Retractable Kabuki Brush

A kabuki head is short, dense and made for buffing — and this one from Hourglass hides inside its own handle. Twist it out to press blush or powder into the skin, twist it back in and it survives a day in your bag without losing its shape.

What it actually does

• Buffs rather than dusts. Hourglass designed this one specifically for working blush and powder into the skin, which is where a dense kabuki head earns its place.
• Retracts for travel. The brush is built as a portable piece, so the bristles stay protected between uses.
• Taklon bristles. High-grade, very soft, and PETA-approved per the brand.
• Hygiene and allergies. The brand describes Taklon as more hygienic than animal hair and a practical option for anyone who reacts to it.
• Weighted metal handle that Hourglass says keeps blending controlled and effortless.
• Not limited to powder. The brand confirms it works with liquid and cream products too.
• Vegan and cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Extend the head by twisting the handle.
2. Load a small amount of product — a dense head grabs more than you expect, so start light.
3. Press and buff in circles until the colour sits flush with the skin.
4. Retract and cap before storing.

Cleaning: use a mild soap with water, work it through the bristles gently, rinse, then dry the brush flat.

Questions

What is the difference between this and a powder brush?

A kabuki head is shorter and denser, which is why Hourglass frames this one around buffing blush and powder into the skin. A longer, looser powder head is better for a light all-over dusting.

Are the bristles synthetic?

Yes — Taklon fibre, not animal hair. Hourglass states the brush is vegan, cruelty-free and PETA-approved.
