My Favorite Makeup Brushes

I thought I'd do a quick post on my favorite makeup brushes that I reach for the most when applying my makeup.  I purchased Sigma Makeup's Make Me Up kit one year ago and so many come from that brush kit.  I will not go into an in-depth review of each brush in that kit because I know there are already many reviews out there.  Some brushes are not from the Sigma kit, and I've just collected over the past year and found they work well for me.  When I purchased this set one year ago, it was a major purchase for me.  I know there are much more expensive high quality brushes out there, but this is what I could afford. The main point I would like to stress when looking for a brush set, is to stick within your budget!  There are so many high quality brushes out there, and although I chose to purchase mainly Sigma brushes, they are not exclusively the best brushes out there.   After all, I'm assuming that most of you would like to have money left over to purchase makeup so you can actually use your new brushes instead of just looking at them. :)

Here is a video showing you my favorite brushes & how I use them.


Thank you for your patience as I learn how to SPEAK (lol) and edit my videos! I promise the transitions & editing will get better!

I've done some Ooogley-Google-ing for you and put links to more info on the brushes I talked about in this video.  Yes, I am that nice! :)

  1. The Sigma brushes look so nice! I love my ELF Studio brushes, but maybe someday when I can afford to splurge a little more, I'll pick up a few of these. :)

    Your eyes are absolutely stunning, by the way!

    1. Hi Anna! Thanks for taking the time to comment. :) <3 Yes, I also felt these were a splurge to me, so if you are in love with your ELF brushes then you are just as happy as I am and don't have to be in a hurry to replace them. :)

      Thank you so much - I have a video filmed on this eye look that I will post later this week! :)
      I visited your blog, joined, & also subbed on your YT! <3 it! :)
