Sigma Beauty F80 Flat Kabuki Brush – Flat Top Kabuki Foundation Brush and Professional Grade Makeup Brush with Ultra-Soft Fibers for Blending Liquid & Cream Makeup Products (Black, 1pc)

I hemmed and hawed over purchasing this brush because I am very skeptical about online reviews since some can be fake or exaggerated, but I finally broke down and bought it after watching a review video on YouTube. I'm so glad I did!!!I used to apply my foundation with my hands until I bought an E.L.F foundation brush at my local Target. It seemed fine so I was using it for a long while as I debated this brush. (It's important that you know that it has only been in the past year that I've been buying more expensive make-up vs. drugstore stuff so I could never justify spending so much for a make-up application brush.)This brush is truly amazing! First of all, I purchased it from Etailz, one of the Sigma approved Amazon retailers. As a Prime member, I received my brush in two days in perfect condition and I am positive it is a real Sigma product as it has all the markers other reviewers said a real brush should have. Then I used the brush and I was blown away at how flawless my foundation came out that day! The brush is super soft and dense and the product just went on perfectly. I applied like I always do: pumped some product onto the back of my hand, dipped my brush in, and started at the center of my face, working my way out and up with smooth, circular strokes. I worked it all in and was thrilled at the the end result.Now, I am going to say that I am a firm believer that the foundation you use makes a huge difference as well (I use YSL Touche Eclat so it's a higher-end foundation that itself goes on flawlessly) but I most definitely noticed a difference between the application with the E.L.F brush and this one - there was absolutely no comparison!This brush is my new go to and I would re-purchase it in a heartbeat. Just be sure to purchase either from one of the approved sellers so you know you're getting a real Sigma brush (another reviewer listed them in a previous review) or go right through Sigma. I went with Amazon b/c of the super fast, free shipping from Prime. You won't regret your purchase, I promise! :)

This brush feels incredibly soft on the skin, blends foundation beautifully, and does a good job getting around tough places (e.g., the nose). I have used it mainly with Lancome Teint Idole foundation and the Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. Here are my thoughts compared to a few other brushes in my collection:Real Techniques Buffing Brush: The Sigma F80 is better for foundation. I do like the buffing brush with BB creams, but if I want to wear a foundation that is tougher to blend, the F80 is superior. I have fewer streaking issues with the F80 and I feel that I get a fuller coverage.Tarte Foundation Brush: This brush leaves a beautiful finish for the Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation BUT it is not great for getting into crevices and smaller spaces. The F80 is a lot better. It blends flawlessly all over the face.Real Techniques Expert Face Brush: This brush is good for BB creams and tinted moisturizers but it is really prone to streaking. The F80 is definitely worth the extra cash compared to the Real Techniques brush for tougher to blend foundations like Estee Lauder Double Wear or Tarte Amazonian Clay.This brush is fairly easy to wash, though the Tarte Amazonian Clay is a bear to clean if I don't wash it right away (an issue with that foundation for ALL brushes).

Sigma F80 isn't just a brush, it's a magic wand that erases all your facial imperfections :). I finally gave into the hype about this brush because i was having some real deal problems when applying my foundation. Cheap sponges made my foundation streak horribly and my fingers didn't apply as evenly and made me look cakey. And honestly I was sick of it! So here is my story on Sigma Famazing brush!Im normally not a stickler for packaging but I was so pleased that my brush came in a nice secure bag with a plastic shaper on it. I took the brush out and closely examined and it was in perfect condition, brand spanking new. I prepped my face and dabbed on my foundation and worked the brushes magic. The feel of the brush on my face was so soft!! Within a matter of min my foundation was applied, I was so pleased that this required so little effort. I looked at the results and I literally gasped and gazed into the mirror. Perfection!! No streaks no spots, this brush gave me a flawless finish! The brush smoothed and blended my foundation so beautifully. And my foundation is pretty thick! (Mary Kay 607 Bronze) I was blown away!! Let me tell you Honey, your fingers will NEVER be able to provided you with such beautiful coverage. I will NEVER use my fingers again. Follow me in Instagram Kissmy_sashay
