The 12 piece Sigma Professional Brush Set is designed to be of the highest quality to give you all the equipment you need to get a perfectly flawless look. This comes with a protective synthetic/leather look case to store brushes, it is handy for traveling.
All the brushes in the kit are made from natural or synthetic bristles, sometimes even a mix of the two. The handles are black and have a silver metal tip to hold the bristles in place, so they should be pretty sturdy even when cleaning.
Sigma have also included a free gift with this set, you should get a SS217 eyeshadow brush with the kit.
The Kit Includes:
- SS150 Large Powder Brush.(for applying powder to face and body).
- SS190 Foundation Brush (suitable for liquid or cream foundation).
- SS187 Large duo fiber brush (should leave skin with the airbrushed look after applying liquid foundation).
- SS168 Large angled brush (Ideal for applying blush or contour shades).
- SS194 Concealer brush (ideal for concealing imperfections under the eyes).
- SS275 Small angled brush (used to apply highlights under the brows and the inner corners of the eyes).
- SS266 Angled eyeliner brush (to apply liquid or gel eyeliner to the upper or lower lash lines).
- SS252 Large shader brush (ideal for creams and eyeshadow primers).
- SS219 Pencil brush (to apply color to the crease of the eye lid, outer corner and upper and lower lash line).
- SS224 Blending brush (ideal for blending colors on the crease of the eye lid).
- SS209 Liner brush (a firm brush to apply precise lines to the eyes).
- SS239 Medium Shader brush (ideal for applying loose or pressed eyeshadow to the lids).
Users Conclusions
I have compiled the lists below from the users reviews on amazon:
Pros
- Good quality
- No loose bristles
- Soft
- Great value for money
Cons
- Some bristles do fall out of the bigger brushes (according to a couple of users)
To Sum Up
The majority of users relished the Sigma brush set, even comparing it to "Mac" brushes. They love the high quality they received for the reasonable price of $89 for the 12 piece set.
A couple of ladies using the bigger foundation brushes said they experienced some bristle fall out but nothing too major.
I think these are worth investing in if you have enough to spare in your budget, you get a full quality set of brushes for a cheaper price than you would pay if you brought them all separately.

Bare Escentuals Angled Brow Brush is designed for the use of bareMinerals brow color. This arched brush should make it quick and easy to fill brows, leaving them looking natural. It is made from a blend of Taklon fibers and goat hair.
Stila #28 Smudge Pot Brush is a thin brush that is used to apply a thin line along the lash line, while the other end is a bigger brush used to smudge to create a smokey eye. Stila says this brush is designed to be used with Stila's smudge pots, but you can use it for any product really.
Colorescience Foundation Brush has a built SPF 20 and it offers refills in 11 different shades. This sounds like a good product. I like the fact it has a built in SPF, this is very important for protecting your skin against sun damage.
