I personally love Sigma! I have their Complete Brush Set with the roll for my business and let me tell you these brushes are amazing! I have a few MAC ones for myself but have recently been using only the Sigma brushes. They are affordable and soft and are great brushes. Some of them do leak colour after the first wash or two i found, especially with the duo fibre brushes. But it stops after a few washes and is nothing to rediculous.. Awesome brushes!

Hmm thats strange i haven't had that problem with my brushes and i love them they really are amazing I haven't owned any M.a.c when i went to buy some at the M.a.c store i found it to be a little rough on the skin but every one has there own likes and dislikes =]

I own only one MAC brush at the moment (217). Before that, I got quite a few Sigmas. I quite like the ones I have and will likely buy more, but I also think I'll be upgrading at least one or two of them to MAC (F40 (168 equivalent), E30 (219 equivalent)).

@Jessica-Lynn It was only the one duo fibre brush i have that leaked. I haven't had any other problem with any of the other brushes, and I read some reviews about the duo fibre after mine leaked and others had the same comment.. Im not sure if its just a few brushes that have this problem or what, but one little flaw definitely wont ruin my feelings for Sigma :) I have the MAC 217 and 239 for my own personal use but haven't used them lately.. :)

I can't say I'm 100% behind the Sigma thing. My biggest issue is the fact when I wash the black bristled brushes they still bleed black dye. I've owned them for months! Ok actually that wasn't my biggest issue... one of the brushes broke (the ferrule broke off the handle). This is before I had even washed it!
They are decent quality, but just like any other discount brush, they're made in China. You can easily find the same brushes for much cheaper by searching around eBay and other places.

I have to say MAC brushes are my favorite. I haven't come across one I haven't liked (course I only pick ones I want/need) and I've got a few that I've had for years and years, taken care of, and they still look fabulous!

I love my Sigma brushes and I did use most of the comparable ones in MAC as well. I find the Sigma are much softer and also grab the color better than their MAC counterparts.

I might make videos on Youtube, but that does not mean I didn't buy Sigma brushes with my own money!
I love this brand! I know it might be a bit sketchy when girls who make videos get something sent for free.
But I bought the Sigma brushes with my own money and I love them so much!
MAC brushes are great quality. Sigma might not be completely up to par, but it is pretty up there. Love the brand!
As with all brushes...there are some that you'll use. Others are gonna be eh.

I own both brands make up brushes. Personally prefer MAC eyeshadow brushes but for foundation love sigma more and more everyday. The SIGMA synthetic hd brushes are the best and i use most of the time. price is affordable as well.

I bought my brush set off sigma and for me the quality wasn't as good as my mac brushes. The brushes mostly the face brushes are super soft but the brush part came off the handle... I think I will pay a bit more and stick with Mac

Perhaps u get the bad batch coz i heard it happen to some people. Try MAC 130 or 187 the 2 brushes are great for foundation.

I have been using ELF brushes as well as the Sonja Kashuk brushes at Target and I am pleased with them but does anyone know if the Sigma brushes are better? I have one MAC brush, the stipple brush, it was pretty pricey so I have been avoiding buying more from them. If the Sigma's work the same/better and are a reasonable price I might look into them!

Love my Sigma brushes I would trade them for anything in the world. I personally believe my make up applies better using the brushes!
