What I Use Each Sigma Sigmax Brush For Part 2: Precisions

The Precision Brushes of the Sigma Sigmax Line, I think, are the most innovative.  I love the idea of mini-sized kabuki's, meant to mimic the abilities of your own fingers when applying creamy products to the face.  Here's what I use each one for, and if you haven't yet, check out my uses for the Kabuki Sigmax brushes here!

What I Use Each Sigma Sigmax Brush For Part 1: Kabuki's!

I'm sure you've all heard and seen the Sigma Sigmax Kabuki and Precision Brushes in action for quite a while now if you've ever read a beauty blog or watched a guru on YouTube.  They're one of those products that you'd be hard pressed to hear anything negative about.  Personally, I don't have anything to say about these brushes in terms of a review that hasn't already been said before:  they're amazing!  Every single brush in the collection is easily a LOVE!!! for me.

What I did want to do is discuss how I used each one.  Essentially, if you buy the whole kit you're getting 5 brushes for foundation and 5 brushes for concealer.  One may ask, why do you need 10 different brushes for only 2 tasks?  That's a valid question, so I figured I'd lay out my individual uses for each brush.  They do list the uses on the Sigma website, but I don't really go by those and have learned what works best for me through continued use.  Let's get going with the Kabuki's first!

Sigma Mrs. Bunny Travel Kit Review, Part 1: Eye Brushes

In most of the ways that count, I am not in any way a vegan.  I don't know what I would do without burgers and cheesesteaks, eggs and bacon, and God do I LOVE cheese!!!!  On the other hand, I am definitely down with treating animals humanely and with the utmost respect, which is part of the reason that I prefer synthetic brushes.  Another reason is that, when done right, synthetic brushes can be incredibly lush and soft on your skin.  So when Sigma announced their new Bunny Collection of brushes I didn't hesitate to add them to my Christmas Wish List.  I've always wanted to try Sigma and these brushes sounded right up my alley.  All the brushes in this collection are the same as the ones in the original Sigma line, just vegan versions.  In this post I'm going to review the eye brushes, and then in Part 2 I'll review the face brushes and the overall Travel Kit.  Read on for more!

Quick TIP: Having Trouble Blending Your Concealer? Try This!

I'm not a fan of traditional concealer brushes.  I feel like they just plop the product on but don't actually blend very well.  They also can feel a little abrasive on my delicate undereye area.  That's why I switched over to using fluffy eye blending brushes to blend in my concealer.  However I found with those that, while they blended beautifully, I'd lose some of the concealer's coverage on account of the brush swiping the product back and forth.  Then of course there's using your good old finger to pat in the concealer, which provides the best coverage and does a pretty sufficient job at blending as well.  My problem with the finger though is, besides being a little unsanitary, it's not as precise as I'd like it to be.  


Enter the answer to all those concerns:  the new brushes surfacing that happen to mimic the shape of the finger. Sigma recently came out with an entire brush collection called the Precision Eyes Kit that is meant to replace your fingertips in your makeup application and I just reviewed an excellent Concealer Kabuki from Ecotools that you can read about here.  The brush I use the most however was not necessarily engineered specifically as a fingertip replicate but the idea is the same none the less.  It's the E.L.F. Angled Contour Brush.  Technically it's an eye brush, and I do use it for the eye as well, but my favorite use for it is undereye concealing.  After applying concealer to the undereye area, I use the flat angled top of the brush to pat in the product where I need coverage, and then I swirl the brush in small, circular motions around the edges of where the concealer is applied to blend it in.  The result is a perfectly blended undetectable application with top notch coverage!
