Check out what made to this year’s “The Luxury Index” (TIME Winter 2007 supplement):

Yes, yes. Like you, I thought that I’ve seen the Yachiyo kabuki ages and ages ago somewhere else:

I would agree on how TIME described NARS’ kabuki brushes to be “designed to define and contour cheekbones.” While we’re already familiar with the usual short and dense kabuki brush variant, (should it be available in your area) you should give the featured brush a shot. I got to try it a year or two ago and oh my — the definition it gives is amazing! Similar to the uber-popular MAC 187, it picks up the right amount of pigment all the time. I would love to have this in my boudoir for my growing number of bronzers. I can totally picture the soft sculpting wonders it can do!
