Hi! I have the Sigma Complete kit (not the Pro one that was released this year) and I really like it. I think they'll be great for freelancing. The Pro brush set is nice too but I think that the Complete kit has more essential brushes, so I'll go with that one first and in the future if you want you can buy the Pro kit
HTK!!

I bought the ss197 and I love it! best brush for liquid, gel, cream and power foundation I've ever used! I plan to buy a second one so I can wash it and leave it to dry and have a clean one the next day.
Only down fall is it takes ages to dry JustLikeHollywood. Make-up, Hair, Random Rambles and Music.
I have a full review on there, sorry if it's not the best of reviews but I'm trying

i caved in and ordered from sigma when they were having a small sale! i got the complete face & eyes kit w/ brush roll & a marilyn kabuki for 91 bucks! the set & roll alone is 89 so i fugured why not! i havent washed or used the brushes but from what i see i love these... they are all so soft & i love the handles the rool is also awesome!
On another note since their is so much debate over their names, Rumor has it that sigma is changing all their brush names for example F50 & E30 lol umm i dont know how i feel about that??? Alsoo they are coming out with 20 new brushes! im eexcited to see what they come up with.....
I'm already planning to buy that premium kit hahaha im such a sucker

Re: Question for those of you with the Sigma pro brush set...

The 224 is one of my absolute favorite Mac brushes and the sigma knockoff sucks! The bristles spread out and it's itchy against the skin. Mediocre.

IMO, the SS239 is nothing special. I bought one in December and it feels like the brush is coming apart from the ferrel. As far as performance goes, it does the job. Before I bought the Sigma brush, I bought 2 elf shadow brushes (black handles) and they look almost the same and work pretty much the same. If I would have known that those Elf brushes were exactly like the Sigma one, I probably wouldn't have bought the sigma brush.

I am wondering why they're changing the names of their brushes...
I'd render a bet that MAC sent them a cease and desist about copying the brush numbering system!

I'm considering buying some Sigma brushes, so I am doing my research... lol.I came across some helpful reviews etc. while googling... I'm still making my way through the 21 pages of this thread, so my apologies if any of these have already been linked to...
Hope these are useful!
Here is a thorough review (it even covers how much the brushes weigh!) with good photos of the Premium set:

Ew! Can anyone help me figure out what's going on with my SS190 brush?! I just took this photo a couple of minutes ago -- what's up with this blue color around the ferrule? Maybe it's... glue coming off??
Is this normal? I'm kind of upset because I have a lot of eye brushes and enough powder brushes that if one of them broke or got lost or something, I'd have a replacement, but I really have no other foundation brush except for that one. I clean it a lot, too. I mean... it still works, but now that I noticed that, I'm a little grossed out by whatever that blue stuff is.
I honestly still think that the Sigma brushes are quite good quality though. I haven't noticed any issues with any of my other ones (I have the travel kit which gave me 8 brushes).

Thanks, I just emailed them. I have some issues though about a company that won't include a phone number on their contact information page. It just makes them less accessible and I'm inclined to have doubts when it seems like they're not all about customer service.
Did anybody here have trouble contacting them by email though? Are they prompt with responses, or not so good?

I appreciate the honesty. Missy has a good review of the first "complete" kit (12 brushes) though:
