Too Faced Retractable Bronze-Buki Brush

What it is:A brush that applies bronzer with an airbrushed effect. What it does:Inspired by the success of their world-famous Kabuki brush, Too Faced engineered this brush specifically to apply bronzers with airbrushed, layered look. The longer crimped bristles pick up the ideal amount of bronzer while the shorter bristles buff in color for an even glow. Its dense brush base allows you to blend expertly for a natural finish. The customized cut of brush hairs provides control that allows you to apply sheer layers and build your desired depth without looking uneven or heavy. What else you need to know:Perfect to take anywhere, this brush's retractable cover protects purses and bags from a makeup mess. Too Faced's one-of-a-kind "Teddy Bear Hair" is an exclusive, super-soft fiber that grabs and blends pigments for a professional-looking application. The synthetic hair bristles are long-lasting, easy to clean, and minimize the spread of bacteria.

More like a stippling brush
-12.27.12
I got this brush a few weeks ago, as I was walking through sephora looking for a new bronzer brush. I was in a hurry and I saw this brush, saw that it was portable and a bronzer brush, so I purchased it then left. I love how compact it is. I travel a lot, and this has a nice durable case. However, when I used this with the NARS Laguna bronzer, it barely picked up any product and just grated my pressed powder. I was super disappointed. A few days later I tried using this to blend a liquid foundation, and it worked perfectly. It was very inappropriately named. If you are looking for a brush for powder, try their retractable kabuki brush instead of this "bronze"-buki.

PERFECT FOR BRONZER, VERY SUBTLE
-02.21.12
Quick Take: soft bristles, subtle
This is the perfect brush for bronzer. It has very soft, non-shedding hairs which do not irritate my skin like a lot of other brushes. The hairs are different lengths so it applies the bronzer evenly along the contours of your cheeks, chin, forehead. It doesn't pick up a ton of color so you can layer easily and go darker or just do a dusting to look sun-kissed. I've had it for about a month and it seems to stay very clean/ doesn't have a lot of build up.

Asthetically Pleasing, but Returned it
-12.06.11
Quick Take: soft bristles
It is so cute! I thought it would be a great idea to have a brush with a lid, to avoid dust/germs.
Turns out the brush is too soft and is more like a stipple brush. I used it on my cheeks and it gave a harsh/dramatic look.

i can't believe how much you can do with this brush. You can literally use it to blend your face make-up then your compact powder and then apply the bronzer and blush without cleaning it off. Unbelievable!!

Quick Take: synthetic hair, soft bristles
I love retractable brushes. A lot. And this one is great. IToo Faced brushes are always great. The two different textures and thcknesses are what throw me off a little, but I think that's what makes it work so well. It's the difference between this and BE's flawless radiance brush, which I hate and gave only 1 star.The thicker bristles gather more product so the thinner brown bristles at the tip can spread of the perfect amount of bronzer.

THE BEST FOUNDATION BRUSH TOO? YES!
-08.03.11
Quick Take: synthetic hair, soft bristles, liquid/cream multi-use, dual-use for foundation/blushe, also stippling/buffing brush for liquids/creams
IN FACT, CAN BE USED AS A STIPPLING/BUFFING FOUNDATION BRUSH FOR POWDER/LIQUID FOUNDATION/BLUSH. ESPECIALLY EXCELLENT FOR ANY POWDER MAKEUP. PRACTICAL AND BEAUTIFUL PACKAGING. EXCELLENT QUALITY. ONLY BRUSH I'VE EVER USED THAT IS AS SOFT AS YOU KNOW WHAT AND ACTUALLY DOES NOT SHED EVER !!!

-07.26.11
Quick Take: synthetic hair
I wasn't sure if I'd like this brush or not. It IS teddy bear hair and is soft but it's different than the other brushes by TF. This brush doesn't feel as soft because it isn't as dense as the others. However, that's that whole point of this bronzer brush. I like the look that I can achieve with this brush. I have a heavy hand with bronzer and I found with a loose powder bronzer I would pick up WAY too much product with the powder pouf brush by TF. This brush picks up a tiny bit of bronzer so that I don't look ridiculous. If you tend to overuse your bronzer then buy this. If not, it might not be a brush you want to invest in. The only bad thing about it is I feel like I have to build product slowly and that takes more time AND more product. Yet, I'd rather take my time and not look horrible. Educate yourself about this brush and decide if it's worth your money or not.

Quick Take: synthetic hair, soft bristles
I bought this on accident thinking that it was the kabuki brush, but after I found out, I decided to keep it. The design is really cute and I love how portable it is, but the brush itself wasn't really good. It didn't pick up or blend my bronzer well.

Quick Take: soft bristles
This is a great brush! It was my first buki brush and I'm very impressed. Since I was needing a new brush anyway, I decided to go ahead and try it to use with the Bronzed and the Beautiful package I got the same day. Works great and the bristles are super soft! I haven't had any problems so far with shedding either. Plus, as with the other Too Faced products I've bought, the packaging is super cute! Great all around! Definitely recommend it!

My new favorite brush
-05.27.11
Quick Take: synthetic hair, soft bristles
Picked it up on a whim on my last run through Sephora. I'd been using one of their other 'bukis for a long time and was happy with it, but this one just struck me as being worth snapping up. And it is a wonderful brush. I wonder if some of the previous posters got bad batches as mine is soft and hasn't shed a bit. I use it primarily for applying Bare Minerals powder and it is fantastic for that purpose. Portable, cute, soft. It's a must have for me.

The best Buki-brush I've tried!
-05.20.11
Quick Take: retractable, fun packaging
I was looking for the perfect brush to apply bronzer. Previous ones have been either too stiff and/or didn't hold the product well. The brush by "Two Faced" is the ideal stiffness and retracts perfectly into its compartment. My favorite Kabuki out there....and I've tried many.
