FAQs

What kind of foundation is the Sigma F80 best suited for?

The Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush is best suited for applying and blending liquid and cream foundations, designed to provide a smooth, airbrushed finish with these specific formulas.

How do I achieve an airbrushed finish with this brush?

For an airbrushed finish, first 'stipple' (dab) your foundation onto your skin. Then, use small, gentle circular motions to buff and blend the product outwards until seamlessly applied.

What does 'buildable coverage' mean for this brush?

Buildable coverage means you can achieve varying levels of coverage, from medium to full, by applying thin layers of foundation and blending them. The brush allows you to add more product without it looking heavy or caked.

What are Sigmax® fibres?

Sigmax® fibres are ultra-soft, synthetic fibres specifically engineered by Sigma Beauty to pick up and smoothly apply liquid and cream products without absorbing too much product, ensuring an even and high-definition finish.

How often should I clean my F80 brush?

For optimal performance and hygiene, it is recommended to clean your F80 brush regularly, ideally after every 1-2 uses, to prevent product buildup and maintain its softness.

Can I use this brush for powder foundation?

While the F80 is primarily designed for liquid and cream foundations, its dense head is not ideal for the precise, diffused application typically required for powder foundations. Using it with powders may lead to a heavy application.

What are the dimensions of the brush?

The dimensions of the Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush are approximately 17 x 35 x 150mm (width x depth x height).

Troubleshooting

Streaky or uneven foundation application.

Ensure you are using the recommended application technique: 'stipple' the foundation onto your skin first, then blend with small, gentle circular motions. Make sure the brush is clean and free of old product buildup. Use a small amount of foundation and build coverage as needed.

Brush feels stiff or is not blending effectively.

This often indicates product buildup. Clean your brush thoroughly using a dedicated brush cleanser or mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before next use.

Brush appears to be shedding fibres excessively.

A small amount of shedding during the first few uses is normal for new brushes. If shedding persists or is excessive, ensure you are cleaning and drying the brush correctly (e.g., not soaking the ferrule, drying flat). If the issue continues, contact Sigma Beauty customer support.

Product is absorbing too much into the brush rather than applying to skin.

Check the consistency of your foundation; some very liquid formulas might absorb more. Ensure the brush is completely dry before use. Also, try applying a small amount of foundation directly to your skin or a palette first, then picking it up with the brush.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Sigma F80 Flat Kabuki Brush comes ready to use right out of the packaging. No assembly or special preparation is required.

Compatibility

This brush is specifically designed for use with:

  • Liquid Foundations
  • Cream Foundations

Its Sigmax® fibres are optimized to pick up and blend these formulations efficiently for a smooth finish. While it can technically be used with other cream-based products like cream blushes or bronzers, its primary function and optimal performance are achieved with foundation.

Recommended Care

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your F80 brush:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Clean your brush regularly, ideally after every 1-2 uses, to prevent product buildup, maintain hygiene, and ensure optimal performance. Use a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap and lukewarm water.
  2. Washing Technique: Gently swirl the brush head in the cleanser or soap, then rinse thoroughly under lukewarm running water, pointing the brush head downwards to avoid water seeping into the ferrule (the metal part).
  3. Reshape & Dry: Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel. Reshape the brush head to its original form and lay it flat or hang it upside down (using a brush drying rack) to air dry completely. Avoid drying vertically with the bristles pointing up, as water can loosen the glue in the ferrule over time.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleaners, as these can damage the synthetic fibres.
