Sigma Beauty F82 Round Kabuki Brush – Kabuki Foundation Brush for Buffing Mineral Powder, Kabuki Makeup Brush for Blended, Natural Looking Finish (1 Brush)

This is the best brush ever. It's small and very dense and soft. I applies foundation beautifully, if you want that very smooth, thing layers that look almost airbrushed. This is small and I do believe there is a large version. Small takes more times but means it works on the nose and around the eyes. It is very dense so foundation blends beautifully. I use it with Laura Mercier Silk Cream Foundation and BB creams and it does an amazing job. The beauty blender is faster and soft on the skin. This looks even better, as you can really blend. You can use it for any cream or liquid product. I use it to apply powdered blush sometimes as it's small and I like to apply blush on a small area, as I have redness near the nose, so I don't want anything pinky even close to that area. So I can bland in small area with this. It is very well made. It feels so soft against the skin yet the very firm. It's a super dense brush and fairly stiff. This is a really well made brush.

This was sort of an "impulse" buy....I was looking for a face cream by Salma Hayek and I happened to see these brushes. I pondered......my Bare Minerals kabuki brush is old so I rationalized that I could actually use a new brush and I liked the look of this one with the longer handle.I went ahead and ordered, then right away had buyers remorse, thinking to myself that I probably should not have spent that much money on the brush. When the brush arrived, I was worried when I saw that the bristles were much "shorter" in length than my Bare Minerals kabuki.BUT......when I first used it.....I was THRILLED. My Bare Minerals foundation with this brush was MUCH BETTER than my original B.M. kabuki. The coverage was MUCH better, and I ended up using LESS makeup.This brush was WAY worth the money, I am so so glad I bought it!!!! If you are wondering about this one.....GO FOR IT. This brush will be your favorite brush, no question. I love it with my mineral foundation.*************UPDATE: I've been using my Sigma kabuki brush for a couple months now, and I am still over the moon in love with it. Every time I use it I am so glad I stumbled upon it here on Amazon. This is by far the best brush I've ever used for my mineral foundation application. It makes the makeup go on smoothly, evenly and effortlessly. I have very blotchy skin with some redness, and the coverage with this brush is far superior to the Bare Escentuals kabuki. And I need less makeup than with the B.E. kabuki, yet I get great coverage. My skin looks like porcelain after applying my makeup with this brush, I kid you not. I can't say enough about this brush. If you are considering buying this one, do not hesitate. You will be very happy with it!!

This brush is an awesome powder brush, a little small, the reason i gave 4 stars. The brush if very soft, and creates a very nice coverage. Cant go wrong for such a great price. This was my first purchase of sigma brushes, but i will be looking into the other brushes for future purchases. All over a great product and well wroth the money.

Before I had ordered this brush, I was using a traditional foundation brush which didn't blend my liquid foundation well and left my face looking cakey. I had heard kabuki brushes were great for applying and blending foundation, so when I saw the F82 brush I went ahead and ordered it. I absolutely love it, it blends my foundation really nicely, to the point where my face looks airbrushed. I love how the bristles are really dense, soft, and firm, making it easy to buff the foundation onto my face. The rounded edges make it easy to apply foundation around my nose, chin, and under my eyes. It also cut the time it takes to apply my foundation in half. It's good to use for contouring as well, and applying/blending other face products like concealer, blush, bronzer etc. The price is great as well, I love not having to spend over $30 for a good quality brush. Definitely recommended

I have never heard of Sigma Brushes until recently, but I had been stalking the Sephora platinum Airbrush foundation brushSEPHORA COLLECTION Professionnel Platinum Air Brush #55 Professionnel Platinum Air Brush for a while, but couldn't pull the trigger on it because of the price tag. So I tried this round top Kabuki instead.I completely LOVe this brush! I was not sure if I should get this brush or the flat top Kabuki, I am glad I got this one because it gets in under my eyes as well as a wider application area. Actually this brush now doubles as my foundation AND concealer brush! I used this with my Bobbi Brown concealerCreamy Concealer Kit - Warm Beige - Bobbi Brown - Complexion - Creamy Concealer Kit - -, AND my coastal Scents camouflage paletteCoastal Scents Professional Camouflage Concealer Palette, and the application under my eye was flawless. No streaks, no dry globby bits of product stuck in the tiny crinkles under my eyes! (I originally thought about returning the Bobbi Brown concealer because it was kind of chunky and thick when I put it on with my normal concealer brush)I literally just dab the brush in my concealer pot or pan, and starting in the crook between my nose and my eyes and sweep the brush back and forth under my eye and along the top of my cheekbone. It works even with my eyes closed, no need for a seperate brush for application and then another for blending. I used to use a flat synthetic paddle brush to pick up the product and apply it to my face, and then a fluffy eyeshadow brush (MAC 224) to blend it out so it looks natural. NOT ANYMORE! I have found the best brush for the task and it was like half the price of the brush I was originally thinking about buying. In the words of one Mr. Charlie Sheen: hello, "WINNING!"
