Sigma Brushes

Last Black Friday, I took advantage of ordering from Sigma since they have FREE SHIPPING WORLD WIDE promo for that day only. I know, I know, I totally forgot about the tax and all but it's worth-it. I am at peace to know that the brushes I got are authentic and straight from Sigma itself. Good thing I got a coupon code for Free First-Class Mail from MissChievous, a british makeup guru in Youtube so I got my brushes with-in 2 weeks.

Sigma Synthetic Kabuki Kit
I've been eyeing on these brushes for soooo long and I was even tempted to buy it from a local retailer. Good  thing I didn't because I really wanted to buy it straight from Sigma.

So the kit comes with 4 different Kabuki type brushes.

F80 - Flat Kabuki
This can be use to apply your primer and any cream base formula targeting the flat areas of the face like forehead and cheeks. The bristles of the brushes are really compact for easy and even application.

F82 - Round Kabuki
This is the perfect brush to use in applying your liquid and cream foundations. It will help you cover easily the areas such as around the eyes and nose, chin and jawline.

F84 - Angled Kabuki
This brush is design to have an ease in applying and blending cream blushes and helps you to contour your face easily. 

F86 - Tapered Kabuki
 This brush is specially design for those hard to reach areas of the face. It is also design for all over application of powder but I think its good for contouring as well.

Some simple comparison with other brushes:
Flat Top Brush
(From left to right: ELF Powder Brush, Flat top brush from Landmark, F80 Flat Kabuki from Sigma)
Looking at the picture, the brushes of F82 from Sigma is more dense compare to the other two.

Obviously, the Sigma F82 is more dense compare to my Marionnaud but I still love my Marionnaud blush brush.

Sigma Synthetic Precision Brushes
These brushes are actually design like your finger tips

These brushes are like small versions of the synthetic kabuki brushes

P80 - Precision Flat
This brushes is design to help you conceal blemishes, dark spots and small imperfections on the skin. Once done concealing, use this brush to set it with powder too.


P84 - Precision Round
This brush is design to mimic your fingertips. This is perfect to use when applying primer and eyeshadows  in your lids. This can also be use to precisely apply highlights in your browbone and in the bridge of the nose.

P84 - Precision Angled
This brush is perfect to use when contouring the sides of your nose and precisely defining the hallows of your cheeks.

P86 - Precision Tappered
This brush is design to help you when applying concealer under the eyes and for precise definition of some areas in the face like the sides of your nose, chin and around the month(for color bleeding)

I love all these brushes and I don't regret buying them all. In addition to this, Sigma gave me another brush as a gift.
This is a blending brush which you will get as a free if you purchase items from their site about $70.
Sigma E25 Blending Brush
I like this brush as well because it's soooo soft!
