Love it!I purchased this brush when it first came out and didn't use it right away. I wasn't sure how I would use it. I have really high cheek bones so I don't Contour them. I decided to try it with blush, using it with the larger size up on top of my cheek bones. I dabbed the brush in the blush and then stipple it onto my cheek bones. It worked beautifully, not removing any of my foundation. I also use it to stipple highlighter above my cheek bones, brow bones, chin, etc and it is perfect. This brush is so well made and the price is outstanding for such a high quality brush. Highly recommend you get this brush, you will not be disappointed.

What are the differences between the F83 and the F57? They are both curved for contouring I believe. I want a brush for both cream/liquid and power for blushes and contour products
Asked by: sunshine state
Thank you for your question! The F83 brush in a rounded kabuki brush made with our SigMax fibers, while the F57 brush is a flatter brush made with our SigmaTech fibers. Both of these brushes will work with cream, liquid and powder products.

I want to ask if there is any specific way to use this brush? I can't use it with powdered blush very well, because the curve makes it hard to dip in the pallete. And when I do the blush, it gives too much color, making the makeup too harsh.
Asked by: Sunny
Due to the unique shape of this brush, it is typically best used for contour with cream product. To ensure an even application, a great technique is to first put the product on the back of your hand and evenly swirl the brush into the product. This will allow you to evenly load the brush with product without picking up excess makeup.

F83, F80 or 3D Kabuki? • Want natural looking coverage which I would call "medium" • Speed counts–want to do good job as quickly as poss. • Use liquid F. Current MUF HD • My skills are just OK. Please advise.

The soft duo-fiber bristles are best used when buffing or using stippling motions with liquid or cream products.

Hi. Is this new F83 brush a good brush for applying loose mineral foundation makeup? Thank you.
Asked by: Jodi
The F83 Curved Kabuki™ can certainly be used for applying loose minerals, however, we suggest the F82 - Round Kabuki the most as the shape allows you to buff in the minerals with ease!
