OK thanks I seen they were pretty cheap and was kinda thinking they were too cheap, thanks for the input you saved me some money and timeIMO, they're good, but not necessarily great, if that makes sense. The one I would recommend above most of the others is the F80.
Yes thats the point I'm at, I'd rather spend more money on something that's better quality and last longer. My makeup brushes always lose their hairs which really get annoying when your trying to do your makeup. what MAC brushes do you like?I personally feel like some drugstore brushes are better and some are cheaper than Sigma brushes. Also I don't feel like Sigma brushes last a long time which doesn't justify the price in some cases.
My poor F80 brush died about a month ago. After a year of consistent use and washing the hairs were coming out and finally the metal handle thing disconnected. I did love that brush just wish the quality was better.
I'd rather invest in a MAC brush because at least I know I'll get years of use even if the brush is quite pricey.

Heh. I bought mine almost two years ago and it's still fully in tact. OTOH, I don't wear makeup every day and I don't use it as much as I have done in the past, mainly because I'm using a foundation that (IMO, at least) is better applied with fingers. The other Sigma ones I have are F05 (it's not scratchy now after having been washed/used several times, but it's not what I'd call extremely soft, either), F40, F60 (ferrule came loose after about a month; I later bought a Studio Tools brush from Target that I prefer), P82 (I do like this one as well; use it mainly for concealer, but not all the time), E25 (fluffier, softer, longer bristles than the 217; I also have a short-handle/travel size version), E30 (has a bit more give than I'd like it to have, but good for smudging liner. Is the 219 more resilient?), E45 (not bad, but I prefer my Louise Young LY38), and E55 (another okay one, but I prefer the 239 for packing on colour). MAC-wise, I own 116 (I've been using this for contouring), 217 (a favourite), 226 (like it, prefer LY38), 239 (love!).My poor F80 brush died about a month ago.
