Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Review

This is my everyday foundation brush. I purchased it after reading many great reviews and it has not disappointed.

I use this brush to buff in any liquid foundation or BB cream. It is just the right size to be used on large flat areas as well as in little creases. The end result of 'buffing' in foundation with this brush looks truly airbrushed. The density of the bristles means makeup build up in the brush is minimal and you can get away with only washing once every 5 days or so (I used to wash my flat foundation brush daily). I have been using this brush for several months now and it hasn't shed yet which is always a sign of a good quality brush!

I love this brush with every being in my body, it is what revolutionised my foundation application and is why I have 2 backups that are in constant rotation.

How can a brush change your life! well easy, when you find that one brush that makes the very art of applying makeup fun, easy and gets the flawless effect every single time, then that is a brush that changes your life. This is what Sigma have done to me with their F80 flat kabuki brush.

Having 2 brushes in their normal silver barrel, and 1 in their copper barrel, all 3 of them have the same easy grip handle in a shiny black coat that is just the right length and girth to be comfortable to handle as you spot, swirl and blend liquid foundations into place on your skin. The bristles are tightly bounded to make a dense flat top that allows only the minimal amount of makeup to be sucked up into the brush so you don't waste any makeup, but yet keeps a softness that feels like velvet upon your face. After multiple washes (all 3 get at least 1 wash every week) these brushes show their quality with no loss of bristles, no loosen of compaction and when washed properly where you prevent water from entering the barrel, no movement of the bristles, retaining the shape of the brush head.

My F80 is a brush I rely on daily, to make my skin look like it does. Before I was using either my fingers or a sponge as the flat foundation brushes were forever leaving streaks, but my F80 never does.

Well who doesn't like this brush, its flat out a great tool for everyone, beginner to MUA. This was my first flat top and I still to this day love it but am currently going through the beauty blender phase. This brush is great for apply liquid and cream foundation even BB creams. This used to be my everyday foundation brush if you are going to use it on a daily basis make sure to regularly wash it as its so dense product builds up quickly, I used to wash mine every other day and I've never had an issue with the bristles shedding or the ferrule becoming loose. The bristles are really soft and dense which helps blend the product flawlessly into your skin not just leaving it sitting on the surface and making blending easier but don't get me wrong you still need to work to get a flawless finish. I personally think that this works its best with a dewy or satin finish foundation I just really don't like using a brush with matte foundation. This is a really sturdy brush the handle is quite thick which is great you can apply a bit more pressure without feeling the the handle will eventually give out. I've you've been on the fence as it is getting a bit pricey I see it a lot at around the $34 - $36 mark, I would invest in one I've had mine 2 years and its still going strong. Great product!

I don't know what I was doing before I bought this brush, it makes my foundation go on so perfectly, I have no idea how I survived without it. It's super dense so it doesn't absorb excess product and it buffs the product into your skin so it's not just sitting on the surface looking cakey. So far it hasn't shed on me at all and I've washed it heaps. The quality of this brush is amazing and I can't recommend it enough!

If I am not using a beauty blender I am using this brush to blend in my foundation,I dab the foundation in spots over my face,then blend and stipple the foundation over my face,it leaves your foundation looking flawless,the brush is so soft but dence enough to do the stipple motion,it has a black handle with silver trim,I have washed the brush many times,and it does not shed any bristles,I would recomend to others
