Review: CCM Short Handle Flat Top Foundation Brush from Colours Cosmetic Malaysia

You might be familiar with different brushes if you're a makeup lover. Despite of different brands in the cosmetic industry, who don't have a favorite one, right? Whether it’s a high end or a drugstore brand, it doesn't matter as long as we achieve the look that we wanted, a flawless and perfect natural finish look, effortless.

Let’s talk about my new Flat Top Kabuki Foundation Brush by Colours Cosmetics Malaysia. This Foundation brush is designed for liquid, cream and even powder products. Absolutely a-must-have if you more on liquid foundation, it works perfectly and no more  cakey and unnatural finish look. Trust me... I've been using this Flat Kabuki brush more on lately, even with my pressed powder, forget those sponges/beauty blender and be with my newly fave Foundation brush. 

Let's have a take a look on the brush that I'm talking about ;)

It comes with a brush guard
The measurement is approx. 10cm
If you haven't heard about Colours Cosmetics Malaysia – they are a cosmetic online seller here in Malaysia and they carried many cosmetic products like Sleek Makeup, Milani, Jordana, NYX and many more.. And the brush I am reviewing right now is under their trademark  and exclusively can purchase only from their web store.
It is made from synthetic bristles, cruelty-free and never tested in animals. The ferrule is made from tri- chrome plating (less commonly chromium plating) provides corrosion resistance and can be long lasting.

This CCM Short Handle Flat Top Kabuki Foundation Brush is can be a dupe for Sigma F80 Kabuki Brush (in my own observation) except for the handle which is a huge exemption because CCM Foundation brush has a short and quite thick handle while the Sigma F80 has a long and quite thin handle. But, for the bristles and its densely packed, it's a win-win! Why spend much money for the high end brand if you can get one in affordable price yet you can get the same quality. Agree?! 


But, of course, everyone has their own preferences of brand when it comes to makeup products, but for me, I am totally satisfied with my new foundation brush. If you're a beginner, this brush might be the one you need because you don't need to have a different brush when you are just a beginner, you should start from a brush that can do multitasking  when applying makeup  (e.g. Blending Brush- can be used for applying your eyeshadow, blending your eye shadow, contouring brow bone and the nose bridge area. While Kabuki Flat Top Brush - can used for foundation (for liquid, cream and powder), contouring, highlighter, blush and setting powder. Don't make yourself confuse for having many brushes that you don't really know what they used for. Be basic and just learnt about it. Overall, I'm really pleased with it. 

One more thing!
Have you experienced that your brush always knocked your mirror while doing your makeup routine because of the long handle? Yeah, that's what happened in my case. It keeps me knocking the mirror every time and it is really annoying. That is the main reason why I bought my CCM Foundation Kabuki brush. Due to its short handle, it solved my problem, just like that! No more bumping my brush in front of the mirror again. That's kind of a relief actually :)


The bristles were so soft, very gentle to use even for sensitive skin, you wouldn't even think that it's a synthetic. 

How I used it
I used my CCM Short Handle Flat Top Kabuki Brush with my drugstore product which is the Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation in Early Tan. I applied it in circular motion start from my T-zone area towards my cheeks, jaw line and to my forehead. Wait it to settle down and applied my setting powder (ELF HD Powder). It was just so perfect and feels like no foundation at all. Normally when I'm using a Beauty Blender, I get a medium to heavy coverage, while my RT Stippling Brush provides me light coverage. But this Kabuki Brush really just impressed me. I expected to feel a little bit heavy but I felt my skin still can breathe nicely and I don't feel like I have foundation on my face. I just don't know why.
