I am in need of makeup brushes. And I really want to buy them from sigma. I just don't know if I should do it or not? All the brushes I need are about 170 dollars... Help??

If they're for personal use you can get away with lower end brands - ELF has some really impressive brushes in their studio line

I hear great reviews about real technique brushes etc.

For professional use I do recommend a bit of a splurge since in the long run youll definitely be saving money.

Sigma brushes are a great deal for both personal and professional use. I have 2 of their sets- basic and pro and love all of them.


I have a big mix in my kit from low to high end brands but have never had any issues or worries when it came to the ones I spent more on.

I have a mix of brands that include: MAC, Real Techniques, Sigma, Make Up For Ever, Coastal Scents, IT Cosmetics, and Bdellium tools. Of the least expensive, Bdellium and real techniques are my faves.

Good makeup brushes are a must! realtechniques and sigma are some really good and inexpensive ones. I'm a professional freelance makeup artist and licensed esthetician, the right brushes make a huge difference. Thesee are one thing you should definitely splurge on.

Yes its always worth it but elf is a good and I n expensive brand to use sold at target.

If you like them, can afford them, and they make your work look nice, why not? It will make things so much easier.
