Is bronzing brush = buffer brush = powder brush?

So i can't really spot the difference between the three.. i've seen lots of kabukis... and not sure what they are for... i mean... some of them are called bronzing brush.. same are called face brush....





are they basically the same?? i need one for both powder application and to buff out any excess for a perfect finishing look... can i use bronzing brush?? and is it better to use the one that comes in smaller or bigger size??





thanks..Is bronzing brush = buffer brush = powder brush?
Buffer/kabuki brush- dome shape fluffy brush with short handle, probably best for powder foundation especially mineral powder because its easier to pickup.

Powder brush- big brush with long handle for the application of loose or pressed powder. Because of the way its shaped: dome + paddle, it can pick up more powder compared to the buffer brush. Its longer handle also allow easier application.

Blush brush- Can also be use as a bronzer brush. Its smaller then a powder brush for precise application of blush to the cheeks otherwise you will get too much color on your face or cheeks. You can use this as a powder brush also.

Technically, they are all a little bit different.


A REAL kabuki brush is a little short brush (because it doesn't have a long handle) and its bristles are rounded. So if you were to see the brush sideways, it look a little bit like a U.


A bronzer brush usually is a normal brush with a slanted edge. Like: /


A buffer brush. i have no idea what that is.


And a powder brush is flat and usually has a longer handle.


You can use a kabuki brush or powder brush for everything, but for all those people who are obsessed with make-up, you can buy all the different brushes.


So. I hope that helps :)





p.s. yes. you can use a bronzer brush, it just doesn't spread color as evenly because it's usually slanted
dude they are all the exact same brush in different sizes and prices to trick us into buying more :( i figured tht out when i went to the makeup counter and asked what the difference was and the lady didnt know the answer :(
