Kabuki Brush & Beauty Blender - Time-Saving Makeup Hacks

Who’s got time to juggle makeup brushes first thing in the morning when you’re already late for work? Not us and hopefully not you as well. The beauty industry has considered our problems and given us two multi-tasking tools: the kabuki makeup brush and the beauty blender. These versatile tools will replace that pouch full of makeup brushes you keep with yourself—minus the clutter of a crowded makeup bag. 

At Velvet Vista Collections, we’ve developed tips and tricks for you so you wouldn’t need to find out the hard way. Let’s dive in!

Kabuki Brush and Beauty Blender- the Power Duo

When it comes to convenience, only a few tools can compete with the beauty blender, we all know that don’t we? But if you combine it with a kabuki brush, that’s a whole new level of convenience. The Kabuki brush is known for its densely packed bristles and ability to apply both powders and liquids seamlessly. Meanwhile, the beauty blender has revolutionized makeup applications with its ability to provide an airbrushed finish.

Both of these tools are designed to work on various products with various techniques. That is why we call them the ‘power duo’ So why bother with a separate brush for every product when you can do it all with just two tools?

Why You Don’t Need Tons of Brushes!

Gone are the days when you needed a different brush for every step of your makeup routine. With a Kabuki brush and a beauty blender, you can apply foundation, contour, blush, and even setting powder—without ever reaching for a new tool. Here’s why they work:

• Kabuki Brush: The Kabuki brush’s wide, flat surface is ideal for applying and blending powders, from foundation to bronzer. Its dense bristles pick up just the right amount of product and distribute it evenly on your skin without leaving streaks behind!
• Beauty Blender: This sponge is a magic tool for liquid and cream products. Use it damp to effortlessly blend foundation, concealer, and even cream blush. The rounded edges help to smooth everything out, while the pointed tip makes it easy to reach tricky areas like under the eyes and around the nose.

Expert Tips for Using a Kabuki Brush:

Buff, Don’t Swipe

When using your Kabuki brush, always buff the product onto your skin in circular motions. Swiping leads to streaky application, but buffing will ensure a smooth finish.

Remember, Less is More

Don’t just keep adding more product. Use a small amount and build coverage slowly as needed. The dense bristles of the Kabuki brush are designed to distribute product evenly, so a little goes a long way.

Perfect for Setting Powder

The kabuki brush is the best tool to apply your setting powder due to its wide and flat surface area. After applying your foundation and concealer with a beauty blender, use your Kabuki brush! 

Time-Saving Hacks with a Beauty Blender:

Dampen before Blending

Always use your beauty blender damp with liquid products. This helps the sponge blend your makeup with less effort and a better outcome.

One Tool for Everything

Don’t just use your beauty blender for foundation. It’s also perfect for blending out concealer, contour, and cream blush. Blenders also come in different shapes and sizes! a diamond blender can help you get that snatched look while contouring and a flat-edged sponge can help you reach tricky spots needed to conceal! 

Quick Clean Between Products

If you need to switch between products, a quick clean with a makeup wipe or rinse under water will allow you to continue using the same beauty blender without color transfer.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

The beauty industry keeps making new brushes for every possible application and we just don’t feel at ease if we don’t have the ones other people do. But when it comes down to it, all you really need are these two versatile tools that do not break your bank or your makeup look. They save time and effort and you most probably won’t miss that meeting in your office.

By incorporating these tips into your daily routine, you'll find yourself reaching for fewer tools while still looking fabulous.
