Brushes are key to creating any makeup look. As a professional, I gravitate toward brushes that are of high quality and do not fall apart easily. I absolutely dislike brushes where the handle comes off after one cleaning or the brush completely falls apart after a month. Brushes I typically use come from adesign, Billy b Beauty, or M.A.C Cosmetics
I was recently introduced to Sigma Makeup brushes. The company graciously sent me, for review, the Sigma Makeup Professional Brushes Complete Kit with Brush Roll and the Hollywood Glamour Kabuki Something About Marylin.
First impressions are lasting ones and Sigma made a great first impression! The brush set, neatly packed in the brush roll, looked inviting. The shapes of the face and eye brushes were those I am accustomed to using on a daily basis for clients. Upon testing, approximately one month, I experienced and continue to experience no problems with the durability of the brushes. These brushes earned a place In My Zuca!
Although I thoroughly enjoy all of the Sigma Makeup brushes, my favorites are:
- SS190 Foundation Brush – Applies and blends liquid or cream foundation seamlessly.
- SS187 Duo Fibre Brush- Perfect for setting your look as it does not disturb foundation as you apply powder.
- SS194 Concealer Brush – Great shape to get into the inner corner of eyes or dab concealer on a blemish.
- SS129 Pencil Brush – A necessity for blending a smokey eye line or defining a crease.
- SS209 Eyeliner Brush – Apply gel or liquid liner in a snap with this brush. I use it for the perfect dramatic winged eyeliner look.
Added bonus with Sigma Makeup brushes is the training video on how to clean and care for your brushes in addition to a host of videos on using their products to achieve a variety of looks. This is an added perk for the makeup novice!
Whether you are a beginner or a pro, I would recommend checking out Sigma Makeup brushes as they are durable, fantastic to use, and, best of all, THE PRICE IS RIGHT!
