Review: EcoTools' Kabuki Brush

I don't wear make up.  I used to wear make-up.  From the ages of 13 to 18, I wore make up.  Well... What I wore was mascara, a little eye shadow, and even less eye liner.  That was the extent of my make up.  However, when I left high school and moved across the state to attend University - I stopped wearing make up.  It wasn't that I didn't need it.  It was more that I was incredibly lazy.

This practice of going make up free continued through to today (unless you count Burt's Bees Lip Balm).  What started off as lazy, quickly became a skin care choice.  Unlike many women of my age who do wear make up, I don't have those fine lines that start to surface at my age.  I rarely get pimples, zits, or spots.  I have, what many have described as, a "peaches and cream" complexion.  However, I'm not quite sure what that means.  I just know I have good skin, but I cannot take credit for it.  I credit the genetics I received from Mum... good skin runs in the family.

That said, I have a few major projects happening in 2015 that have already started, and a few of those projects require me to wear make up.  They require a lot of make up.  Without the make up, I look incredibly pale and sickly.  But more about those projects in 2015.

So, I've taken a crash course in learning about make up.  I've tackled the topic like the academic I am, and I've become a little more comfortable with something that used to take me less than 5 minutes to do.  And one of the major lessons learned is the importance of using the right brushes during the application phase.  The Kabuki brush by EcoTools is a dream.

The bristles are soft and do not shed like many brushes.  This Kabuki holds powder well and spreads liquid consistently.  It is one of those great all-around brushes you need in your toolbox, and it is offered at a very affordable price.  I paid $7.95 for it.

EcoTools did not sponsor this review, nor did they provide me with the Kabuki brush to review.  I went to the store and purchased it - just like anyone else.  However, I was so pleased with my experience with this brush, I wanted to share it with all of you, and will most likely expand my EcoTools' brush collection based on this Kabuki.

What about you? What tools do you find especially helpful when applying make up? Do share, and I'll check them out.  I need all the tips I can get!
