It's so sad cuz last week, within 2 days i saw three different peeps on IG post that their sigma brush died. And they had the brush anywhere from 3 months-2 years. Such a waste of money!
i agree. the whole sets are like $50 with an exclusive code from a youtube "guru". i do like the glove idea tho. the price is insane so im getting a cat petting glove. my hands ache after i wash my brushes with cold/temperature room water.

Wish I have a better camera but surf usa is real but peace and parrot look so much alike to me.
Thank you Michelemu21! They look different in the pic but I do know colors translate differently in photos and on camera!I have seen swatches that look very close to each other. Since i have Peace in a palette plus the single I wasn't trying to buy a dupe! I

Try Laura Mercier
. So it says it's available on line, but I just called to confirm and it's OOS, quite a disconnect between 7pm and 11 am when I ordered this morning. Apparently it sold out this morning. Is there another brand that makes something similar to the Mac brow gel?

Cold water!? I use warm!!! My hands are prune-y afterwards, but at least they aren't iceburgs!

omg i thought i wasnt supposed to use warm water. Hell i have been torturing myself!!
You shouldn't use hot water, but cold water also isn't good. I think cold water makes it harder to clean the brush. Just a bit hotter than lukewarm is what works for me.

You can also get little hard plastic circles with raised bumps that are used to clean brushes at art supply stores for about $1 or so. They are designed to be put at the bottom of a cup. Art supply stores can also have some pretty good prices for good synthetic brushes, esp. In the watercolour brush section. I bet some of the exact same brushes are made for both makeup and art, but a higher mark up is put on the makeup ones. Sea sponges, which would also be in the watercolour section, are also quite cheap in art stores.

It's still early for me and I'm about to go to work, but I thought I'd share:

Juxt in the tearduct, bio green on the inner half of the lid, parrot on the outer half of the lid and deep truth in the outer V. The colours are more vibrant IRL. I like the combo...

Beautiful! I must try this myself since I happen to have all the shadows you mentioned.

Au contraire my friend. Greens make the blue come out more. The blue of parrot and deep truth cancels it out a bit but when I wear greens on my eyes they really stand out - in a good way ;)

I use coquette eyeshadow for my eyebrows
