My New Sigma Brushes!!!!

Hey Readers, 

Hope this post finds you well!!! If you saw my June Bellabox post you would know I received a much sort after Sigma E25 Blending brush in that post I also admitted that the only reason I'd never bought any sigma brushes was that I could never decide on what I really wanted without it ending up costing me a fortune!!! Well I have finally made the decision two things prompted me in the end. One was seeing a makeup tutorial of an eye look that I wanted to recreate and I realised I didn't even have similar brushes to complete the look and when I went on their website realising that they were running a 20% off code!!! Given I'd found this and the promotion was nearly over I had to come up with a way of figuring out how to choose what brushes I wanted!! My thoughts were to just go with a kit and thinking the travel one to start given I do travel with my makeup and brushes more than I do my makeup at home. 

But there were brushes in the kits that I knew I just wouldn't use and I didn't want to spend on brushes I wasn't going to take out of the packaging. So I went through each category and chose the brushes that I most wanted it did start to get expensive and with that in mind I did take a few out but overall I chose the ones that I feel will get the most use!!! 

Face Brushes

F88-Flat Angled Kabuki
Aptly named this is a flat topped angled kabuki and I had seen this when Sigma first realeased it and had looked at it over and over thinking it would be the perfect foundation brush for me. The description says that it is perfect for blending cream product  seamlessly onto hard to reach areas working especially well for the cheeks and contours of the nose. I have always found it hard to get foundation perfect around my nose and my lips so thought this would be the perfect. The bristles on this brush are quite dense but are still soft to touch and on the face cannot wait to give it a try.

F15-Duo Fibre Powder and Blush 

I bought this one as I often really enjoy brushes that have multiple uses again travelling a lot I don't have  heaps of room to spare in my bag so its handy to have brushes that lend themselves to multi tasks. This can be used for powder including mineral products as well as blush not sure were it will fall for me I originally thought for powder touch ups but its a better size then my other blush brush so it may get use there too!!!

F05-Small Contour.

I picked this up as I wanted a more rounded top contour brush it seems all the ones I've looked at lately are quite flat and I really don't like the finish that those brushes give. I also got the small size as I thought it would make a good highlighting brush as well.

Synthetic Precision Kit(P80-Precision Flat,P82-Precision Round,P84-Precision Angled,P86-Pecision Tapered,P88-Pecision Flat Angled.) 

This kit contains 5 brushes which are all mini versions of the foundation brushes Sigma has to offer. These are all synthetic brushes which sigma developed to mimic the fingertips giving you the ability to apply product to the most sensitive and precise areas. They can apply powder, cream and liquid product. Originally I just wanted the P88 so I had the mini version of my foundation brush which I thought would be good for concealer. I then read that the P82 which is the round is good for cream eye shadow and primer and looking at the angled version I thought would possibly be good for cream and liquid highlight. It was at that point I thought it worth buying the kit. I'm interested to see how they apply product and whether they do as well as fingertips!!

Eye Brushes.

I actually don't own that many decent eye shadow brushes up until this point I have made do with an odd assortment of brushes I have acquired over time to replicate looks from youtube and beauty bloggers. I always really wanted a good quality matching set and while I chose these brushes individually they still all match bonus!!

E55-Eye Shading

This is a general all purpose eye shadow application brush its short dense bristles mean that you can pack on and blend shadow all over the lid. 

E20-Short Shader

This is small shadow brush about half the height of the E55 and is designed for putting colour under the lash line and applying colour to the outer lid.

E25-Blending 

I know I already own this one but the amount of times I've used my other one to put colour in the crease and then need a clean brush to blend I thought having two would be handy!!!























E47-Shader Crease.

This is a looks like a rather thin blending brush with a slight point at the end I find it hard to get a really defined crease and this makes it easy to place colour directly I also think it may be good for putting colour in the outer V.

E21-Smudge

The name says it all its a small dense bristled brush and I got this as I often wish to soften the liner on my lash line I also feel it could be great for inner corner highlight.

E30-Pencil

Iv'e seen this used so much in youtube tutorials and always thought it would be handy to have. Its dense tapered brush that is soft so it can be used to place colour in the outer corner, blend and smudge colour on the upper or lower lashes and add highlight to the inner corner.

The shipping from Sigma was a little on the expensive side but they were delivered to my door within two weeks despite the information saying four to six. Overall I am extremely happy with my choices and cannot wait to give them all a try!!!

Until next time happy reading and happy shopping
Ever.
