Sigma Sigmax Synthetic Essential Kit Review



I absolutely love Sigma brushes I already own their regular line essential kit which I've owned for close to a year now and I use them almost every single day. What I really love about Sigma brushes is the value and quality you get; while I love my MAC brushes they can be pricey so I feel that Sigma’s brushes hold up really well in comparison and the price of their kits is reasonable.
The first thing I noticed about these brushes were the holographic logos which made me love them even more, haha and the handles are also much smoother than my other brushes.
What I really like about these brushes is that they are really dense which makes blending and buffing product into the skin effortless, they are also super soft and so far I haven’t experienced any issues with shedding. The only downside is the fact that they so dense the cleaning and dry time takes a bit longer than normal.

Round Kabuki – F82 “Perfect to comfortably apply liquid and cream foundation on curved areas of the face, specifically around the eyes and nose, on the chin and the jaw line. This brush can also be used for all over application of mineral foundation.”

Flat Kabuki – F80 “Ideal for all over application of liquid and cream formulas in large and mostly flat areas of the face, such as the forehead, temples and cheeks. This brush is perfect to seamlessly buff foundation onto the skin.”

Angled Kabuki – F84 “The angled shape of the brush eases the application and blending of cream blushes onto the cheeks. It can also be used to apply and blend contour shades on the hair line, cheek bones and jaw line.”

Tapered Kabuki – F86 “The tapered shape effortlessly applies products on defined and hard to reach areas of the face. This brush is perfect for all over application of powder, cream, and liquid formulas. It is also ideal for all over primer application, contouring and highlighting."

Precision Angled – P84 “The small angled top makes this brush perfect for precise contouring on the sides of the nose and contouring the hollows of the cheek bones. It can also be used to highlight the brow bone.”

Precision Round – P82 “The rounded top was designed to mimic your fingertips, making this brush ideal to apply eye shadow primers. It can also be used for the precise application of highlight shades on the bridge of the nose, cheek bones and cupids bow.”

Precision Flat – P80 “The small, dense and flat top is ideal to conceal blemishes, sun spots, and small imperfections on the skin. It can be used to stipple concealer on defined areas, followed by precise application of setting powder.”

Precision Tapered – P86 “The tapered shape of this brush is ideal for application of concealer under the eyes and on defined areas such as the sides of the nose, chin and around the mouth. This brush can also be used to perfectly apply concealer around the lips to prevent color bleeding.”
