Bare Escentuals Full Coverage Kabuki Brush Review

When it comes to my overall makeup look, I want my colors (eyes, lips, cheeks) to pop when I'm going out, but I want my skin to look like I magically wake up with even tone, no blemishes, no red spots, etc.  I do not want to look like I've covered my skin up as completely as possible, with spackle.

Now I understand that some people like that look - they want absolutely NO natural skin tone to show through.  That's probably what the Full Coverage Kabuki is designed for, and in that, it succeeds.  I just think that it leaves your skin looking rather... chalky.

I much prefer the Flawless Face Brush, which allows you to build your color as you choose.  If you want a very heavy application, you just need to go over areas more thoroughly.  This is useful because of course, like all ladies, I have areas of my face which I'd like to cover more than others.

Also notable: I have some psoriasis on my face.  It doesn't cause discoloration for me, I am very lucky, but it does cause flaking.  The thickness of application that the Kabuki leaves on my face makes my flakes incredibly obvious.  I do not experience this issue nearly as much with my Flawless Face Brush.

So I personally do not recommend the Full Coverage Kabuki, as it just doesn't work for me.  If you want a super heavy application of your minerals, I think you definitely should use the Full Coverage Kabuki.
