![]() This brush did me well while I had it but I’m super happy to have a much better replacement!įinally we had the F88, the rounded angled brush. No matter how many times I wash it I have NEVER been able to get it back to white bristles, and that’s been true since the very first time I used this brush. This one also has the curse of stained bristles. The Sigma brush is so smooth and dense on top, while the Amazon one actually has like…a little ‘dip’ of sorts in the middle of the brush? Idk, you can kinda see it in the first pic. The F82 shows an even bigger jump in the quality from the Amazon set to the Sigma one. This is the knockoff F82 which I regularly had to trim or pluck loose hairs from before using, because it sheds so much! Look at all those hairs poking out on top!!! Also, the Amazon set sheds bristles a LOT: The Sigma set is much higher quality in that regard. Something I also don’t like about some of the Amazon ones is that they clearly don’t have enough bristles (I felt this way in particular about the flat top angled brush) so it feels like product is just falling down into the brush rather than being packed in and on to your face. The Amazon set weren’t necessarily bad or anything, but the Sigma ones are sooooo much softer and I’d estimate they probably have 2-3x more bristles packed in there. ![]() The biggest difference in all the brushes I think was the quality of the bristles. You can also see that the Amazon one is stained a little bit – obviously I can’t tell if the Sigma ones will stain yet because in these photos I hadn’t used them yet, but it feels like the Amazon ones sometimes can’t get 100% clean no matter how much I scrub. In the brush on the left you can see some loose bristles poking out on the sides and it’s obviously not as dense either. ![]() It’s the same basic shape, but you can see that the Sigma one is much more tightly packed in there. I didn’t think there would be SUCH a huge difference in quality, but I was very surprised at the results when I compared them side by side… Now that I’m more well-versed, it’s nice to have a more high quality set to use instead. But this was when I was first getting into all things makeup and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on brushes I didn’t know I would like and probably didn’t even know how to use. Like…look how apparent this is that it’s clearly copying Sigma here haha. A few years ago I bought a set of similar brushes on Amazon that is an OBVIOUS knock-off of this set of Sigma brushes. I like to apply it directly to the brush and then to my face – it looks so pretty and provides just the right amount of product!!Īfter my initial review, something else I was really interested in was comparing them to another set of brushes I already owned. I use this one to apply and blend out my cream highlight products, specifically the Fenty Match Stix again. This one is for applying “cream and liquid foundations onto the harder to reach contours of the face” – honestly at this point you can probably tell that all these brushes can essentially be used for the same thing haha. ![]() Finally we have F88, the flat angled top brush. ![]()
