Hi Ladies, Welcome to my new website, yay :). I’ve just moved from blogspot so bear with me. I make YouTube videos under the name Dazzledust25. I'm also available for Weddings, Debs, Photo shoots, one on one make-up lessons and make-up parties.
I was cleaning my brushes this morning and I found myself wondering if I had to pick a favourite brush what would it be.
The MAC 187 Duo Fibre brush wins hands down. Sure there are other brushes in my collection that are essentials and much more necessary than this one. But this really is my favourite, even if it’s not a staple.
This brush makes foundation application flawless. When used properly it can leave the skin looking airbrushed.
The brush is made from 2 different fibres of different lengths. The white bristles seem quite porous so using this brush to apply foundation directly to the face is not ideal as it gobbles up a lot of product. The flawless effect comes from the blending.
I like to apply my foundation sloppily with my fingers and then blend with this brush. My foundation has never looked so close to natural skin. I am a happy girl!
It can be use a brush like this with any foundation type. The downside is that it is expensive but I am happy to report that I love my Sigma SS187 just as much and it costs a fraction of the price.
I have heard nothing but positivity about the Sigma brushes over the last few months.
Many of you recommended them and a few messaged me to say I needed them. Who am I to disagree?
So, I bought the Professional Brushes Complete Kit (I blame you!) They cost $69 for 12 brushes from www.sigmamakeup.com.
I know this is more than many people are willing to spend on brushes but when you consider the cost of MAC brushes this feels like robbery.
For anyone who hasn’t heard of Sigma yet, they create dupes of MAC brushes; A Mac 249 Brush is a Sigma SS 249 etc.
They arrived a few days after Christmas and I have been trying them out every day since. I am going to record a video on my experience with them but for now let me tell you that they are worth every penny, and more. They are now mixed in with my mac brushes because they are such good quality that I can barely tell the difference.
And yes Irish ladies, they deliver to Ireland. (For you ladies who are not Irish, good companies hardly ever ship here. Completely ridiculous!)
