Too Faced Flatbuki Brush Review
One of my all time favorite purchases recently is the Too Faced FlatBuki Brush. I held off purchasing this for a while since I have so many facial brushes (kabuki and otherwise) it seemed a terrible waste to get another. After seeing the brush in person, purchasing it, and finally using it, I find myself asking, “How did you ever get along without this little brush?”
Jump ahead for a brief review on the Too Faced Flatbuki Brush!
With a mere $12.50 price tag this is probably one of thee cheapest (and perhaps tiniest) brush in my collection. I think it’s well worth a check out and purchase for the price as it multitasks at applying bronzes, blushers, powders, and shimmers perfectly onto your face with little to no work on your part. A quick tap and swirl blends color seamlessly on my cheeks.
The Too Faced Flatbuki is actually a smaller version of the regular Too Faced Retractable Kabuki. Mind you this isn’t retractable nor does it have the standard kabuki look or feel. The brush is a flat head and not as dense or round as many other kabuki styles. It’s flat, very soft, and lacks the density of a regular kabuki style brush. The flat head allows it to fit nicely onto the contour of cheeks and allows for a nice sweeping motion for blush application. I personally wouldn’t attempt mineral foundation with this style brush but for using with blushes, bronzers, or other powder it’s a winner.
The brush is particularly great for brighter blushes or bronzers as the bristles pick up just the right amount of color without overdoing it. You can gradually build color up without going overboard. The brush feels incredible on my face as the bristles are incredible soft. It sports a cute pink metallic handle with a floral motif which is particularly flattering if you’re a lover of girly pink bits and bobs.
I simply adore the brush and recommend snagging one especially with it’s inexpensive price tag. The only thing that can be annoying is it’s not particularly travel friendly and can get easily get crushed in your makeup bag. But hey that goes for any style kabuki brush or brushes in general.
Loves this!
Great value for a sweet little multitasking brush that makes makeup application a snap.

How well do you think this brush would work with liquid foundations? It seems small enough for that!
hi whit I personally wouldn’t use this for foundation application, it’s flat and floppy so it won’t get good flawless coverage, prob make a mess. That is if you’re using with creams or liquids…for powder I’d try a rounder kabuki!
Can you please tell me the measurements of the Flatbuki brush? Thanks:)
I don’t know kim!? sorry.
im considering this because i was looking for an inexpensive kabuki. would it work on mac’s magically cool liquid powder?
sarah good brush but not so fab for the magically cool liquid. I’d go with a rounder kabuki or a softer poof for application of the powder!
thanks for the heads up. Is there a particular brush you recommend for that?
I have the le mini kabuki from mac which I like to use with these. any mini kabuki works great ;D
I’m torn now between this and the retractable kabuki by too faced. my current blush brush is en epic fail and doesn’t blend well. so i’m in need to good blush blush but i’ve been wanting a kabuki. which one do you recommend?
I don’t have the retractable sarah sorry
can’t really compare!
I just got the retractable kabuki and it’s amazing to use with my MAC Studio Fix Powder. I plan on picking up the flatbuki for blushes. These are the softest brushes ever!
aw so great you’re loving these whit, happy to hear it!
