Make Me Blush Coral Brush Kit, Powder\/Blush Brush F10 and Angled Top Kabuki Brush F84"},"content":{"rendered":"

I’ve had quite a few emails asking me about Sigma Brushes<\/strong> and if they were good or if they were comparable to MAC brushes (I can’t compare as I only own 1) and in the end, I capitulated and after a bit of research, ordered a couple of face brushes from Sigma Makeup – a powder\/blush brush (F10), and an angled top kabuki brush (F86).<\/p>\n

Then, as luck would have it, after my order had shipped, Sigma contacted me to offer me to try their 12 Brush Make Me Blush Brush kit.<\/p>\n

I’ve been playing around with the brushes for a couple of weeks now (you’d be surprised at just how long it might take to try every single little brush there :P) and I couldn’t dig right in because I’m anal about washing my brushes before I use them for the first time<\/a>. So what I’ll do in this post is to run you a quick low down on the brushes, what I think and which ones I personally like and recommend.<\/p>\n

It might be long so grab a cuppa tea and settle in for a read. Alrighty then? Here we go! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Sigma 12 Brush Make Me Blush Brush Kit – US$99<\/h3>\n

Do you already have a set of good makeup brushes? Good. Then you don’t need this one. There, honesty is the best policy. However, if you don’t already have a set of makeup brushes, then these are worth considering, because you get a set of relatively good brushes in one handy kit. Full sized too, in a ready made brush container that sits quite prettily on your dressing table \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The brushes come in a very sturdy tube case that locks together with buttons on the side. Unbutton it, and it splits into 2 perfectly useable brush holders as you see in the picture above. Its quite heavy too so it won’t topple over.<\/p>\n

The Make Me Blush Brush Kit comes with 12 brushes and in 4 colours – Coral (pictured here), Purple, Black and Aqua (turquoise). The handles and metal ferrule of the brushes are colour coded to that of the brush holder which is sort of cute.<\/p>\n

The brushes are all full sized long handled brushes as you can see here. They are also a mix of synthetic and natural bristles (I’m not sure what hair is used – best to check directly with Sigma if you are curious) Quickly, here are my thoughts on each brush so you can evaluate if you need the whole kit or just the individual ones.<\/p>\n
