I've heard a lot about this brand of brushes- are they better than the Sephora collection or MAC brushes?

What are your favorite brushes?

I started out with this kit (my mom got it for me for Christmas in 2010):
http://www.sigmabeauty.com/Complete_Kit_p/ck001.htm

I had some Smashbox and Sephora brushes prior and pretty much threw all of them out (except for my 2 fav Smashbox liner brushes). The Sigmas are top notch and so much nicer/softer/easier to clean.

Since I got the main kit I sold a few brushes that I dont use on Ebay (the large powder and the duo fibre brush) and added a few others (the synthetic P82 and F82 which are AMAZING).

I have also purchased some Real Techniques brushes from Ulta which I really like as well (the powder brush w/the gold handle and the blush brush with the pink handle). They are really soft.

I've never used any Sephora brand brushes, but I like them just as much as my MAC brushes, for half the price.

I have mostly Sigma eye and face brushes. They're easily as good as my MAC brushes, and much better than any Sephora brush I've tried. For the price, they really can't be beat.

I have a few Sigma brushes. The quality is as good as my Sephora professional and MAC brushes. My only complaint is that you can't buy them in stores and the shipping that the website or Amazon charges is a little obnoxious for such a small product. MakeupbyTiffanyD on Youtube always has a 10% off coupon but I still don't like paying so much to ship something.

Thanks for responding- what do you use P82 for? I read the description on the Sigma site and it says for "under eyes and around nose"?

I use this travel set because I'm a sucker for cute packaging and it also was a great price. It's actually on sale now for $49. For me, these are all the brushes that I need. I think they are also shorter than the regular brushes, and I prefer the shorter length. I've never used a MAC brush, but I definitely like them better than Sephora brushes I've used in the past.

I use the P82 to buff in concealer, and also to set the concealer with setting powder (very good for angles, like around the nose, under eye, etc.)

SwizzleStiX · April 2012

I bought this kit.

And I think I use just about every brush on a pretty regular basis.

HOWEVER.

This Sephora brush is a NECESSITY, truth. NO BRUSH COMES CLOSE TO THIS, EVER.

Also, I think Sigma brushes are good quality brushes for half the price of MAC, but I still prefer my MAC eye brushes, particularly the blending ones (217 and 286).

I'd rather have an entire set of MAC, but I don't have a money tree. Smile
