Ok, so if you've been watching my latest videos you know I've been RAVING about my new Sigma Beauty brushes. After months and months and months of contemplating purchasing these brushes I finally took the plunge---and let me tell you----I couldn't be happier! I have always heard that makeup application is all in the brush and if you need proof just get an Instagram account and follow Vegas_Nay, because she has created some of the most beautiful looks using E.L.F. palettes! See there...all in the brushes.
So, after months of putting the Essential Brush Kit in my shopping cart...and leaving it there... I came across a 10% off coupon and was like YOLO!
The kit comes with 12 brushes total- 4 large face brushes and 8 eye brushes. It retails for $98, which seems like a lot but if you do the breakdown that is about $8 a brush! SUPER cheap- if you know anything about makeup, you know that brushes can be very expensive. Not to mention the quality of these brushes are of high-end caliber. So, YES, very AFFORDABLE my pretties!
The face brushes that are included are the
Large Powder (F30),
Duo Fiber (F50),
Large Angled Contour (F40), and
Foundation (F60)
Out of the face brushes I love....all of them..seriously. I haven't used the foundation brush and the duo fiber brush as much because I hardly ever wear foundation and during the summer I only wear BB Cream when I am going out lately.
I have been using the powder brush everyday to apply my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish (which I use to set my concealer and to give a little coverage on my bare face) and the contour brush to apply my blush. Ok, I guess I can say that the large contour brush is my favorite because it is PERFECT for applying blush!
All of the face brushes are soft and dense and I haven't experienced any shedding with any of them!! LOVE IT!!
The eye brushes included in the kit are the
Eye Shading (E55),
Medium Angled Shading (E70),
Tapered Blending (E40),
Concealer (F70) -technically a face brush but ya know,
Large Shader (E60),
Pencil (E30),
Small Angle (E65), and
Eyeliner (E05).
I really like the eye brushes too! I think the large shader brush is a little big for my small eyes but I think it's great for variety and when I am doing my friend's makeup!
The standout eye brushes are the tapered blending, the pencil, and the eyeliner! And you're probably saying DUH right now, because I have talked about them constantly since I've purchased them but they are my go to brushes everyday! I have seen a little bit of shedding with the tapered blending after I washed it, but nothing significant and nothing that is going to stop me from purchasing some extras for my makeup kit.
NOW for the best part of this whole review!
Sigma is offering 10% off this month if you use the code
