Review : Sigma Brushes and Real Techniques Brushes

Hello!! Nice to see you agian.
This time I come with a lot of make up brush!!
16 Make up Brushes!!!

Hope these information on my review did help you guys on buying these^^
Anyway let's get started.

In Thailand, the make up brush from Sigma and Real Techniques is just so HOT!!!
It is impossible for normal Thai Girls have not heard about these 2 brands and may be they are already purchased them.


For me, I would like to buy foundation brush that can make my face looks flawless and does not eat my foundation all up^^


SO I did take a look at Sigma Website and their's video and I totally falling in love with the Sigma right away. Then I read the reviews about their item and I decided to buy right away!

I am looking for the make up brushes that can make my face looks stunning so my review this time will be a lot about the foundation brush. Other brushes like for eyes? I using brush that comes with Naked 2. I am using eyeliner from LifeFord [Which is very very GOOD!!] So what I need is just the right brush for put on my foundation^^ and I am done with the brush.

SIGMA Brush
Synthetic Kabuki Kit 4 Brushes



So sorry about my little foundation on the brush T_T
But it is the prove that I did use them before I wrote the review for you guys. ^^




SIGMA BRUSH : FLAT KABUKI F80
This one is the MUST. The item should purchase!!!
It is totally good. It is make the perfect Airbrush finished on your face by your own hands!!!
No hurts, No eating Foundation, No taking too much times and Not Heavy Brush
It is good for big area on your face.


SIGMA BRUSH : ROUND KABUKI F82
This one is good for detail work on your face like near by your eyes, yours nose and rounded area like your forehead. It is just perfect.
But normally I use F80 to cover every part on my face and it did its job perfectly no need to change brush when you reach different area. But It will make you look professional when you have different brush for different type of area^^.

But I am to lazy to change. hahahaha



SIGMA BRUSH : ANGLED KABUKI F84
Even they said this brush is for angled area on your face like cheek bone and chin area. But I did use once in a while to cover all of liquid foundation all over my face and it is still looks perfectly good!!!
But it is not right for put on blush on because it eat to blush on all out T_T



SIGMA BRUSH : TAMPERED KABUKI F86
This brush is perfect to do the hi light and to reach the nose area. To tell you the truth, I did not have a chance to use it that much due to the fact that I am not in to the hi-lighter.^^ I did not use it.



So I do love all of my Kabuki Brush from Sigma because of the softness and the flawless that these brush can make me. Yeahh. Even I do not have a chance to use it all frequently.

Anyway my passion with kabuki brush from Sigma is just rise to the max so I bought a little Kabuki from Sigma [Taylor]



 HOLLYWOOD KABUKI SIGMA is just totally let me down!!!
Because It made of bad material with the something violet that you can see in the picture is just look so cheap and the glue is just soo soo bad!!! But the brush is still good just like F80 can make an airbrush finished on my face.
It is just came out from each other just like that!!!
I did shock and I fixed it with the glue and still using it now.
But it is made of the real bad quality of package, I am not recommend you guys to buy this item.


Anyway, I still in love with the Kabuki brush and I found the Kabuki brush from near by my shopping mall which is really really CHEAP and you know what the result of this brush still make a perfect look like Sigma did!!! Ahh I love Kabuki Brush.

But it does not mean that every brush that have a Kabuki shape will give you the same result as these. You have to find and test to make sure that it is soft, not drink all of your foundation and still give you the perfect finished!!






Let's come to another brand "Real Techniques" from Sam as a famous Blogger. You visit her site here  http://realtechniques.com/
From my opinion, it is not that beautiful site like Sigma and the videos [tutorial]  are not that attract me to buy like Sigma did at all. But in Thailand we have a lot of good reviews about their product so I did purchase them at the end ^^


REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH : CORE COLLECTION 
Okay first, I like the package that design to make it to travel. I love it! and the weight is light [may be too light] not heavy at all for those who like the very light brush you should pick this one. Second, They can stand on the table by their own !!! This is perfect Sigma can not do that!!! Last, The brush still soft but I think the density is not equally to the Sigma Kabuki.




REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH : CORE COLLECTION > CONTOUR BRUSH


REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH : CORE COLLECTION > POINTED FOUNDATION BRUSH
This one can use with the liquid foundation but can apply in small amount and not big area [because it is a pointed brush] So if you want to put on your foundation all over the face with this it is might take times.


REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH : CORE COLLECTION > DETAILER BRUSH
To conceal and to put on lipstick. [which I normally put on lipstick directly form the stick hahaha]


REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH : CORE COLLECTION > BUFFING BRUSH
Over look with long fur that stand out form others, I love this brush to put on my powder brush. It is quite nice but can not put on my liquid foundation so T^T 







In conclusion,  this product is completed with all the brush that can use every part of your face such as eyes, foundation, conceal, lip and powder. To make a lovely  travel set is YES!!
If the foundation brush is bigger than that my answer will be more YES and PERFECT!!!

But for real me, I do not personally use make up brush for eyes[I am using Naked brush], conceal and lips. I do use only to apply liquid make up to make a flawless look . So I have to give all if this to my mother instead because I do not want my brush from real techniques to eat dust in my room, 

Let's see others brush from Real Techniques that have a good reviews!!!

REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH : EXPERT FACE BRUSH 9$
Good for apply blush on / powder and liquid foundation which compare to the F80, F80 only for applying liquid foundation.



REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH: FOUNDATION BRUSH 8$
This one is a must for me because it can give you a perfect finished while applying liquid foundation with less amount of foundation even can go through the nose and eyes area that F 80 Can not so I totally in love with it!!!!

But I think you have wash it frequently more than F80 of Sigma if not it will give you a little line on your face.


REAL TECHNIQUES : POWDER BRUSH 10$
This one is cutie because of the big fluffy one. Feels good when applying mineral powder on your face.


Size Comparison with Sigma F80




Let's take a look at another Real Techniques
REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH : TRAVEL ESSENTIALS 18$




REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH : TRAVEL ESSENTIALS > ESSENTIAL FOUNDATION BRUSH
To tell you the truth, another foundation brush that I said earlier is better than this one. It can not give you the perfect flawless look like Foundation Brush from Real Techniques.


REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH : TRAVEL ESSENTIALS > DOMED SHADOW BRUSH
It is good for blending and tri angle at the corner of your eyes but I think Naked 2 brush is more effective that this one.


REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH: TRAVEL ESSENTIALS > MULTI-TASK BRUSH
No comment on this one. It is normal good for applying blush on /  powder.







Let's see closer look at the Foundation brush from Real Techniques.
Left one is smaller
Right one is bigger
but they are all take time to complete your face.
If you have to choose one, I highly recommend Foundation Brush from Real Techniques.



In Conclusion Sigma and Real Techniques
1. Sigma and Real Techniques 
not that different compare the softness but Real Techniques is cheaper and lighter.

2. Set Real Techniques is perfect for travel

3. When washed....Real Techniques is dry faster that Sigma

4. Perfect for liquid foundation 1st is Foundation Brush Real Tech >> 2nd is Sigma F80 
because Foundation brush from Real Techniques is one brush that can go through every part of your face such as nose / under eyes and etc. still leave the perfect air brush look^^

and that is it
all is just my opinion which is
1. I do not like to have a lot of make up brush so I want to find good one or two only.
2. I like to buy only foundation brush. [No contour / conceal /bronzer or shading]

so hope this is useful for you guys please do not forget to adapt my review to fit your needs because both Sigma and Real Techniques is very good make up brush but You need to find right one that suit to your personality of make up is the best choice like you travel a lot you need to find one brush that has multitask so it has to be real techniques travel set for example. ^^
