  • Finally someone who reviewed the brushes based on APPLICATION! I was so sick of everyone unpacking their kits and like "It has white bristles..." duh...I can see that! I wanna know how it works! . I recently started using stippling brushes because the paddle brush was giving me a hard time...now I know why,,,,there was indeed to much product and it was going past the half way point like you said. Thanks for the informative vid!

  • Love your tutorials! i watching with open mouth and believe every word you say XD i will buy the sigma bushes based on your reviews. thanks!!

  • i've been in search of mac dupe brushes, and decided to look up reviews on youtube for sigma brushes and out all the reviews i've seen so far you are by far the best guru that has been so thorough on this. I've seen other reviews of yours and i must say i love how complete and informative you are with products!. So thank you so much!!!! you definitely answered all the questions i had of these brushes!!!! :)

  • Ive been asking TONS of Guru's On youtube to PLEASE do a VID all about the art of BLENDING EYE MAKEUP.Differnt techniques, strokes, colors, swirls, etc etc. I think if somone can get the blending tecniques down, eyemakeup will be a breeze! Please consider it , and use ur fave brushes!.

  • Wow, my new favorite beauty guru!  Thanks for posting this.

  • I'm just got my sigma brushes and I think it was a wasting money they are not comparable with mac at all. The f50 is the worst make up brush that I ever own is not dense and applies the make up really badly.

  • @Fabiola19801 If you have concerns with your brush we can help you out! Please email contact at sigmabeauty com

  • I can even say how awesome you are. I'm really glad I found your channel!

  • Thank you for the honest review, Koren. Always love your videos xo

  • hey,

    did you first apply fondation with the 190 and just after that apply foundation over the first one with the 187 ???

    Or did you try the 187 with no foundation on you?

    I have never seen that before if it is a tip then thanks!!!

  • thank you so much,Koren

  • I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks to this awesome series I am asking for a Sigma set for Christmas!

    Thank you for your awesome collection of videos!!!

    I love your chanel and blog!!

  • I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hey I was just wondering since its been over a yr of having the Sigma brushes, do they still work as well, have you had any problems with them and would you reccomend them?

    thanks

  • hey can any one tell me if my videos work?? i cant get this tutorial to work, i love this video playing, its so worth any ones time.

  • I got my set some months ago. I love the brush roll, I think it's absolutely gorgeous, even better than some from Mac. About the brushes, they're good in general, although I'm dissapointed with SS150 because it losses its hair massively and with SS187 (now Duo Fiber) and SS168 (contouring) because I find the fibers too stiff and rough.

  • Well, I sent them yesterday an email telling about this and they have responsed today (wow!!) offering to replace these brushes. This is a great customers service ever

  • good clip. have any of you fellas looked at the wow cheats pack from warcraftbotsXinfo (replace X with .) ? its astounding, i just down loaded the pack. it's got totally every thing inside it, gold guides, bots, hacks, glitches and even the new arena glitch. i perhaps shouldn't tell folks about it but at the very least this offers you all a reasonable chance to obtain it before i pwn all of you

  • Koren, thank you so very much for doing this pro bono. I know we all appreciate how you take the time out of your schedual. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for showing us your tricks and tips. Its so selfless of you. Thank you. I look forward to seeing the videos that you post. Again thank you

  • U seem so lovely and sweet and you're very, very talented. god bless u x

  • Copycats without any dignity!

  • thank you very much for the video..i think i am sold on purchasing thiskit. had never heard of them until now! and i was goint to purchase mac brushes this weekend...talk about divine intervention! lol

  • I love your videos and you are so helpful, speak clear and teach a lot, and you yourself are just so cute! I love how you smile when applying blush :D

  • I've just got the Sigma 12 brushes set 2 days ago. Today, I used baby shampoo and warm water to wash them and little to no shed, but so.... SAD!!!!! The black black dye color came out so much from the SS150 and SS187. Is it normal? I'm so scared because this is my first brush set ever. Please advice!!!

  • really disappointed Sigma dun make a 129, so I'm planning to get it from Mac... and that would be my first Mac brush...

  • thank you so much for this! love your videos!

  • Thank you. :)

  • your absolutely faaaabulous! =D

  • did you ever get the new 187 brush?

    and if u did was it better?

  • they look like MAC brushes but affordable and i read good reviews 'bout them =) can't wait to order mine.............

  • omg! you dont have any dark circles at all!

  • uhh wouldn't you wanna use the foundation before blush and stuff??...

  • i just ordered the complete set a few days ago. what a long wait, but being on the waiting list help. i can't wait to try them!!!

  • me too..do u long how long the wait usually is? they didnt say when to expect them :(

  • I waited 6 weeks....so pleased I finally have them. They are great..they smell a bit funky despite washing but hoping the second wash will sort that out. The quality reallly is outstanding. I have a spare set I am going to sell on ebay.

  • Comment removed

  • i think they send the email when they send the brushes to you?

  • did u use paypal? when i ordered mine, i got an email same day and i live in canada... i received the package today and i am very pleased... the brushes are so softtttttttttt i LOVE them all and i will be ordering the kabuki brush... mine took 15 days but it was definitely worth the wait =)

  • just wondering, how long did it take for your order to get to you?

  • Mine took about 2 weeks but I was on a waiting list because I pre ordered, so it was processed in the order received.

  • mine took 17 days but i live in canada though so yeah... worth the wait, the brushes are really good quality. when i ordered mine, it was in stock... it does take a little longer when the product is not in stock

  • Thank you! I ended up getting mine 3 days later, I was SUPER shocked. I loveee these brushes.

  • thanks enkore

    You're the best,and i've learned só mutch.

    Great tips,and you're always so nice. <3

    Big hug....xxx

  • hey enkore, well im not sure if you have the save problem. I bought the mac 109 brush about 3 months ago and let me tell you it sheds like crazy. After washing it a numerous amount of times, it gives off like a black residue and it still sheds, What should i do? I'm afraid that mac wont replace it because i've had it for awhile... =(

  • i know what u mean about powder brushes shedding! wen i got the bare escentuals powder kit, the application brush shed on my FACE like no tmr! it was the worst brush =( AND it takes forever to dry.

  • You have a really cute nose! Thanks for the review

  • Koren

    Thank You so much for help us people that don't have a lot of money to spend on Mac brushes but need something close to MAC.

    I love you and Thank You for teaching me.

  • i ordered the brush set about a month ago.... when is the new brush release date, and how will i know they are going to send it to me?

  • side bar.

  • yea they should just keep both 187 brushes for those that use a smaller amount of application

  • i don't really like or need a lot of liquid foundation, but i do like the even look it gives my skin... out of the foundation brush or stippling method, which application is best for a very light application of foundation? thanks!!

  • i love your vids.

    ALWAYS so informing

    def. getting them

    and i talked to simone

    and omg she IS a sweetheart

  • Great video!!! i am ordering these brushes. I have almost all of the MAC brushes, but I love a good back-up brush. Or maybe some of these will be the first brush i choose because your review was excellent!!! thanx

  • you are the best!

  • this is awesome, cant wait to order! Koren-Love the picture in picture, slick!

  • i really want to get a better stippling brush than my coastal scents one (i cant stand it shedding anymore) would you recommend the sigma one, or a MAC one? do you think the mac one is worth the money?

  • i am most likely gonna get these! i dont know if i should wait till they add the 109, i want the whole set, i wonder why they dont put the kabuki brush in the set? i hope they end up adding that one and the 109 to it.

  • Enkore! You are amazing! I just absolutely love your videos :)

  • I completly agree with u!

    enkore u r the best!

  • does anyone knows how the 187 feels?

  • FREEZE! That was amazing lol. I want these brushes so bad now!! Not that I need them lol it would be nice to have a full set from the same line. How do they do with mineral lines? Did you try the kabuki brush?

  • please let us know when the new brushes will be avaliable so i could buy the new ss187 brush. pleaseeee

  • You are really nice and good professional. thanks for all your tips!

  • i love love love your videos! your so serene and the makeup you do is amazing!!

    xox

    Tess

  • Great review! I love how you broke up the testing and made it more thorough. And I apologize if this has been ask/mentioned... is it more of do their brush numbers correspond with MAC's brush numbers?

  • Yes they do!

  • my stippling brush from coastal scents applies foundation like this one days on the SECOND day after it's DIRTY... even when my brush is CLEAN... the foundation dots are bigger and more spread out.. am i doing something wrong?

  • not really the coastalscents brush is not as dense as the mac 187

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you so much for including that little tip midway of your foundation application. I never knew that I had to keep my foundation only on the tip of the brush.

    It made such a big difference when I made sure that the product didn't reach more than half-way of the brush during application.

    Thank you, Koren! :)

  • ok well i tried that and it flew like halfway across the room!!! so i super glued it!! lol

  • oh no - dont pull hard, just tug a little. On the good side of things at least you would know which ones to really glue good so you wont have any breakage in the future - I do that on mine

  • Hi Encore, did you get the revised SS187?  Is it just as dense/stiff as the Mac 187? I'm humming and hawing whether I should bite the bullet and just get the Mac or should I consider Sigma. Thanks! Great vids!

  • Not yet - I can't wait tho - . argh cant wait I really wanna see more white fibers on this.

  • I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But at the Same Time I Hate U Cuz U Got Me Addicted To Brushes AND I HAVE NO MONEY NOW

    grrr.....

    BUT I STILL LOVE YOU HEHE

  • haha I know the feeling - I have brush addiction too! woo hoo lets form a club! hahaha youre sweet

  • OMG i'm so upset... i ordered my set and payed like 70 bucks and they got lost in the mail..

    i want to cry :(

  • oh no - what happened? was there tracking or delivery confirmation? I suggest to email them...

  • well there is a tracking number on it..and it says it was delivered but i didn't get it...i've been trying to contact the post office but nothing...but thanks to this comment i posted they actually got in touch with me.. i didn't contact them because i know they send it and it was delivered so i was trying to resolve it with the post office... :(

  • Thank you koren love your videos :)

  • omg i just went to michaels and picked up a bunch of things from your videos. can't wait to set them all up!

  • Thank you Koren for your review! Nice video editing, too.

  • Getting very fancy with the editing of your videos! I like it :)

  • lol i love this review, its good that you consider the review of the brush after once using it...

  • hey i never thought to test out a stippler brush the next day to see if the stippling action is close together...so smart! i'm going to try that out with a hello kitty brush 187 i'm getting and if it sux the next day, its going BACK n i'll get the full size 187!

  • i was wondering if you could do a tutorial on red lipstick? like what kinds to wear with certain skin tones and stuff. I really like red lipstick but i don't what shade would look good on me!

  • FREEZE! haha loved that part :D

  • Comment removed

  • I ordered 2 sets of the brushes after the first video.. can't wait to try them out!!

  • did you get them yet?

  • I got my brushes and love them...I hope they add more brushes to the collection

  • i purchased the brush set same day i watched ur vid..i am very pleased with my brushes and excited to receive another stippling brush..do we have to contact sigma to request it?

  • they keep track of who ordered, so they will send them auto once the revised version is available.

  • Is Sigma going to make more MAC comparable brushes?

    Thank you for this Koren, you are awsome.

  • i hope so!

  • Gosh I am forever saying THANK YOU!!!! :>)

  • I love seeing you do ur whole face. I like to watch your technique. thanks for the demonstration!!!

  • if a beginner bought these brushes. would you still advise them to purchase mac brushes? are mac brushes much better than these brushes? would you use these professionally?

  • yes I have used them a couple times already on professional gigs, and they did not shed at all, embrassingly, my MAC 109 shed a bit I was almost embarassed to my client trying to pick hairs off her face. She asked me to not use the MAC brushes on her. wow

  • Why are the numbers of the brushes the same as MAC brush numbers? Is that like a coincidence or something?

  • this sounds amazing but would you recommend getting these brushes or the coastal scent brushes not with regards prices im talking about in quality????

  • you are so cute & your videos are very helpful thx!

  • Seriously, i love your videos. <3

  • hello koren i just wanted know if this sigma brushes are highly recommended? or a good quality?

  • how rude!!

    He's giving us his time and teaching us more about proper make up application while you are using your accounts to make him feel bad?

    Shame on you.

    What have you done that is worth mentioning on your account hmm??

    Also on that comment you made before about bad grammar, well guess what, gayer isn't proper english either.

    PWNED!

  • aaaaaaaaargh you're just so awesome Koren!!!!

  • THat is so rude of u. Please check your own name, that is some good english!

  • what an absolutely horrible and RACIST thing to say.

  • AWESOME news about getting a free ss187! I ordered the whole set on the 9th!!

  • *excitement* my newest makeup obsession lol. going to order this as soon as i can save up enough money.. lol. ^_^

  • Aww you don't look happy today! You look kind of sad :(

  • He probably filmed late at night.

  • My MAC 266's handle broke off like a week after I got it. POS.

  • well, the whole thing with cleaning the stippler brush... wouldn't that be the same for all stippling brushes??? not just sigma brushes...?

  • what about the sigma eye brushes?

  • there's already an application video for that

    :)

  • ooh yeah thanx. i just saw it. thanx !

  • so they are very very comparable to the MAc brushes? in quality? application? and you get them allll for 64.00??

  • i would love Sigma if they made a 188 version. I always see other makeup companies make a brush similar to the 187 but never the 188... *sigh*

    but thank you for the review. it was wonderful and helpful, like always :)

  • The company seems to be really responsive. Shoot them an email and they may come out with one.

  • Can't have too many brushes and the SIGMA site has been updated, making it easier to navigate.

    I'm only buying synthetic from here on out though - Koren, any word on a full synthetic set from SIGMA?

  • definitely send them an email and suggest a synthetic set! Im sure theyll consider it!

  • I sent the email in the wee hours of the morning and woke up to a response - thanks for suggesting that, Koren.

  • I just got a set of brushes from Sephora

    I just it wont hurt to get another set lol

    Ave

  • do you know when they will be releasing the new SS187?? and Thank you so much for your amazing reviews! :D

  • I believe they said Friday...

  • I just bought a set today, do you think that it'll come with the updated version of the SS187 or the old one and I'll get the new later?

  • yeah probably get the current version - theyll send you the updated version at a later date

  • Enkore PLEASE Ask them to make a MAc 109 please that is teh brush i reaaaly really want.. please ask them

  • You're awesome :o)

  • youre awsome! =]

  • Okay,I have a question. I know you have tried Coastal Scents brushes--do you like the SS187 or the duo powder stippler brush from CS? I have the pink brush from CS and its really soft and I just want to know if the SS187 is more dense.

  • Im hoping the new updated version with more white bristles will be denser. They said should be avail Friday.

  • 10:35 was so cool, lol.

    Great editing!

  • The cuts in this video were really cute. :)

  • I accidentally hit the thumbs down when I meant to hit thumbs up!

  • Man, i want these!

  • im going to get these brushes..thanks for showing these to us.!! xx

  • woohooooo!!!!

    thanks!

  • nice edits hehe

  • Hahaha, I thought his reviews was soooo cayuuute. I had to reply like 50 times because I thought it was so hilarious! Tee hee.

  • I love them too! I like the "screen push" but I really love how he did the screen-in-screen during the first foundation application. Really creative!

  • did you wash the brushes before use? if so with what and what else can use if you don't have a brush cleanser ?

  • yes, with baby shampoo and warm water

  • water and baby shampoo
