Sigma Beauty Professional 12-Piece Makeup Brush Set - Premium Synthetic Fiber Brushes with Durable Handles for Flawless Face & Eye Makeup Application | Perfect for Makeup Artists, Beginners & Everyday Beauty Routine

These brushes are worth it especially for this price! I debated buying these for almost 2 years... wish I got them sooner. I love the F80 foundation brush it does work really well, better than my real techniques expert face brush or buffing brush (which I have used for 3 years) but they leave some streaks. The f80 takes less work to get a flawless finish and helps the foundation not look like its sitting on the skin. It can be easy to apply it too thickly so if med to heavy coverage is what you want this is the brush. I havent used the f35 highligher brush too much yet but it seemed to do what its named for and applied highlighter I think it could do a nice contour with the point of it too. still experimenting. the eye brushes: so the E25 is supposed to be a dupe for the MAC 117, and I would say thats close however the material is different. Mac uses goat hairs and the sigma is synthetic, but I prefer the MAC fibers, they hold onto the pigment and blend better. The sigma works too but i find I have to take more time and a little more product to get what im used to. But having this brush is great if I dont want to clean my brush in between colors. The pencil brush E30 is great! I really love it. my previous pencil brush from elf with the clear handle and white fibers was too soft, this sigma one works very well (I havent tried the mac to compare). the black blending brush E40 is a good blending brush Ive been using it at the end of doing my eyes to take away harsh lines. So thats my take, its worth it, especially if you only like synthetic brushes, however to me this wont replace MAC 117 or MAC 239 eye brushes. But the foundation brush is so worth it!
