Sigma Brushes are not available in stores but they have a great online store. The website is very easy too navigate and you are able to get a very close view of the brushes. They only have a US website but they ship internationally.
I didn't order the Brush roll that Sigma offers just because I don't think I would necessarily need it. The shipping was very fast (ordered on 12/21 - delivered 12/24) and the Brushes came in a cute little bag that I'm still using to carry them around.
I've been using the brushes almost every day so far and made my first impressions.

My favorite brushes are the Foundation Brush, Blending Brush, Large Shader Brush, Concealer Brush, Pencil Brush and the Eye Shading Brush. My least favorite ones are the Powder Brush and the the Duo Fibre Brush. I love the size of the Powder Brush and that the Duo Fibre Brush blends in the Make up very well but I just don't like the shedding.
Overall I would definitely recommend the brushes. As I said, I don't have the comparison to MAC Brushes but I've heard many people favoring the Sigma Brushes and not just because of the price.

I always wanted an alternative to MAC brushes. They're too bloody expensive. I'll have to check Sigma out.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love brushes! I love the way they feel, I love to buy them. But then I use to same brushes everyday and forget about all my others. They get lonely. It's very sad.
