Sigma Brushes

I saw the video too and then I checked out the website and it just given off a bad vibe to me, because of the way they named their brushes, it seems like it's totally copying MAC in my opinion. If they didn't name it like that, I might've thought otherwise, but the way the names are written just turned me away from it =/ That's my opinion on it though, others might think differently since it is a cheaper alternative.

I saw the video and I liked the brushes. I think i would give the face brushes a chance. Not really liking the eye brushes. Hey if i pay with paypal and things dont go right at least i can try and get a refund. Anything is worth trying. With the prices of MAC brushes i can have 5 of those sigma brushes for the price of one mac brush.

I saw the vid too, but now I want somebody brave enough to actually order and use the brushes. The face brushes do look interesting, but the copy MAC thing is kinda a turnoff for me...

I just wish it was possible to order the brushes individually beyond the kabuki (which is on the site but near impossible to find). I'd rather order like 2 brushes to test, than invest in a whole set only to learn I hate them. Plus I really don't NEED all of them

Exactly, they should have come out with a more original concept, but I am sure someone with give them a g

I saw the vid as well...if I got them and liked them I would probably use them for others who want their makeup done as nobody can touch my MAC ones....check out this girl's review...she has used them...the naming really doesn't bother me...but they could have been original..jmo.

I like the idea of them numbering the brushes the same. It is easier for someone like myself ( new to the makeup world ) to know what they are compaired to. I would like to try these brushes. Also Encore just posted a new video up about them this weekend I beleive.

I don't like how the website doesn't say what they are made with, what type of fibres...

^^^ I have to agree with that statement. I emailed the creator (Simone?) to ask about their animal cruelty policies with regard to the sourcing of animal fibers. We'll see what she says. It's the one issue I have!

(I'm not that picky about their numbering system being the same as MAC's. I think, as Brenda mentioned, that might make things easier for people who are new to makeup, new to MAC, new to brushes etc. That said, I have to wonder what MAC has to say about it!) :p

My comments in Tiffany's video were not well received. Like others have said in this thread, the fact that they're using MAC's lettering system is uhm.. embarrassing. It's like they're trying to trick their customers, imo.

Then I went to Tiffany's blog and it's even worse than I thought. Not only are they using the same numbers and names, but they're also using the exact same descriptions for the brushes that MAC is using. word for word..

i do think its kind of weird that they use the same #ing even for brushes that are slightly different!

i know people have posted that these are not private label, the the owner "says so", and that they are cruelty free. i want to see something more concrete....like some information on their (very barebones imo) website regarding the composition and sourcing of their materials and manufacturing.

I love my MAC brushes but if I can find something just as good at a cheaper price, I'm all over it. As for the numbering system, I'm with Brendakay on this one. I think a universal numbering system would be so much easier for peeps new to the makeup scene.

i don't think it was necessary for them to use the same numbering system, if you look at the brush and the name of it i think most of us can figure out what it could be duped for, i also what to know what the fibers are made out out of I'm really not in to animal fur on my face
