Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Review and Giveaway - CLOSED

Hi Guys
Over the last few month you may have noticed a few changes in my blog layout and the appearance of some Sigma banners. Well a few months ago I became a Sigma Affiliate (you can read more about the programme here ) I am a huge fan of Sigma brushes the quality is really impressive, the prices are sensible and the customer service is first class. I have quite a few of the individual brushes This post is the first in a little series where I am going to review all my Sigma brushes for you :)

As a Sigma Affiliate I was very kindly sent the F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush to review for you. As you can see all Sigma brushes come beautifully packaged in a mesh/chiffon bag, which also contains a very sweet compliments slip and often a little leaflet telling you more about the brushes.

The F80 is one of Sigma's synthetic brushes, from their Sigmax line. Brushes in this range feature the exclusive Sigmax filament, which is specially designed to apply both powder and liquid products without the products absorbing into the brush fibres. This is so important when you use a brush to apply liquid foundation - they can often be very difficult to wash - not this one even just running the brush under the tap, removes the majority of products without any build up or stickiness.

The F80 has a flat top, and has super dense, but soft short bristles, which are perfect for buffing both powders and liquids in to the skin. I've given this brush a thorough workout and tried it with lots of different mediums. First up liquid foundation - this brush performed really well whether used to apply the foundation from scratch or after initial application to buff and blend the product in. As I say it was easy to clean afterwards and there was no shedding which you can often get when you use a brush with liquid products

I also used it for blusher / bronzer /highlighter - in a word fabulous - the brush picked up the product easily and it was easy to use and easy to place the product in exactly the right place and of course it goes without saying it's a great blush for blending product in - you certainly won't get an stripes with this brush :)

Next up loose face powder and mineral foundation. As you would expect this brush is great for blending loose powder over the t-zone, for covering a whole face however with either loose powder mineral foundation I personally prefer a slightly bigger brush, don't get me wrong this is a great brush and did the job perfectly will, it's just personal preference.

All in all this is a great multi use brush, you name it if you need to use a brush on your face you could probably do it with the F80. This brush retails for $16.00 which at the moment works out at less than £10.00, a really good price for such a versatile brush. For more information and to order please check out the Sigma Website .
