Kabuki Makeup Brush

$28.00
Iris Hantverk

Made by hand in Sweden, the Kabuki Makeup Brush features fine goat hair bristles that glide effortlessly over the skin, delivering smooth, even coverage of beauty products. The natural fibers create a light, flawless finish, ideal for applying setting powder, blush, bronzer, or highlighter. Finished with a shaped birchwood handle, it’s a tool designed to bring both beauty and precision to your daily makeup ritual.

Kabuki originally refers to a traditional form of Japanese theater known for its elaborate costumes, stylized performances, and dramatic makeup. The word itself comes from three Japanese characters: ka (singing), bu (dancing), and ki (skill).

Care

To clean the brush, swirl it gently in a mix of water and shampoo, adding more water as needed until clean. Squeeze out excess water with a towel and let it dry lying flat. 

Wooden brushes age gracefully with regular use and a bit of care. To keep yours in good shape, avoid prolonged exposure to water and let it dry between uses.
