I have been asked a lot lately about brushes. Clients and friends have been inquiring about what brand to buy and which brushes to get. Everyone has their own personal preference, but when it comes to brushes, my holy grail is “Sigma”. These brushes are extremely high quality for a fraction of the price of other brands such as Mac.

Personally, Mac brushes are not for me. They cost an arm and a leg and they shed like crazy. I also find the density to be quite poor. Now don’t get me wrong, if you are in a bind and need a replacement brush, they will do just fine; but if you have time to order online and wait for them to arrive… Sigma all the way (Blush sells Sigma brushes here in Edmonton so you can save on shipping and wait time if you buy from us directly!).

Here is a list of Sigma brushes/kits that will give you all you need for your perfect makeup application.

– Essential Kit (Includes : •E05 – Eye Liner, E30 – Pencil, E40 – Tapered Blending, E55 – Eye Shading, E60 – Large Shader, E65 – Small Angle, E70 – Medium Angled Shading, F30 – Large Powder, F40 – Large Angled Contour, F50 – Duo Fibre, F60 – Foundation, F70 – Concealer) = $159.00 (USD)

– F80 – Flat Kabuki (best foundation brush ever) = $24.00 (USD)

– E25 – Blending = $16.00 (USD)

– E15 – Flat Definer = $16.00 (USD)

– E75 – Angled Brow = $16.00 (USD)

Total Price = $231.00 (USD)

Comparable brushes by Mac would cost = $414.00 (USD)

Sigma does not list their prices in Canadian dollars so that is why I compared the two in US funds. Remember to be mindful of the exchange rate and shipping costs. However, even with those additional costs considered, it would still not come close to the cost of Mac and the quality is much better.

I hope this helps you out, makeup lovers! xo
