About the Brush Kit

This is what Sigma has to say about the brush kit:

The Synthetic Face Kit contains three face brushes for high definition, flawless makeup application. The brushes in this collection feature exclusive Synthetic filament, specially designed to apply powder and liquid products without absorption into the fibers. The shape, density and height of the filaments were carefully engineered to perfectly buff products onto the skin, resulting in a high definition effect.

I first got acquainted with Sigma last year when I was on the lookout for a well-sorted brush kit. I didn’t want to spend a fortune, so MAC was ruled out. The second best thing, so I heard and read, would have to be Sigma brushes and after doing some research on this then new-to-me brand I decided to give it a go. I ordered their Professional 12-piece Brush Kit for $99 and never looked back. I just love my Sigma brushes and would definitely buy from them again!

Then, a few months ago, I was offered the chance to get my hands on the Sigmax Synthetic Face Kit and of course I jumped at the chance. Just let me keep it short & sweet: these brushes are just as good as the Sigma brushes I already own (which means they’re really good!). They’re super soft and I love to put my foundation on with the F80 (Flat Top Kabuki) and now always use the F82 (Round Top Kabuki) for a precise blush application. Don’t trust my words? Then check out the many rave reviews on the Sigma website.

A Quick Note on mycharity: water

Right now, one billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in eight of us. On mycharity: water, you can run, bike, give up birthday presents or just raise money to fund water projects for communities in need. 100% of the money you raise will go directly to people in need and in 12-18 months, you’ll see proof of the projects built using photos and GPS. Get involved, too!

The goal of our mycharity: water project is it to raise $500 until the end of October. This will ensure 25 people having access to clean drinking water for the next 25 years! Join forces with us! Make a donation and increase your winning chances! Also, did we mention you get tons of good Karma by donating?
