Exactly why I stopped looking to YouTube for recs...
Too much overhyping from up n coming companies to even care about the products.
Damn shame

One of the problems with getting recs from youtube is a lot of times, the people are sent the products for free to try out and then review on their channel. And while this is a great way for newer companies to get exposure, a lot of times the person reviewing them has never actually placed an order or dealt with customer service. So you're not exactly getting a fair review of how the company does business. That sucks reading so much negativity about Sigma customer service, now I'm rethinking investing money into their brushes.

Okay, I sent in a pre order request and they said there was no need to pre order, that everything will be available on the website this week...

Of course, I get paid Friday and am broke til then so I'm sure it'll all be sold out again before next weekend. Darn it LOL.

 

[twilightessence]

Sorry for the double post, but everything including the full brush sets are now on the website. Thought some of you that wanted it and didn't want to be on the waiting list might want to know. I really do hope its still available on Friday LOL.

No problem! Maybe try clearing your cache/cookies/history?

I had to restart and do a disk cleanup! Specktra and google worked fine tho!

So the SS188 is def not for blush LOL . I've never used the MAC 188 but I heard people use it for blush and the SS188 doesn't pick up colour like I want it too . I need to spend like a minute to put on blush .. lol .

I havent tried it with liquid foundation yet but its really soft . Kind of smelled a bit but it's gone after washing it .

I've only had a problem with one brush so far, that being the SS109. After a washing it 2 more times, it shed quite a bit. So I emailed and let them know I wasn't happy, I got a response 2 days later and they're sending me a new one.

Sorry to hear some of you are having issues with the company

I got two brushes from Sigma last week, and after washing them and using them I have to say that they are really good brushes. SS224 is more like a MAC217, and it's always handy to have a second clean one lying around, and the SS150 is a lot softer than MAC's 150. I wouldn't believe I'd ever say this, but I actually prefer the SS150.

I actually have too many brushes from MAC and I'm quite happy with them, but I will definitely consider Sigma from now on. It's very good quality, with much less money.

does anyone have a problem with their ss187? I've washed it 2-3x now. And the dye wont go away!! SO i 'll wash it free of dye (impossible to stop it from bleeding thus far.) then the stupid brush dries with black dye on the white portion. grrrrrr.

I ordered the full set without the brush roll today. I am not expecting mircales or a MAC brush, just something good to use LOL. So hopefully I'll like these. For $71 (that includes shipping) for 12 brushes I figured it was a good deal...

I also have to say regarding the waiting list. Even if you are on the waiting list you are NOT obligated to buy, they simply send you an email telling you that you can. Sometimes the timing isn't right. You certainly dont need to pay up front to be on the list either.

I personally prefer how the names are ss187 vs 187 that way when im following someones tutorial persay and i dont have a 242 from mac i can actually use a very similar brush like the ss242 or what not.

 

[soglambitious]

I have the Sigma brushes and ADORE them. They are definite MAC dupes, very high-quality and I would recommend them for SURE. The SS182 and the SS224 are to DIE FOR. Friggin' amazing. Their only downside is that the face brushes tend to shed, usually about 4 hairs every time I use them.

The only brush I was a bit disappointed in was the SS219 pencil brush, because I felt like it was a bit too soft, long and dense to line your eyes with but it makes a great crease brush ... especially to "cut" with.

They also come in a really cute little bag and with a free gift (usually an E.L.F eyeshadow). I HIGHLY recommend these brushes. Just buy them! I really did a lot of research before I made my purchase (I watched about 15 videos on them on youtube and read some reviews) and I am really happy with my brushes.

 

[Stephy171]

OMGGG i really want these brushes!

I'm thinking of getting one of their travel sets to sample the quality. They have a black and pink set.

The pink one comes with a SS187: More details of the Sigma Makeup pink travel kit - exclusive! on Twitpic

I purchased brushes from Sigma after seeing MakeupbyTiffanD's review on youtube. I, like many others on this messageboard, was somewhat skeptical of the company based on their skimpy website and copycat of MAC's numbering system... but the brushes looked really great on Tiffany's review, so I decided to give them a try. I purchased the face/eye brush set with the bush roll and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! I have mainly used the eye brushes so far and I LOVE them. I use them as frequently as my MAC brushes and in combination with them. I would say they are of a quality that is close to MAC, if not equal to. I actually prefer their SS209 to my MAC 209 brush. I haven't washed/tested all of the face brushes yet, but the ones I have tried have been excellent. I even like the brush roll. It keeps all the brushes safe and secure in one convenient, easy to travel with package. I have gotten brushes from Coastal Scents and I have to say, the brushes from Sigma so far have been better. I am definitely planing to purchase from Sigma again, I am eyeing the SS188 and the SS150 (even though it is a slightly different shape than the MAC version).
