I really like this brush for applying liquid foundation. It is the perfect size so that it quickly blends out foundation. I haven't noticed it soaking up product (it is made with synthetic hairs). I just wish that Sigma was easily available to Canadians.. it gets expensive purchasing online and paying for shipping. I am looking for a cheaper alternative to this brush.

this is one of my favorite brushes. designed for creams, this sigmax brush in particular does a fantastic job of both buffing and blending. i do find that it can leave streaks though. i really love to use this for my powder foundation. it gives me fuller coverage and it feels like rubbing velvet over your face. i wouldn't repurchase the same brush -- i'd run over to target and pick up sonia kashuk's very equivalent dupe instead, because it's a couple dollars cheaper (especially considering shipping costs) and more convenient.
