The Arkansas backwoods are a wreck. Between last September's Hurricane Ike and this winter's historic ice storm, huge areas of the forest are a tangle of broken trees and nearly impenetrable brush.

For both regular women going out for the night, and makeup artists working on a celebrity's makeup, the Kabuki Brush is a popular brush choice for applying mineral makeup - and its composition goes hand-in-hand with mineral makeup for the protection and nurturing of beautiful, healthy skin.

These brushes are short brushes with rounded tips, and they are typically made of the softest fibers. Kabuki brushes originated in Japan with the beauty rituals of early Kabuki and Geisha theaters, and they were originally intended to help contour and define the cheekbone.

Though they may come in different sizes, the most ideal ones fit comfortably in your hand and can be used for the application - not only of your mineral foundation, but also any blush, setting powder, or any other face colors you may prefer.

Why This Brush?

The Kabuki brush is the must-have, all-purpose brush without which no makeup accessory kit is complete. A quality kabuki brings makeup application to a completely different level. Often made with a luxurious, full head of incredibly soft goat hair (other types of animal hair are also available), they apply your makeup smoothly, contouring in such a way that the skin will look noticeably different when makeup is applied with a Kabuki brush than any other type of brush. These brushes may be used not only on the face, but also for makeup application anywhere on the body.

Many Kabuki brushes are even made especially for mineral makeup application. The wide dome allows for a fabulously smooth sweep of makeup or powder. They consistently distribute the right amount of pigment for beautiful recession contouring. It softly sculpts the face for great effect.

Great for use with bronzers

Anyone looking to maintain that healthy summer glow during the autumn and winter months should give a try to a Kabuki for bronzer application. Bronzers are much more natural especially when a Kabuki brush is used.

When shopping for this brush for bronzer application, make sure to choose one that works well for both the body and the face. Some smaller brushes may not work as well for bronzer dustings on the cleavage and shoulders, for instance.

What to look for in a Kabuki brush:

Like the one described above, the best Kabukis are made with a very soft animal hair. If you're looking for a more affordable Kabuki brush, it is less likely that the brush will be made with animal hair, but you should try to avoid those made with any synthetic materials.

More affordable brushes may also come in a retractable version, though the higher-end brushes do not. If you're not interested in an animal hair brush, high-end brushes not made with animal hair are also available, without any of the hygiene or animal rights issues that may be associated with brushes made from animal hair.

Caring for your Kabuki

It is important to care and clean your Kabuki brush regularly; this not only preserves the authenticity of your makeup color, but also prevents your skin from exposure to germs and bacteria that can build on the brush over time.

Cleaning your brush is similar to other makeup brushes. You should clean the bristles with gentle soap and water, and then make sure you rinse the brush very thoroughly. Stick your wet Kabuki upright into a cup, and allow it to air dry completely. Caring for your makeup brushes ensures great makeup application - as well as excellent longevity.
