Sigma Beauty F80 Air Flat Kabuki Brush – Flat Top Kabuki Foundation Brush with Premium Synthetic Fibers for Evenly Blending and Buffing Foundation, Compatible with Liquid & Cream Makeup Product

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! :)

Quality brush. Makes a huge difference when applying foundation compared to cheap brands. And its a reasonable cost.

I too heard about this brush from youtube video reviews of foundation, and I'm in love. I'm mostly a MAC snob and had been using their brushes, face and body foundation and primer but still wasn't happy. My combination skin is mostly in great shape, but I'v been disappointed with cakey or too watery foundations. I bought this and my new foundation (Laura Mercier silk creme foundation) and VOILA - flawless face! I then went back and tried this with my MAC as well as several wal-mart brands (cover girl, revlon, etc.) and they look great. Using a stippling effect achieves a great, semi-airbrushed look. Blends concealer and creme blushes/highlighters/contours amazingly. My favorite part is that you can use the brush lightly damp or with facial mist and blend out any areas that are too thick or need blending. I did this part way through the day at work to freshen up and was very pleased.I have to confess that I have a facial hair problem due to very aggravating disorder that drives me nuts. So nuts that I have to shave every day before I leave the house. This is not fun for a woman! Anyway, I am paranoid about being out and having a stubble show through late in the day, and this brush combined with the right foundation (and stippling!) buys me a lot of time. My girlfriends, my fiance and even my very "man's man" brother commented on how great and model-ish my face looked just last night.Even if you have perfect skin I recommend this brush. Better than my other 3 foundation brushes, probably because of the shape and density of the bristles. Not a bad price either. I have used this on friends as well, equally amazing response.

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).

I enjoy this brush to applying concealer. It works great!

I have owned several of these brushes over the years - I've tried other brushes by MAC, It Cosmetics, Make Up Forever, and other premium brands, as well as drugstore brands but I keep returning to this one because it applies my foundation so well and is the perfect size and shape. No streaks, even application, and fast to apply. I do have an issue after a year or so where the bristles start falling out so that is why I rated 4 instead of 5. I will continue to reorder when the time comes.

I love Sigma brushes. They are very high quality and this brush is amazing. My other favorite brush was the Rare Beauty foundation brush. This has easily become my new favorite go to foundation brush. It’s soft and makes my foundation go on very smooth and doesn’t feel hard or prickly on my face when I’m tapping my foundation in. 10/10 would recommend.

Pricey but good

Llego en buen tiempo la calidad de las brochas de Sigma son excelentes

Sou simplesmente apaixonada pela marca Sigma. Desde 2011 quando comprei meu kit de pincéis e também meu kabuki, senti a diferença que eles oferecem na qualidade do pincel e das cerdas. Toque macio na pele o que proporciona um acabamento aveludado na maquiagem. Recomendo muito e não para testar mais para amar a primeira vista.

Non avevo mai provato un prodotto Sigma!!! Adesso capisco xchè ne parlano tutti bene!!! Stendere il fondotinta con questo pennello è una vera coccola!!! Stesura uniforme e compatta!! Setole ultra soft!!! Felicissima dell'acquisto!!!

Love this brush. Use most days! Staple part of my makeup routine. Use for foundation base. Easy to clean.
