I've been applying it with a Hakuhodo duo fiber brush that I just got and it seems to work very well. Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a brush junkie so who knows? Perhaps the next time I'm at the TF counter I'll decide I just can't live without Tom's brush :-)<br /><br />Eileennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-66511072951610749372012-01-06T15:57:18.881-05:002012-01-06T15:57:18.881-05:00Hi Charlestongirl!

It's a bit pricy, but it is one TF product that is well worth it. There is a generous amount of product and, unless you're into creating racing stripes all over your face, it will last a long time.

The kabuki brush is wonderful - so useful for buffing in anything, foundation, blush (cream or powder), bronzer. <br /><br />Rumor is a total chameleon. Everyone can wear it. Only a few weeks ago, I pointed it out to a friend who works at NM. She said, "That's too dark." I responded with, "Just try it." She put it on and looked fabulous.
