NEW! Sigma SigMAX brushes

It doesn’t just take good quality makeup to give you that flawless effect- it takes high precision brushes like Sigma’s NEW SigMAX line of Precision brushes!

The NEW Synthetic Precision Kit by Sigma gives you the most ‘precise’ application just like the name says. 

The size of all the brushes allow you to apply makeup to every contour of your face, making sure that no section is missed. The Sigma Precision brushes are designed to “mimic your fingertips”, but give you an even softer and easier application that using your fingers could ever give you- they also keep your hands clean!

Here are the brushes that I received that are included in the Synthetic Precision Kit by Sigma:

Precision Flat P80

This brush reminds me of the Flat Kabuki- F80, just the smaller version for a more precise application. I found that I love to use it most for concealing little spots on my face. The size of the brush does a great job of buffing the concealer into your skin, leaving no streaks.  

Precision Round P82

This brush is probably the most unique of all the brushes. The small rounded edge feels just like my fingertip making it perfect  for blending in eye shadow primers and cream bases without getting my actual fingers dirty! The rounded edge also gives me a great application for a highlight in the inner corner of my eye!

Another one of my favourites, the Precision Angled P84 brush is great for precise contouring. The size of the brush is perfect because it really allows me to contour my nose in just the areas I need. Using a large brush to contour my nose wouldn’t give me the same effect as it would cover too much surface area and make my whole nose look like it was bronzed. I also love this brush for highlighting the bridge of my nose because it glides right along the top. It also works perfect for highlighting the very tops of my cheekbones without having the whole apple of my cheek look like a shiny mess.

Precision Tapered P86

The point of the Precision Tapered P86 is so efficient because it goes around every contour of my nose lips, eyes- you name it! I use the P86 for applying concealer around the crevices of my nose, and even around my lips to make them look fuller. I have tried using this brush as an eyeshadow crease brush and have to say it works amazing for that too!
You can buy these great Precision Brushes individually for a great steal- $14 each, or get a bargain by purchasing the whole set for only $49!

Sigma has also come out with an addition to their line of the Synthetic Kabuki Kit.

The NEW Tapered Kabuki F86 has many beneficial uses. I have grown to love it for not only applying foundation to my face as it reaches everywhere, but it is really ideal for contouring the hollows of my cheeks to give me more definition.
You can get this brush for $16 or grab the whole set of Synthetic Kabuki brushes in the kit for $56! http://www.sigmabeauty.com/Synthetic_Kabuki_Kit_p/smax04.htm?Click=6384
