  • It's an synthetic brush so vegans can use this!

Sigma F80 and F82 Kabuki Brush Review

Sigma F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki and F82 Round Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush Review

Hi guys, just doing this quick post on my new purchase and wow I'm in love!! I bought these the other day and haven't stopped using them, I have found my new foundation and powder brushes. These brushes make my skin look flawless, seriously I found a huge difference than using a wet sponge or my other brushes. These brushes work amazing with liquids, creams and powders which gives you amazing, flawless coverage every time.

Sigma F80 Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush Review
 

I love using this brush for my foundation, I was so surprised of how soft this brush was, because this brush is super dense bristles it buffs powders and liquid flawless without any trouble. I love the design of this brush, I have never own/used a brush where its so dense. 
Because this brush is synthetic, products don't sink into the fibres. I was so surprised that I needed less foundation than usual, because I usually use two pumps to do my foundation with my other foundation brush I only needed one pump using this brush and I felt like it was more than I needed. So I'm saving product and saving money. 
I personally am going to buy two of these brushes, simply because when I first got this brush home I washed it and it took one day to dry. So when I am using one and wash it, I won't have to wait for the other one to dry before using it again.
I love the flat top, makes buffing the foundation look flawless!

Look how dense this brush is!!


Sigma F82 Round Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush Review


Just like the F80 flat top kabuki this brush is super dense and is perfect for liquid, creams and powders. I personally love using this brush for my powder foundations or just my powders in general as it gives me this airbrush effect and gives me flawless coverage. When I use this brush just for my powder foundation it makes my powder look like second skin. 
I love this shape, its perfect for going round my nose and cheeks.


 Can't believe how dense these brushes are.


As you can see the F80 and the F82 are completely different shapes!

As you can see the brushes are the same height as my Travel size brushes.

On the left you have my Sigma F50 brush which I thought was dense, but nothing I own compare to the F80.


 FREE GIFT??



I received this free travel size sigma E25 blending brush
when I bought these 2 brushes :)

I simply have to rate these brushes:

5 Stars!! 
  • Value for money 
  • Gives you flawless coverage every time
  • Easy to clean
  • Soft bristles, feels amazing on your skin
  • Super dense! 
I bought these brushes from:
 (One of my favorite online makeup stores!)

also the pink brush/other Sigma brushes is from:

My Top 5 MAC Brushes for Beginners.

My Top 5 MAC Brushes for Beginners.




                                                                                       187 109 217 224 263

Hi guys, this is a quick post about brushes I personally think would be a big help towards people who need, want advise about choosing MAC brushes. If I was going to MAC and had to choose 5 MAC brushes for beginners, these brushes I would pick, as these are all the brushes you need to make you makeup look professional. These brushes are expensive but these brushes have amazing quality and will last you for years.
Starting with the MAC 187

This brush can be used for foundation, creams and powders. This brush has duo fibre, circle head which allows you to blend colour beautifully into the skin and gives you a light application which allows you to build texture to the skin. I love using this brush for a light foundation as it gives you an airbrush effect and like your foundation is second skin. I also love applying blush with this brush as gives you a sheer amount of colour which is perfect if you don't like loads of colour on your cheeks. It is made from a soft blend of goat and synthetic fibres which is perfect for blending.




MAC 109

This brush is amazing for foundation, contour, blush, highlight and powder. You could do your whole face with this brush!. If I forgot my MAC tool belt with all my brushes and had 2 of these brushes I could do my whole face routine. If I was new to makeup brushes, I would seriously buy this brush, as you can do so much with this brush. It’s one of my favourite makeup brushes that I have ever own or used. I seriously can't stop recommending it.


MAC 224

I love, love, love this brush! Since the very first day I bought this brush I haven't stopped using it. It’s amazing for blending out eye shadow, pigments, gels, colour bases and my favourite job for this brush is concealer. When you look at this brush you don't really think of a thick concealer brush, or a brush being about to blend a concealer but it blends concealers flawlessly. I love this brush for blending out my mac concealers (pro long wear, moisture cover and studio fix) Even studio fix being a thick concealer it blends it perfectly and makes your concealer like second skin. I always like to blend out harsh eye shadow with this brush, and it’s amazing for applying under eye powder to set your concealer. I seriously recommend everyone this brush for concealer and blending out eye shadows.




MAC 217

As you know this brush is very well known for blending colours/harsh eye shadow lines, and applying eye shadows/pigments/colour bases/gels/creams on the eyelids. I love this brush, I wish I had bought this brush first, because you can do your whole eye with this one brush. I apply one eyeshadow in the crease with the (MAC 222) and blend the colour out with brush and then apply a lighter colour the crease and still blend out the harsh lines. Its also great for applying an all over colour on the eyelids and the flipping the brush over and apply a dark in the crease if your in a rush. This brush is one of my favorite brushes out of my whole MAC collection as it makes your eye shadows look like a professional has done it for you . If you need a brush for blending this is the brush for you.



MAC 263

This brush can be used for eyeliner (eye shadow/fluid line/liquid/gel/pencil) and can be used to do eyebrows (wax/eye shadow/gel/liquid). I personal use this everyday for my eyebrows as I have fair eyebrows and need to fill them in. And when I have done that, I clean the brush with a makeup wipe and use it for my gel/fluid line eyeliner. If you want an eyeliner/eyebrow brush this is your brush!

My Top 5 MAC Face Brushes for Beginners.


  187 190 116 109 164

Hi guys, just a quick post. I was going through my MAC brushes in my tool belt and it made me think, if I new to MAC brushes, what brushes would I of picked and what brushes do I use instead of the ones that I own. I love my MAC brushes, they will last you for years because of the amazing quality.  But if I had to pick 5 brushes for someone who was new to face brushes, and wanted brushes that would last them for years then these brushes I personally think would help.

Starting with the MAC 187

This brush can be used for foundation, creams and powders. This brush has duo fibre, circle head which allows you to blend colour beautifully into the skin and gives you a light application which allows you to build texture to the skin. I love using this brush for a light foundation as it gives you an airbrush effect and like your foundation is second skin. I also love applying blush with this brush as gives you a sheer amount of colour which is perfect if you don't like loads of colour on your cheeks. It is made from a soft blend of goat and synthetic fibres which is perfect for blending.




MAC 190

This brush is well known for foundation, this is a great brush for apply thick, creamy foundation. I like to use this brush to apply a thicker foundation and then blend the product out with a MAC 109 brush or with a wet sponge. This brush gives you a professional finish and is very handy to have; I also love applying my primer with this brush and then using my foundation as it makes applying foundation easier and blend better.





MAC 116

This brush is best used for blush, highlight and powders, but I have even applied my foundation with this brush. I love this brush, for me personally its perfect for applying blusher as it fits perfectly on my cheeks and great for applying contour and highlight. I love the shape of this brush; it blends powders and liquids beautifully. If you need or want a blush brush then this is the brush for you, it will always give you a smooth, professional finish.





MAC 109

This brush is amazing for foundation, contour, blush, highlight and powder. You could do your whole face with this brush!. If I forgot my MAC tool belt with all my brushes and had 2 of these brushes I could do my whole face routine. If I was new to makeup brushes, I would seriously buy this brush, as you can do so much with this brush. It’s one of my favourite makeup brushes that I have ever own or used. I seriously can't stop recommending it.




MAC 164

This brush is great for contour and powder. I have also used this brush for liquid foundation and it blended out beautifully, this angled brush buffs out product without effort.  Out of my angled brush collection I always reach for this brush, it’s very soft and is made out of goat hair and will always give you a professional finish and smooth application.
