Did you ever buy some expensive makeup only to be disappointed with the results? If it happened to you, it may not have been the make up which was to blame. It may have been the brushes you used.
Recently Sigma Makeup contacted me and asked if I was willing to review their makeup brushes. Willing? What fun I had!
I not only had a great time trying their brushes and falling in love all over again with my eye shadow, I developed an urge to shop for new makeup and experiment with new looks! Also, Sigma is letting me share the fun with you. Read this post to the end and learn how you can get a set of brushes from Sigma for FREE!
What made Sigma brushes special?
* They pick up the right amount of color and apply it exactly where (and how) I need it.
* They are soft and kind to the skin. My skin is sooo sensitive, but Sigma brushes treated me well. In the past, I had a couple bad experiences with brushes that were too tough and were not a pleasure to use. Sigma brushes were like butterfly kisses.
* Good brushes stay intact. Sigma brushes did well on shedding test, only the powder brush lost 2 bristles...
Sigma Makeup offers 2 sets of brushes: for eyes and face. First, I will review their set for face. Read the details on all the 5 brushes below.
What makes a great powder brush? Soft dense fluffy fibers combined with good powder pick-up ability! All of this applies to Sigma Powder Brush. SS150 applies powder evenly and makes it appear natural and almost invisible. The brush is big and feels nice in the hand. You can also use it to apply blush.
Love this brush! Even though the bristles are firm, the brush is extremely soft and mild to your skin! It has a tapered shape, is thick but flat and is perfect not only for all-over application but also to access and apply foundation on the narrow areas around nose, mouth and eyes. Applies and blends foundation (and concealer!) without streaks. You can build coverage up or blend out any lines with this brush easily.
Also referred to as a stippling brush. This brush features 2 length soft bristles and has a dual application. You can use it to apply liquid foundation or blush. I use it mainly for blush. SS187 Duo Fiber Brush picks up just the right amount of blush, distributes color evenly, buffs it in and diffuses the powder blush very nicely. The result looks very natural! I tried applying illuminating powder with it but, in my opinion, it is too fluffy for this.
This brush features angled shape and soft thick bristles. It is quite fluffy and due to this and porous goat fibers, it picks up color very well. You can use SS168 for contouring your face or to apply blush. This brush easily creates the right shadow in the right place and is great not only to apply but to blend and smooth out any seams.
This brush is flat, slightly tapered and has firm bristles which is great for precise application! Bristles are mild to the skin and do not scratch or tug. SS194 makes conceler glide smoothly and is great for under eyes application. Sigma Concealer Brush is also convenient for targeted coverage of certain skin imperfections (acne, scars) and expression lines.
I did a photo of me after testing Sigma brushes for face. Please, forgive me for not posting the "before photo". The difference is too striking :-(
Brushes in this set are mostly goat hair excluding SS190 and SS194 that are synthetic just as Foundation and Concealer brushes should be.
I am impressed with Sigma Makeup Brushes set for the face and think this set is a great value for the price. But right now you have a chance to get it for free in our GIVEAWAY! Sigma Makeup offers a free brush kit to one of you. That is right!! Hurry now and go to Sigma Makeup website check out their wonderful brushes and select between 2 kits: for face or for eyes.

Oh my goodness, I am soooo in need of this. I've been looking at makeup brushes forever now but just can't justify spending what little money we have on makeup brushes, we're just too broke at the moment.
I've become very fond of mineral makeup, have given up my liquid foundation altogether. Out of the two kits I really want the face kit.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway. You would absolutely make my month (it's my b-day month if that sways you any:) lol) if I would win this.

It's super!) Great review!
I could really use the face brushes!!)))
What a fantastic giveaway! I am someone who enjoys experimenting with makeup and creating new "looks" for myself and I have been wanting some professional quality brushes so I can blend and experiment with color more effectively! I would love to have the Face Kit as my first choice, but the Eye Brushes Kit is equally appealing so either would be amazing to incorporate into my beauty routine! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter and I also signed up to receive you updates via email! I am looking forward to receiving them.

I would choose the Face Kit (though it was hard to choose)!
i love them both, but i would have to choose the face kit! I'm mixed race and it's hard enough finding colors with my undertones in it, but make up is also really touchy for creating an even skin tone too! I think these brushes would be fabulous for trying to create that flawless look.:)
burotukunam@gmail.com
I could really use the face kit! Wonderful!
I would choose the Face kit.
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
Not sure my previous comment was a success...
Thank you for interesting information about brushes. I frequently made the make-up with my fingers. but i felt the difference when a professional helped me with the make-up. She used very nice brushes, so i'm really very eager to try myself to make wonderful make-up with nice brushes.
I would choose the face brushes.
thank you for such a nice idea.
