Before I go into it though I will just have to put a little disclaimer out there that the majority of these brushes where bought for me by my husband as Christmas or Birthday presents and the rest of them I purchased myself, apart from one that I randomly received in the post a few months back that I have no idea where it came from, but after doing some research it looks like it could be a fake brush that a company in China has sent me for free just so that they can do a fake review in my name, after seeing a discussion in a Beauty Group on Facebook regarding people getting sent random things this could be a possibility of where it came from, but I have no idea.
I will just also add I can only comment on brushes that I have used so far, my collection is always growing and I will also add at the end brushes that I would like to try out.
My First brushes:
The first brushes that I tried were the Sigma brushes I purchased them online a few years back, I had seen that a lot of YouTubers raving about them, so I asked for them as a Christmas present along side a cleaning glove (pictured below). It was a while ago so I can't totally remember which set I got I know that it costs around £70 and then I had to pay a further £23 to be able to pick them up from postoffice which was a customs/handling charge I believe, it was my first time buying anything from America so I didn't realise this would happen but they still worked out cheaper than buying Mac or a higher end brand. But what I do know is that I purchased a beginners Eye set and a Foundation brush.
I will list them all below with a little review and explanation of how/what I use them for:
 |
| Sigma Duo Fibre - F50 This was for a long time my Favourite Brush to apply my foundation and I will still reach for it, if my current favourite is dirty, but it does apply liquid foundation seamlessly and evenly and gives a light but natural cover. But I do feel that you do have a do quite a bit of blending to get an even finish. £20.00 / $27.00 |
 |
| This is the Basic Eye Kit That I purchased £61.50 / $77.00 |
 |
| Sigma Tapered Blending - E40 I do love this brush and I use it normally clean of product to blend the eyeshadow that I have already placed on the outer corner of my eye or through my crease, I find this blends its out beautifully especially the more light handed you are the better. £12.50 / $17.00 |
 |
| Sigma Eyeliner - E05 I haven't quite mastered using this type of brush to get a good flick on my eyeliner, I mainly use it if I want to use eyeshadow to then blend it for a kinda smokey look, but this is one that I barely use. £12.00 / $15.00 |
 |
| Sigma Pencil - E30 I again love this brush I use it to apply shadow to my outer corner of my eye mostly in like a V shape and also in my crease to then blend it out, I also use it to apply a highlighting shade to the inner corner on my eye, and I sometimes use it to apply shadow along my bottom lash line. £12.00 / $15.00 |
 |
| Sigma Medium Angled Shading - E70 I don't find myself using this one very often, it is ever so soft though and it does blend easily I just always reach for different brushes. £15.00 / $16.00 |
 |
| Sigma Large Shader - E60 I use this brush to pack on product all over my eyelid, its brilliant for that, and I occasionally also use it to apply my concealer in my under eye area. £15.00 / $17.00 |
 |
| Sigma Eye Shading - E55 I love this brush and its probably the one that I use the most to apply products directly on to my eye lid, its great with powders, creams and loose pigments. £12.50 / $16.00 |
 |
| Sigma Blending - E25 (Travel Size) This brush is great for blending its the prefect size to use to blend out your crease and outer V. I tend to use this wth very little product to smoke out a look or I use it clean to blend what I have already placed in my crease. This brush I received for FREE it was an offer they had at the time. Normal Size £12.50 / $16.00 |
 |
| Sigma Small Angled - E65 I love this brush to get that amazing point on winged eyeliner !!! Sometimes my eyeliner come out amazing other times not so much, but I feel thats more to do with my skill rather than the brush itself!! Ill keep practicing though!! £11.50 / $15 |
 |
| Sigma Cleaning Glove!! This is amazing and I am so glad that I got this with my brushes!! I love it can't imagine how I would clean my brushes without this, it was one side for face brushes and the other side is for eye brushes. The Purple one is no longer available the upgrade option is the pink one below priced at £30.00 or $39.00  I do love most of these brushes and they are brilliant quality, and I really like the way that they apply my make up and make blending eyeshadows easier. I didn't realise you could now get them in the UK from Beauty Bay, the main reason why I haven't bought anymore is because of the customs charge that you need to pay when you buy from American Websites, but I will now have a little look and see what other brushes I can get, I'm still on the hunt for the prefect concealer brush and I will have a look at Sigma again!!!
