Sigma Brushes Love

8/18/2015

First Blog post...What do you really talk about? 

Picture
This is no secret to anybody that Sigma brushes are one of the best makeup brushes on the market comparable to MAC in quality but definitely attracting with the price point that is so much more affordable to freelance makeup artists, like myself, around the world. YouTube beauty gurus did a pretty in depth reviews on them, which truly helped me to select the best of the best brushes that work amazing and are highly reached out by me for personal use as well as professional. Without further due, I would like to show you my Sigma collection and introduce you to my top 10 Face & Eye brushes.   

1. F80 Kabuki Brush
Picture
Infamous F80 is the most highly raved about tool for a reason... This baby will make your foundation look beautifully blended and airbrushed without leaving any streaks. So far haven't found a foundation brush that is equally amazing or better.   As a side note, I did end up caving to the sister brush 3DHD Kabuki and I must say F80  is definitely the way to go.
2. F86 Tapered Kabuki
Picture
I died and went to heaven....Where has this brush been all my life? It makes any cream based product blend extraordinarily, whether it's a concealer or cream contouring. This is a staple in my morning concealer routine. One thing I will say Beauty Blender sponge is my back up for concealer buffer in case when my F86 is dirty. 
3. F84 Angled Kabuki
Picture
I came across this brush when I was looking for a bronzing/contouring brush for my soleil tan de chanel cream bronzer. I thought it would give me a very soft application for every day wear. It met all of my expectations applying my beloved cream bronzer in the most subtle yet sharp way. I don't reach out for it every day as I do not use cream bronzing/contouring on daily basis, but when I do it is one brush I truly reach out for.      
4. F25 Tapered Face
Picture
Besides the fact that this brush feels absolutely amazing when it touches your face with it's soft bristles this is such a universal magic wand. I've done powder contouring and highlighting with it, I've applied blush with it,  all over face powder and yes yes even dipped it into translucent powder to set the concealer. This brush is AMAZING!
5. F35 Tapered Highlighter 
Picture
This little baby sister of F25 brush is my everyday favorite. Shimmers have always been one of my favorite makeup products and ever since Jaclyn Hill came out with her infamous Becca Champagne Pop I've been wearing it every single day and oh boy this brush deposits just the right amount of product on my skin. I also love using this brush to set my under eye concealer and blush as it gives much more precise application than big sister F25. 
6. E40 Tapered Blending
Picture
This is one brush I could never live without. I can practically do my entire eye makeup with just this one brush especially if I am on a crunch time. It is a dupe for MAC 224 brush which I also love, but I feel like Sigma gives me much more blended effect without chopping up eye shadows and saves me more blending time if you know what I mean. 
7. E48 Pointed Crease
Picture
I feel like this brush is not getting enough love on social media. Yes it might be for more advanced makeup users, but oh boy this brush is a true genius when it comes to creating a perfectly diffused cut crease. It is supper soft but dense which allows a great control over application.
8. E30 Pencil
Picture
This type of brush is a definite staple in my brush collection. It is absolutely identical to MAC 219 and I love them both equally for that reason. Sigma hands down is a cheaper alternative with the same quality. This brush is perfect for outer corner definition, diffusing bottom lash line, creating precise cut crease...you name it.
9. E45 Small Tapered Blending
Picture
This bad boy is a fantastic outer corner crease brush as well as many other versatile things. It works beautifully when applying darker shades keeping them precise and on point. Also since it is in a Tapered Brush family I feel like this brush works very well as a highlighter brush in the smaller areas of the face such as bridge of the nose and brow bone. My latest discovery of this brush was a pretty wicked contouring that I've done on myself with Anastasia Contouring Kit. 
10. E32 Exact Blend
Picture
I wouldn't say this brush is something I reach for on daily basis but when I do it is for applying pigments...yes pigments! I wet it generously with Fix+ and dip it into pigment packing it onto the lid. The result is mesmerizing. Despite of what the name suggests I don't think I've ever enjoyed this brush as a blending one. But let's not be fooled out here, we do not always use our tools for their direct purpose, this is just the part of fun where you learn to use brushes and cater their functions to your own convenience. 
Please note that all of these brushes have been generously used for over a year now, therefore my opinion of them is based on a very extensive use and by no means is sponsored by Sigma :)
Thank you for checking out my post. Please write a comment if you found this review helpful or if you have any questions. Until next time!

I'm not an expert when it comes to make up products, but I've encountered the term "Kabuki brushes" every once in a while by makeup artists and enthusiast. I heard that Kabuki brushes with real fibers are better than synthetic ones because it holds more powder and has a more flawless finish. By the looks of it, Kabuki brushes are the perfect pair of smooth and flawless blending, right? It seems like Kabuki brushes are a real make up essentials and are worth their prices.
