Sigma Brushes | Are they worth the hype?

February 13, 2015

Hello ladies,

So I’m sure a lot of you know about the make-up brush brand Sigma Beauty, if you watch YouTube videos you have probably seen everyone and their mother using these brushes.

Curiosity got the better of me and I ordered some, I was a little bit shocked at the prices, they range from €20 all the way up to €500 for there single brushes and sets. €500 for a brush set? No way was I paying that! So I looked in their travel section and found this little cute set called the Mrs Bunny Travel Kit. On the website it was priced at $86.00 so roughly around €76.00. So I added that to my cart, then on top of that shipping was €20. Before I even got to see the brushes I had already spent €96.00.

It took about two weeks for them to arrive but when they did I got a shock, the post man told me I owed another €20 for custom charge bringing my total to €116.00 for this set that I still hadn’t gotten to see in person yet.


When I finally got to open the box there was 7 brushes in it:

  • E30 – Pencil: Soften and smoke out lines. Soften pencil liners along the top and bottom lash lines, add shadow to line the eyes, or use to highlight inner corner of eyes.
  • E40 – Tapered Blending: Soft blended crease. Using just the tips to apply color, sweep back and forth through the crease for a diffused and blended finish.
  • E55 – Eye Shading: Even application of color. Place color across the whole lid for an even and strong application of product.
  • E65 – Small Angle: Create precise lining. Moves fluidly and easily across the upper and lower lash lines. Use with gel, cream or powder liners.
  • F30 – Large Powder: Even powder application. Uniform blending of powder products onto the face and body.
  • F40 – Large Angled Contour: Subtle cheek application. Use the angle to softly contour the cheekbone. Can also be used to apply blush.
  • F60 – Foundation: Smooth foundation application. Apply liquid or cream products such as foundation and primer.

They were a relatively okay size considering they are travel brushes, they came in a travel case that held all the brushes together. 
The brushes themselves weren’t overly exciting, yes they were soft but no different to Real Technique brushes, which are less than half the price of these. 


I do find I wasted my money as the only two brushes that get the most use is the E40 and the F40 brush, I usually just reach for my Real Technique brushes daily.

So in my opinion I don’t particularly think Sigma are worth the hype, maybe they would be if I lived in America and I didn’t have to pay so much to receive them. 
Don’t get me wrong they feel great but so do many other brushes that are half there price. If I ever do purchase Sigma again, I’ll order from Cloud10Beauty which have free shipping on orders over €50. But unfortunately I didn’t know about them until after I placed my order on Sigma Beauty.

That being said I do feel that their E40 brush is a staple in my collection.

I am in no way trying to bash Sigma or any of their products in this post. I just sharing my experience with them and what I personally think.
Have you tried Sigma?

Lockdown 3.0 has probably been my most reflective Lockdown 3.0 has probably been my most reflective so far. I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on what it is that I want to achieve in this coming year, I’ve upped my self care game which is often a struggle when my mental health takes a turn. I’ve spent hours just reading, something I’d never usually do. 
✨
Taking the last three weeks since the start of the year to really get to know myself. And  learning each day to love myself whilst improving myself 🥰 
✨
 I can’t wait to see where this year takes me. I’m so ready for new challenges, self love & happiness 💛
