If you read my ‘Oops Splurged!‘ post back in September, then you know how I ended up getting Sigma F84 Angled Kabuki Brush rather than the Sigma F80 Flat Top Kabuki Brush. Well, I felt a little bumped initially about not getting the infamous F80 itself, but after using F84 for past six months as my foundation brush, I can proudly say that there are no regrets and in fact, this brush has become my holy grail foundation brush.
Just right after the first use, I felt blown away by the quality and finish of this brush. F84 Angled Kabuki Brush is a part of Sigma’s Sigmax collection which consists of brushes made up of dense and super soft synthetic fibres. It flawlessly blends and buffs the liquid foundation on the skin, giving a non-streaky air-brushed finish, and it also helps in building up better coverage. I do so by gently patting it over the blemishes, and they get covered effortlessly without looking cakey. The angle on this brush helps in reaching the under eye and around the nose areas with the foundation. Since the brush is so dense, it’s wiser to pick your product little by little, or it can easily get built up on the brush head and get wasted.
Even though I use my F84 for the foundation only (as I only have one yet!), it is actually made to ideally use with cream blushes and bronzers, and I can totally see how wonderfully it’ll work with both of them given that it has such a perfect angle for contouring and the right amount of the bristle density for blending cream products.
In the course of past six months, I have washed my brush many times and till date, not even a single fiber has shed, neither has the ferrule come loose so I’m super impressed by that. It does take a lot longer than other brushes to dry as it is so dense, however, I won’t say that it takes a whole day like many people do! It dries up in anywhere between 12-15 hours normally.
Price: $21

That's the most important thing foundation should be blended in such a way that it must not crack and if this brush can do that youre in heaven
Superb but i guess its a lil expensive
Yeah, I wish it was more affordable! Nonetheless, it's totally worth it! 🙂 x

I can totally see how well the shape of the brush will cooperate with the hollows of the cheeks.
It has a perfect angle to it! 🙂 x
My brush has a loose ferrule and it has shed too.I feel like crying ..Awaiyennnnn.Great review.Lovely photos
Oh no! :O How long have you been using it for?! 🙁 You should report the issue to Sigma! Also, be sure to take care while washing your brushes. Avoid getting water at the bottom end of the ferrule, as it looses up the glue. :/ Keep your brushes upside down against something after washing so that the water doesn't seep into the ferrule right after washing either.
well my brush is now over an year old but so is this problem.Shedding started soon after and ferrule prob noticed a month afterwards.I never bothered to do anythign coz i considered it a common prob for brushes.But yar for such a costly brush this is a big prob.also others have reported it too.You r right i should report.thankyou xoxoxo
As I said, I haven't experienced either over 6 months time and yes for the price you pay, you definitely deserve better! :/ Where did you get them from? Directly Sigma or some facebook page or any website? The latter two might be selling rejected lot or something. Just saying. If there exists a thing like that! :/ I have seen only a couple such cases and since they were reported, they were replaced. 🙂 x
Though I have a F80 but still this one looks equally good . Sigma <3
