Sigma Brushes Review!!

           Good day Sweeties! As a makeup guru , I need to invest on make-up tools to enhance my make-up application which are brushes! I have been looking for brushes that would satisfy my needs. I watch you tube videos everyday and I noticed that all of my favorite you tube makeup gurus use Sigma and MAC brushes. I was able to get the MAC ice parade duo fibre kit that which was a good buy. The kit i just mentioned were the first set of brushes I splurged on which made me happy. I tried to order Sigma Brushes online but i really think it would be a hassle to order, since i don't have credit cards plus I certainly don't want to use my debit cards for security purposes. I was in luck finding these Sigma Brushes on Facebook. YUNIQUE SHOP on  Facebook are selling them here in Cebu! :D  You wouldn't imagine how happy i was when i purchased them and  i was able to save on shipping fee. So i got the  SYNTHETIC KABUKI SET and THE FACE & EYES KIT. I got these babies earlier this month and decided to test them before posting them on my blog . Posted below are opinions and the list of brushes with their functions.

SYNTHETIC KABUKI SET:
  1. Flat Kabuki ( F80) - Ideal for all over application of liquid and cream formulas in large and most flat area of the face , such as the forehead , temples, and cheeks. This brush is perfect to seamlessly buff foundation onto the skin. I always use this brush to apply my liquid foundation because it really makes my application a lot easier and the best part of it it is really really smooth ..Sometimes i use this to apply my powder blushes.
  2. Round Kabuki (F82)-  Perfect to comfortably apply liquid and cream foundation on curved areas of the face, specifically around the eyes and nose , on the chin and the jaw line. This brush can also be used for all over application of mineral foundation.
  3. Angled Kabuki (F84)-  The angled shape of this brush eases the application and blending of cream blushes onto the cheeks . It can also be used to apply and blend contour shades on the hair line, cheek bones, and jaw line.
  4. Tapered Kabuki (F86)- The tapered shape effortlessly applies products on defined and hard to reach areas of the face . This brush is perfect for all over application of powder, cream, and liquid formulas .It is also ideal for all over primer application, contouring and highlighting.
