 5 years ago and it is still in excellent condition.

I was a little dissappointed in this brush, especially for how much it cost. I use it with the mineral veil and it works ok, but I don't notice a big difference from when I was using my cheap makeup brush that I got at Wal-Mart. It's also a little to short for me and not as easy to work with as one with a longer handle. I wouldn't buy it again.

The Kabuki Brush is the perfect brush for applying the Mineral Veil. It's a soft brush and the powder just glides on and gives the perfect amount of coverage. I love it!!!

if you are going to use this line of makeup--buy their brushes--they are made well and apply perfectly....

This brush not only works wonders but it is so cute! The bristles to occasionally fall out, but it's not a problem because it only happens every so often. I definitely think it is worth the buy.
