Here are the the photos and the product descriptions of each brushes and my thoughts about them:
I find this brush quite too small to conceal my under my eye area, cause I get used to using my Sigma P82 on concealing the imperfections on my face especially underneath my eyes. I use this as a cream shadow applicator instead or concealing small dark spots on my face.
One of my favorite brush from the set.I use this for smudging the pencil liner both on my upper and lower lash line. It helps me to apply color on the crease and the outer corner of my eyes for creating smokey eye look too.
This brush is best to apply with gel liners.It helps me to achieve a precise winged line evenly.
This brush is multi -functional. I used it for applying highlight shades underneath my eyebrow. I have tried it using also to apply and blend the dark shades on my crease . Great to use for contouring my nose as well. Happy face for this:)
Eye Shading E55-Soft and dense with a rounded finish.Can be used to apply pressed or loose eye shadows and pigments.Ideal to build intense color on the eyelid.Natural bristles
I haven't tried it yet on loose powders but it works pretty well on applying pressed shadows.
Small Angle E65- Essential for the application of gel or cream eyeliner on the upper and lower lash line. This brush is also excellent for filling out the eyebrows. Synthetic bristles.
I have tried it using both for filling out my eyebrows and applying my gel liners on the upper and lower lash line and works like heaven! I'm impressed with the performance of this little brush. It delivers a flawless and precise application both for my eyebrows and upper & lower lash line
I love the versatility use of this brush. Can be use for liquid foundation, highlight shades, apply blush and loose pigments. However, I prefer to use this more to apply my loose powder , my blush and highlighting. I'm contented and so happy to use my
Round Kabuki F82 for applying my liquid foundation. But I've heard some raves from other beauty buddies that it gives you a nice air brushed look as well when use as a foundation applicator. Hmm might try it next time;)
Hmm, honestly, I'm not much happy with this brush, yes it's really dense but it sheds a bit. I have first noticed it on the first time that I've washed it. But the more I use it, shedding issues has toned down . Probably because its overly dense and it was an excess of the hair bristles. It works both for loose or pressed powders.
This is nice, works well on contouring and applying blush as well. The shedding issue is minimal but does the job pretty well.
Since I have my F82 for applying my liquid foundation, I used this brush as a concealer instead. I might try in applying foundation as well . It's soft and made of synthetic bristles.
Large Shader E60- Flat shape is ideal for application of cream formulas and eye shadow primers.It also works great with loose eye shadows or pigments. Can be used to apply color all over the lid or precisely on the lash line.Natural bristles.
Hmm, best to use as an eye shadow primer I 'd say. Haven't tried using in loose pigments though but I think it' ll be great to use for that cause it's quite large and dense perfect to hold the pigments to pat onto the eyelids.
This brush is too big for my eyes to use for blending color on my crease. So I'd rather use this to apply highlighters on my cheeks, brow bones and nose bridge. No shedding experience with it so :)I am using by the way either my MAC 217 or Sigma E25 for blending the colors on my crease.And it works both pretty well.
MY OVERALL THOUGHTS:
It took me quite some time to decide which sets I would get from this collection at first. I prefer to choose the Synthetic bristles ones at first cause I know Synthethic ones are much softer than the natural bristles ones, but when it comes to picking up the powder color performance , natural bristles are more good on that based from what I've read from other's reviews about the difference of the two. While the synthetic ones are good to use for liquid or cream types . And I really vouch on that cause I've been using my
synthetic kabuki kits for quite a long time and I'm so in love with it. Super soft and creates a really flawless application.
So far, yes I'm enjoying using this tool kit. Its really an essential kit you must have especially if you are a makeup beginner. The individual brushes has its own use and helps you to create your desire look effortlessly. My favorite from this kit includes the E65, E30, E60, E55, E70, F40, F50 F60 and the E05. I love the canister, it allows you to place the brushes separately and you can actually bring it along with you when you travel without deforming the shape of it. It may be quite steep if you're on a tight budget, but if you will try to do the maths, you'll get 12pcs of the brush plus a canister, not bad at all. And yes most importantly the quality of it is worth it. This will probably lasted for years if given a proper care.
You can get this brush kit from Sigma's website for $109. Sigma has a monthly 10% coupon code as well which I love. If you're planning to purchase this month, dont forget to use the code SB2012 to redeem your 10% Off when you check out. They also includes FREE GIFT when you purchase $30 or above.
