The Best Synthetic Brushes

I am a huge fan of Sigma Beauty's synthetic brushes!  They are super-durable, so insanely soft, easy to clean and definitely affordable.  They have taken over all the department store brands for me and I have shared with friends and family who have also become obsessed.  Two kits which are being buzzed about right now are their Synthetic Kabuki Kit and their Synthetic Precision Kit.  The Kabuki Kit comes with four different shaped kabuki brushes (flat, round, angled and tapered).  They are fantastic for applying both liquid and powder products onto the face as the brushes were specifically designed so that no product is absorbed into the fibers.  Shockingly smooth application and I was stunned at how much better my foundation looks with using these brushes!  The second kit I'm all about right now is the Synthetic Precision Kit which contains four smaller face brushes which are designed to mimic your fingers as far as applying products to the face.  Each brush in the kit was uniquely designed to apply eyeshadow primer or concealor or to put foundation and concealor on the smaller areas of the face such as sides of the nose.  All-around great brushes - you will be so happy with them whether you buy a kit or individual brushes.  Plus, they come packaged in pink ribbon - perfect for holiday gift-giving.

Flat Top Kabuki

Sigma Beauty makes the best synthetic brushes!  Who knew face brushes could ignite such a passion within me, but wow, they make such a difference.  I have been religiously using their exclusive Flat Top Kabuki brush which is perfect for applying powder or liquid foundation beautifully.  I keep the brush in my purse because it works so much better than any of those weird flat sponges that come with all pressed powder.  The brush is super soft, doesn't shed and washes well with some baby shampoo.  It also contains an exclusive Sigmax filament which means the liquid and powder won't be absorbed into the brush fibers.  All I really know is this is one fabulous brush and I can only imagine the rest of the collection is equally perfect.

Dare-ing Palette Perfection

I am LOVING this new palette by Sigma Beauty.  The colors are ridiculously gorgeous (even more vibrant in person than in this pic), the case is made of sturdy cardboard (yep, fell off my dresser and no dents), comes with an out-of-this-world high-quality brush with two ends for shading and contouring, and all the shadows look amazing on (even the orange which almost made me scream in fear).  The palette is perfectly named Dare because you almost have to dare yourself to wear it... at first.  The moment I started to swipe the colors on my eyes, I was completely in love with the shades.  Who knew I could ever wear such warm colors without looking sick.  I am extremely pale with light blue eyes and these colors (yes, even the red and orange) look amazing on me.  I am seriously impressed at all the different looks I have been able to create from this one palette.  Dare has definitely jumped to the front of my line for must-have products this fall.  Absolute perfection and so surprisingly stunning.  Retails for $35.00 and is worth every penny.  I would double-dog dare you to try this palette, but I don't believe in peer pressure.
