Get That Professional Finish to Your Makeup Application

Beauty Junkees Flat Angled Kabuki Makeup Brush

Experts will all tell you that a flat angled Kabuki brush is “an essential makeup brush because it helps with contouring, with bronzing, and even with blushing! It’s a multi-purpose makeup brush that you can’t do without on each of your makeup sessions.” Noted for making the skin appear almost “poreless”, it can be used to achieve a long list of unique effects.

It is the perfect tool for anyone eager to get a professional finish to their makeup applications, and it has roots dating back hundreds of years. This can be seen in the name of the flat angled Kabuki brush. It takes that name from the Japanese theater tradition in which actors apply heavy and dramatic makeup that has to be quite flawless and bold.

It creates an airbrushed appearance that often looks more like a mask than makeup, and it is this airbrush look that makes so many people eager for the same results. After all, we all know that blush or highlighting can be a huge success if it is blended evenly and without any distinguishing or tell-tale lines. Fail in this, and your makeup may be a total failure.

Thus, Kabuki brushes were discovered to be handy tools in everyday makeup applications, too. Designed to give total control in any application of detailing, highlighting and blending, they allow you to achieve amazing results in more complicated areas such as along the cheekbones and brows, around the eyes and surrounding the nose.

Many say that the brush is the ideal substitute for the finger, and most experts say it is far superior to using the pad of the finger to blend. This is because its dusting actions ensure that lines are filled, and the surface of the skin is evenly coated with the liquid or powder product of your choice.

Why Choose the Beauty Junkees Flat Angled Kabuki Makeup Brush?

Of course, any brush is only as good as its bristles, and the Beauty Junkees Flat Angled Kabuki Makeup Brush is a remarkable find. With a price that is half that of the high-end brands, it actually features higher quality materials and design. It all begins with the bristles. This brush features synthetic bristles that make it a vegan friendly option. Yet, the bristles are far more preferable to the animal hair alternatives.

Why? Animal hair is made of layers of cuticles that can catch and hold products – both liquid and powder. This means you cannot get a predictable application and may waste a lot of product when it drops from the brush or falls away during application. The natural oils in animal hairs also cause problems and can transfer to the products. Additionally, hair brushes tend to shed a great deal, do not stand up to repeated washings, and typically fail far earlier than synthetics.

As if their sanitary and durable properties were not enough, the design of the brush is a real winner. A wooden handle is ergonomically designed to fit balanced in the hand. This gives you total control of the brush, but the copper ferrule (the wide band of metal that holds the bristles) is also important.

Made of long lasting materials, it is double crimped to keep the bristles snugly in place. The density of the bristles is what allows them to work so well with liquid and dry makeup applications. However, the density also prevents the brush from splaying outward if put under pressure or from losing its shape, and it remains super soft at all times.

Buying Your Beauty Junkees Flat Angled Kabuki Makeup Brush

As you can see, the very reasons for buying the Beauty Junkees Flat Angled Kabuki Makeup Brush actually outline just what you should look for in any Kabuki brush before purchasing it. For example, you will want to find something with synthetic bristles that are dense, stay in place and part of a well-balanced and nicely sized brush. You need the brush head to retain that flat and angled shape, and you need a good price point.

These are all features of the Beauty Junkees Flat Angled Kabuki Makeup Brush. However, don’t overlook the benefits of choosing a brush that is part of a broader array of Kabuki brushes. Having multiple styles (Kabuki brushes also have domed or angled, tapered and rounded heads, among others) gives you lots of options.

Access to an array of quality brushes puts affordably priced tools  and accessories in your hands and lets you enjoy the best results from any makeup application. Of course, there is also an esthetic issue, which may or may not be of interest to you, which is that you can also enjoy the beauty of a complete set of brushes on display in your vanity or bedroom!

How to Use Beauty Junkees Flat Angled Kabuki Makeup Brush

Though the Flat Angled Kabuki Makeup Brush is used for contouring, highlighting, blending and other issues, the way you use it does not vary widely. Essentially, you will always want to load the brush head by dipping it into the product. Tap it lightly to remove excess and then apply wherever needed. You want to use a stippling or dabbing movement to apply, and once the brush is relatively empty, you can then use gentle sweeping movements to fill in lines, blend evenly or achieve whatever look you desire. If blending broader areas, such as beneath the cheekbone, using circular movements creates the best finish.

How to Care For This Brush

Naturally, cleaning the brushes is also a main part of using them, and this is easily managed. You simply wet the bristles in warm water, massage a bit of brush cleanser into the bristles and rinse clean. Dry with a towel and ensure the angled head has been restored to its original shape. Allow it to dry and use it only once you are sure the bristles have fully dried.
