Gosh been looking all over the Internet to understand more about flat and dome....the secret been revealed. Genius! Thank you
I know your video is 10 yrs old but I am soooo glad I came across this video I believe 1 year ago. And I still every now and then come back to check myself and make sure which buffing type brush gives a certain coverages I’m needing at that time. I have a very slightly/mild condition “the name is to long” that interrupts my memory and I’m at times highly forgetful but I always Remember this video is my FAVORITE!!! Your thankfully very explanatory and get straight to the point with a demonstration all in a nice time consuming video... PLEASE NEVER TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN LOL much much much love I and I’m sure many of us truly enjoy it’s 🤘🏼😘
I was searching a video like yours for hours and hours! THANKS
very good question! these days everyone refers to most buffer brushes as kabukis. But for the most part, a Kabuki brush does not have ferules (metal part). Its mainly constructed with just the handle, and bristles.
Koren, your channel is absolutely amazing. If I have a question, you either answer it in a few days, OR you've already answered it. Thank you so much so much for being on youtube! :)
Thanks for the tip, I`ll check it out for sure.
Keep going strong! Your videos are the best. Yesterday I made my own brush cleaner from your tutorial and I am so happy that you are sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. Have a great weekend!
Oh wow, I've never actually seen a flat top kabuki brush before,I definitely have to hunt for one now. I needed more coverage and this will save me time lol. You're videos are awesome! Thank you so much for uploading!
hey sugar - Glycerin sets to a Hi-Shine gloss finish. Unless you want that, then glycerine spray can work. You will not get a matte finish to your foundation if you use it.
Great tutorial, Koren. I have a domed kabuki, but was wondering about the flat top, and now I know the difference. You're the best! :-)
You did a great job explaining the two different brushes! Thanks
hey klai - the density of the bristles is mainly the key, the denser it is, the more coverage you get. For the blush brushes you listed, 116 will give you more flexibility in application from light, buildable to more coverage.
Thanks so much! This has helped me decide that YES I need a flat top brush for when I really want to get all made up dramatically!
Nice video! I've used mineral foundation for 5 years now, and i love it!
I love all your tutorial videos, they are so helpful! Really want to say "THANK YOU SO MUCH" for all the makeup tips, tricks, and secrets.
HEY KOREN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE LEARNED SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FROM YOU. EVERY VIDEO YOU MAKE IS CALLED Knowledge Knowledge
Knowledge.. THANKS LOLO
you are the best makeup instructor on TH-cam. Thank you for such helpful videos:)
This tutorial was extremely helpful. I just placed my first order for mineral foundation and I have both those Mac brushes and now I'll know how to use this product with fix+.....thanks Koren!
hey reez, I love using the 109 on creme foundations, and of course, the 187 stippler on liquid foundation. There are a number of mineral makeup brands out there, for the most part - mineral makeup is made of natural ingredients mined from the earth. So regardless of the brand name they all will contain the same natural ingredients like mica, titanium dioxide, kaolin clay, etc.
hey pauli - concealer is what you use to cover imperfections like acne/pimples, birthmark, scars, etc. The foundation is what you apply all over your face after you conceal/cover to even out your skin tone. Then the powder is what sets the products specially cream and liquid makeup so that it sticks to your skin better. And thats the order you apply - concealer first, then foundation, then powder to set.
Loved this video! I didn't know that you could apply mineral foundation wet. All your videos are so informative and helpful.
Thanks!!
I can't believe I just discovered you!!! I love you already!!
Love your videos! Always very helpful and informative! Keep up the good work!!!!!!
Thank you for the info! I've got a few brushes and until now, I wasn't sure what they were used for. I've seen people use either or (dome or flat top) and I wasn't sure if there was a reason...thank you for clearing this up for me! Also, thanx for the homemade mixing medium recipe, you are truly my m/u Guru!
hi Marcy - Baby Shampoo is the most common to use when washing brushes. Its gentle enough for the brush bristles. So definitely use baby shampoo when deep cleaning your brushes.
This was insanely helpful, thank you SO MUCH KOREN!
i love you ,,, any vid i am loooking for you always come up its like you know exactly what people want to see
Wonderful demonstration. Thank you for the info.
hey Assie - it can be drying to already dry skin so I advise to really moisturise the skin prior to makeup application. Mineralized by nature absorbs oil, so a lot of people with oily skin are starting ot gear towards mineral makeup. Its hard to know if somethng is mineral unless you have the ingredients list printed. You can find out what Brand it is, and look it up online.
hey Paige - i like to be able to have a variable in application, so I can either choose to start light and the build to whatever coverage I wanted, so Im gearing towards the domed at the mo. But having the flat top is handy as well in my profession.
Thank you! That was very helpful!
Thanks Koren! You're fabulous!
Fabulous tip!! Thanks so much for doing this tutorial. ;) You're the BEST!!
You're awsome Koren!!!
this has helped so much. . thanks!
I love these videos. You are so nice! I don't use minerals anymore because they show everything-pores, lines you didn't even think you had...I started using the Make up Forever HD with the stippling brush. It's to die for!
Thank you so much for our vids - i really enjoy them. I recently started using mineral cosmetics, and a bit more recently started applying them wet. I sue Burts Bees Complexion mists on my brushes and it seems to wrk really well. Use that prior to moisturing too. Thanks again! Peace!
this is certainly very helpful! i've been wanting to get the dome and the flat top brushes from everyday minerals cuz i've heard a lot of great reviews on it...now i really know when to use the flat top and when to use the dome brush...thanks koren!
You tutorial was awesome!!!! I'm beginning to put on make up and you really did help a lot!!!!! Thanks❤❤❤
hey Liz - I like the Domed, somehow, it just really feels softer on the skin.
Thank you! It was very useful! :)
Very helpful video! Thanks :)
Thanks for the tutorial, you really put in a great deal of work making your videos clear and understandable. Its greatly appreaciated.
I was thinking for me the domed one could work better in the daytime with a lighter makeup and the flat for evenings when the makeup can be a little more dramatic/heavyer.
Thanks a bundles!
Oh I never thought about it!
Thanks for the tip, I will check the diva defense primer!
Thanks again!
Lorina
I thought I'd watch this to help me determine which type of brush I want to buy but now I just want both. haha. oh well. Thank you for the great information as always.
Thank you for this! Very helpful video.
yes, it does look like it! - I have one in Italian Badger that I use as a shaving brush.
That helped me a lot actually! haha you basically told me which brush to buy.
This was very helpful, thank you!
Awesome..thanks so much. I just had this question yesterday and was wondering. So thanks for this video. You are great.
for the most part - Kabuki brushes is another term used for BUFFER brushes - so if the bush is intended to used as a buffer, most will call it a kabuki brush
very detail, very helpful! this is exactly what i want to know!! thanks a lot :D
because its easier to add more or build than thinning to taking out if you find the coverage too thick, cakey or heavy.
Great video! Which brush feels nicer on the skin?
Thank you very much again Koren for your reply!
And keep up the good work ;-D!!!!
hey lorina- sounds like you will need to prime your skin so that your foundation doesnt sink into your pores. You can check out Prep & Prime Skin from MAC, Photo Finish from Smashbox, or if you like minerals, check out Diva Defense primer at coastalscents. I heard its good mineral primer.
i've been wondering about whether i should use the dome or flat-top so this video really helped me a LOT. i need more coverage so i think the flat-top would be the best for me, thank youu!!!
i highly recommend a primer if you want a smoother finish to your foundation.
hi Melly - YES, the bristle is exactly the same, just the handle is different.
This video is the reason why I bought a flat-top kabuki brush. I have the medium-sized one from TKB Trading.
You can ask any makeup brand employees on the ingredients. every makeup company have a list of each of their products and its ingredients. But I tell you now, mineral makeup are probably the only ones that doesnt have all those fillers and additives.
cool video. I watched it all day
thanks for the tip with the fix spray!! nice.
yeah Try Evian Face Spritz - Glycerin will give the foundation finish a Hi-Shine gloss to it.
I love your vdo. You help me a lot. I watched so many of your vdo.
hey Verdandi - I didnt notice any difference in the finish. However, somehow, the natural hair picks up mire fine powders than the synthetic does.
thank you sooo very much for the tip. really helps me since i'm new to this stuff!!!
You can use blotting sheets like purplexfire suggested. If you are looking for a powder anyway - MAC Blot Powder should be ok. Invisible if you have access to Pro products. Fix+ have a built in balancer toner (arganine), and it will help a little with your oily skin. Look into MAC Oil Control Lotion too.
yes, I find that its a little shimmery for me, I like matte minerals. Mineral makeup, no matter what brand, are made from the same natural ingredients. Nothing is lab produced, so in my opinion, its just branding that makes the diff.
I have 2 videos on Fix+ for you to watch. That might answer your question.
not when youre buffing, in most cases, reason why mineral foundation doesnt last in the skin is because its nor buffed well into the skin, so just a little more pressure than normal when you are applying mineral foundation is needed.
hey Essy - yes, they are the MAC 182 and 183
Thank you for the great info. I didn't know the flat brush was for more coverage.
this is amazing.
thanks for doing this vid. i have been wondering about this :]
yes, I have a video on Pressing Minerals. Just look it up in my bidz list. Hope that helps ya.
Sooooo Helpful! Thank you!
hey bretz - so far, BFTE foundation is the one that works for me, there's no shimmer and the coverage is great as I can build it. I also recommended it to my other guy friends in entertainment as it does look the most natural on Guys, and of course for women too without the shimmer and glitters some foundations have. Just moisturize your skin before applying mineralized foundation.
Thanx for that tip! I'm def gonna try it and see if that helps !!
Many thanks for your reply and information, it's very helpful ;-)!
ur videos are REALLY informative
great job! =]
Thank you! I use a dome top brush now with my minerals but I was wondering if the flat brush would work better the other day. I definitely have to get one now.
hey smily -sounds like you will need a face Primer. Try smashbox Studio Finish clear, it maatify the skin as well.
no, you dont want natural bristles on liquid foundation. And they are so dense it will just absorbe the foundation more between the bristles. I suggest using th 187 it will give you an airbrushed look if you wear liquid foundation.
awesome tutorial! I am actually planning on switching from liquid foundation to minerals. Currently I use Revlon Colorstay but I hate the cakey look it gives me. I want more of a natural look but at the same time a full coverage. What do u suggest for a full coverage foundation for acne prone and uneven skintone? Also the flat top brush u said it's from Mac?
yes it is! i got a flat top and i used it with liquid today, but if u got dry skin, do not buff, just pat it into ur skin while blending! :)
thanks for clearing this up for me. I have always used a flat top brush (Jane Iredale) - which I love but it is old and needs replacing: I have heard so much about the dome shaped kabuki brush that I was thinking of getting one to compare. I now know that I don't have to waste my money buying a dome shaped kabuki ($88 in Australia!)
Very useful video, thanks!
great video like always! I have a question, for people with oily skin, is it recomended to use the fix+ too? or its going to make the skin oilier? :D
I love seeing the half face comparisons. Should I use the Fix + w/ my MSF compacts or will that make it cake?
deep clean once a week, these brushes dry longer than most other brushes, so make sure to give it almost a whole day and night to dry.
Thank you so much! this has been very helpful =-)
THANK YOU KOREN! I really needed this video! But could I use plain old Glycerin as an alternative rather than Fix+ ??
Koren you are amazing ... thank you for this tutorial ;@
No, most do not, because mineral makeup bounces off camera and not very photo friendly due to its high mica content, along with other shimmery ingredients. For photoshoot and film, we use Hi-Definition Makeup and camera-friedly products.
Ty! You are so helpful
hey mandarina - definitely check out Mineralized SatinFinish, or Mineralized Skinfinish. Mineral makeup up is best for acne proned skin.
have you heard of All Natural Face? All natural, vegan mineral foundation - and the color range is amazing!! 30 colors in my pale - medium and you can order samples of all those colors for just $4.60. I finally was able to find a foundation that MATCHES my skin, not just "as close as I can hope" that I had been doing for years.
So good thank you, I am only just learning about makeup and brushes.
Thanks for that video Koren. I just started using mineral foundation this year :) where could I purchase the flat kabuki brush at?
:) this is a good video, i appreciate the information, i think i prefer the domed shape brush just because its softer and u can start off with a small amount and work ur way up, so u dont end up feeling like u have heavy make up. thanks for the vid :D which brush do u prefer?
nice video! thanks for sharing!
