Kabuki Brushes - Mineral Foundations

lisajane8482

Hi All,

I am hoping someone may be able to help.

I am getting married next July and have been considering doing my own make up.

I'm going to order some mineral foundation samples to try from Lily Lolo as I don't usually wear foundation and was going to buy the kabuki brush but at £15 am a little reluctant since I don't definately know if I will be okay to use it (I have rubish skin that sometimes breaks out easy).

Does anyone know where I could get a cheap one or if there is something else I could apply the foundation with just as a trial?

Thanks in advance

Eyes Lips Face website has the cheapest Kabuki burshes i have seen so far, but you do have to pay for postage which would make it only a little under £15!
Have you had a look in superdrug or boots as that's the only place i would think a cheaper brush may be?
I have really oily, spot prone skin (thanks dad!) and i know if i apply my foundation with either a proper foundation brush or with a sponge (i do have to either clean the brush or use a diff sponge the next time) i dont get as oily or break out as bad.

Sorry i can't be loads of help x

Hi, don't know if you get a free brush with one of these samples:

I recently got a free 7 day sample from bare minerals with a magazine voucher and it came with a mini kabuki brush. Hope this helps!

The ELF kabuki brush when it in in stock is only 3.50 and P&P is less then 3 quid

Its ok - not the best out there but it does the job

Hi, it was the March edition of Top Sante but I'm not sure if it's still valid. I had a free 'make under' in store and the lady matched the foundation to the one she used there. As far as I can tell if you print the voucher from the website it should give you the same thing!

How about this one?

I've used this and both the mineral foundation and brush are really nice. There are several different shades in the range, so you should be able to find one to suit you.

I was actually going to come on and recommend the Lily Lolo after reading the title. It is so soft and really worked the minerals on rather than take 3 layers of skin off like some other more stiff kabuki brushes. I truly love it, well worth the money.
