Sigma Blending e25 Brush Review

This is a must have brush! It has just the right amount of firmness and softness to beautifully blend out shadow. It doesn’t take much work at all to get everything blended out perfectly. I use it on nearly every client I touch and I have a couple I personally use on myself too. Truely a huge staple in my kit!

I have two of these and honestly would get more! This is a great all rounder in the sense that you can apply eyeshadow and blend it out. I recently purchased some of the brushes specifically for applying eyeshadow and they were more firm and scratchy and I didn't like the feel of them on my eyes. However, I really loved this one. When I select my brushes for eyeshadow at the beginning of the week and this brush is amongst my top picks because it can apply and blend and it feels really nice on my eyelids. It's a simple brush, narrower and smaller than my Real Techniques Base shadow brush you probably wouldn't think much of it but applies eyeshadow on in diffused look and blends it out where two different colors meet. I like using it for blending out eyeshadows and applying powder eyeshadows all over my lid. I have smaller lids and this fits my eyes perfectly. I haven't tried it with cream eyeshadows yet because I don't have any and I'm not sure if the hairs are natural ones or not but it works really well with loose mineral eyeshadow. It washes out completely white and good as new. I would highly recommend this if you were looking for a basic blending brush.

This brush is one of my most used, hence I have 2 (with the prospect of making it 3) one in Sigma normal range and another in their copper range.

Why I like this brush, well aside from the fact that the handle is designed in such a way that it sits beautifully in your hand at any angle to allow you total comfort and movement to really work those eyeshadows into place. Coupled with the super fluffy yet compacted head of bristles that in their creamy off white tone look adorable but also allow you to pick just the right amount of shadow up without fall out.

Not one of my Sigma brushes have ever lost a single bristle, the E25 is no exception to the rule and keeps it's shape and fluffy state long after you have washed it multiple times. There is no sign of my original silver barrel E25 loosen its bristles and I have owned and used it, washing it once a week for the last 18 months!

You also get that luxury feel when you use any Sigma brush which I am a sucker for, it is a pleasure to use and gets great results. I use the E25 for highlighting the brow bone, blending out smoky eyes, and for accent shadowing.

I bought this brush after watching Make up guru Jaclyn Hill. Sigma had free international shipping which was excellent. I got a free mini e25 blending brush to go with it which was an added bonus. This brush is amazing. It adds colour to the lid but doesn't leave hard lines. It is also really good for feathering out the hard lines too. Even though it looks too fluffy, it easily gets into the crease of the eye. The brushes are very reasonable in price and the bristles stay intact! I recommend this brush to everyone.

I bought this brush two years ago directly from the Sigma website. From what I remember the shipping was reasonably quick, although it should be as it was really expensive (I bought five brushes and it USD$17 for shipping). The brush itself was USD$9.

The handle of this brush is black. The writing on the side does wear off quite quickly especially with washing etc. If you want the writing to stay then pop some clear nail polish over it, I don't particularly mind as they are only for my personal use. The brush itself is white and every time I clean this is comes back to white which is great, especially given how long I have had this. I also haven't had any fall out of the brush hairs with this brush.

I use this brush every single time I do my eyeshadow. Now I see how cheap it was I'm considering buying a few back ups! It is a great fluffy but reasonably dense brush so it is great for picking up colour to put over the whole lid. It picks up the right amount of colour to put over your lids and it doesn't cause any fall out as long as the eyeshadow is a reasonable quality.

In writing this review I have convinced myself I need to buy some more! I have found this to be as high a quality as any of my MAC brushes.
