Is the Laura Geller Angled Retractable Kabuki Brush Worth It?

There’s no shortage of makeup brushes out there, but every now and then one actually makes your routine easier. This angled, retractable kabuki brush from Laura Geller might be one of those rare finds. I’m picky about my tools—especially brushes that claim to work across powders, creams, and liquids. But this one surprised me. Compact, mess-free, and shockingly versatile, it might just earn a permanent spot in your bag.

I’m super picky about my makeup brushes, so when I say this angled retractable kabuki brush from Laura Geller impressed me, I mean it. It’s compact, clean, and works like a dream across powders, creams, and liquids. If you want a brush that’s precise, portable, and doesn’t make a mess—this might be your new go-to.

What Makes It Different
This isn’t just any kabuki brush. The Laura Geller version is angled for precision, which means it hugs the curves of your face—like the jawline and sides of your nose—better than a flat-top. The retractable design means no loose powder flying around and no brush head getting destroyed in your makeup bag. It’s got an aluminum handle, soft dense bristles, and it’s designed to work across formulas—powder, cream, and liquid.

How I Use It
If I’m applying powder foundation, this is the one. But I’ve also used it to blend liquid foundation in a pinch, and it didn’t streak or absorb too much product. Because of the angle, it gives you more control, especially when you’re blending bronzer or blush into specific areas. I also love that I can toss it in my purse without needing a separate brush guard.

Who It’s Best For
If you like:

• A single brush that multitasks
• Travel-friendly, mess-free tools
• A brush that blends instead of smears
• Control in tight areas like around the nose or hairline

Then this one’s probably worth trying.

What It Pairs Well With
This brush was made to go with Laura Geller’s Baked Balance-n-Brighten Foundation, but it plays well with a lot of products. I’ve used it with:

• Baked Blush-n-Brighten
• Baked Balance-N-Brighten Foundation
• Baked Natural Glow Highlighter
• Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer (after foundation, for finishing blend)
• Any cream contour or stick foundation

Final Thoughts
Not every brush deserves a review, but this one does. I wouldn’t say it replaces every brush I own, but for quick mornings, travel, and touch-ups—it does exactly what I need it to do. And it’s cute, which doesn’t hurt.
