REVIEW : MAC Stippling Brush 187 Review

I was in need of Stippling Brush, and I was like crazy to get it.. I saw many on net and compared them , and decided to buy only MAC 187 , whenever I will,It was back in April this year, when I went to Saudi Arabia, and went to MAC store there  .. I stepped in shop and gone crazy lolz, I tested literally every other thing in the shop and salesman was also like  looking at me , what she is upto  I guess it was because I don't have MAC store in Pakistan.

Well I did not buy any thing else than 2 brushes and those cost me Pakistani 7000 rupees .. 

I bought,

MAC 187 ( 218 Saudi Riyal = 4800 PKR ) In USA it is of 42$

and MAC 168 (173 Saudi Riyal=3800 PKR )

And by my knowledge and updated info on their new ranges , I managed to gain trust of salesman , and he was like, not so many girls who come here, have so much MAC knowledge , but u do .. and I was like, Yeah Yeah 

So , I came home ,and kept my MAC 187 safe in my vanity drawer.. I used it in June for the first time, with my MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation.

Ahhhhhhh,,, I loved the flawless coverage it gave me , wow , I was like celebrity face in just 5 minutes :))

It does cover each and every pit of ur face.

What It is used for :

To apply,

Liquid Foundation

Cream Blush

Powder Blush

Face Powder

Bronzer

Literally everyhting u want 

What Is It :

It is called Stippling Brush, as it works on basic principle of Stippling the liquid on the face, and get a pixelized effect.It is a blend of goat and synthetic hair.

Synthetic ones at top (white )... It has flat head,perfect for Stippling  It is large brush with dense bristles.

For me , i am not so experienced, so blending with this takes time , and in the end, if I don't blend at right time, foundation dries up and it leaves some streaks on face, for which I have to use Swirling motion, But by swirling, the original theme n benefit of MAC 187, is lost.. I need to practice a bit more to apply foundation perfectly with this ....

It is perfect for sheer application of blush, as it picks up exactly the right and required amount of blush and lightly deposits on face.

In brief , I love this brush and it is my Top Favorite brush , It is a multi-tasker.

It shedds a bit, perhaps more in the beginning but shedding is stopped after few washes, and I only experienced shedding of black bristles.

PROS:

1.Multi-Purpose

2.Soft bristles

3.Gives airbrush finish

4.Large handle, easy to hold

5.Blends foundation very flawlessly

CONS:

1.Pricey 

2.Shedds bristles

Will I purchase again ?

No , because I love this brush and I will use it very safely and will take care of it , so that I can use it for years.. Its pricey for me , to buy one more from MAC 

Hope u like my review

REVIEW : Sigma Face & Eyes Brush Kit

My lovely Brushes 

Hello girls , I am very excited today to present you this lovely review .. This review is long overdue.

I was not just getting time to post it , I was tooooooo busy experimenting with my lovely brushes :)

I am reviewing Face & Eyes Kit .. Its available for $54 on Sigma Website. These brushes can be purchased separately too but that will cost $78 .. So I think this kit is a great deal :D

I think they are worth the money .. I totally recommend them , Never ever in my life have used such great and wonderful brushes :)

Sigma new numbering is like this :

E brushes -- For eyes

F brushes -- For face

L brush --    For lips

I have fallen in love with this kit , ever since I have got it  :) .. It's very useful and all the brushes are like which I use almost daily :)

As the Sigma says : 6 professional quality brushes for a complete makeover! The essentials you need to apply makeup to eyes and face.

Packaging:

I got this in perfectly wrapped parcel in which there was a black pouch , and all my dear brushes were inside that pouch :) External wrapping was excellent and none of my brush seemed to be damaged or mishandled :)

FACE BRUSHES:

Large Powder - F30 : 

At first , I thought this a very big brush .. I mean really big , I thought what I"ll do of this much huge brush .. :P

It has a rounded top .. It has got dense bristles .. But it's also kinda fluffy , and it's perfect for applying powder products on face and body .. It has got natural bristles that's why I love it .. I am using this brush for quite a long time now , but it has never shed a single hair :) $16 if purchased individually.

I use this to apply :
My MAC Sheer Pressed Powder

My bronzer ( Perfect for applying bronzer :)

My loose powder 

My mineral Foundation powder 

Duo Fibre - F50 :

I simply love this stippling brush , I had been crazy for this when I got it , almost all times using this , applying literally anything on my face :D ... It's ideal to apply very pigmented products on your face , It knows things which other brushes don't :) .. It picks up exactly the ideal amount of product and does not make you look like a clown .. specially if you are going to apply very pink or rose colored blushes. It is a very soft brush , and unlike other stippling brushes , It never gave off any hair :) It is a blend of synthetic and natural bristles .. White ones are synthetic and black ones are natural bristles. It gives an "airbrushed" finish when I apply my liquid foundation with this :)

$16 if purchased individually.

I use this to apply :

My liquid foundation

My mousse foundation

My Powder , Creme and Mousse blushes

My highlighter on cheeks ( sometimes )

My creme bronzer

Buffer - F45 :

Again a wonderful brush , fluffy but very dense. It feels soft and smooth on face.

It is made of natural bristles , $19 if purchased individually.

It is great to apply mineral foundations , loose or pressed powders , as Sigma suggests :)

It is also great to buff colors onto the skin so as to get an even , flawless , blended look :)

I use this :

To apply my loose powder

To buff my mineral foundation on face

To apply my liquid bronzer ( tanner ) on my neck and arms

EYE BRUSHES:

Eye Shading - E55 :

It is a soft and dense brush with natural bristles . It has got a rounded finish.  This brush is one single brush I carry with my all the times :) .. It can be used to apply pressed and loose eye shadows and pigments.

$9 if purchased individually. It gives an intense look of shadows , so highly recommended.

I use this to apply my pressed eye shadows mostly.

Pencil brush - E30 :

It is mainly designed to work on your crease and inner corners of eyes.

It has also got natural bristles , $9 if purchased individually.

Sigma suggests this brush for precise application of color on crease , outer corner and upper and lower lash lines. It is also great to smudge out pencil liner , which is best function of this brush for me :)

Tapered Blending - E40 :

This brush has got rounded and tapered top , made with natural bristles , costs $9 if purchased individually.

It is specially designed to apply and blend color on the crease.

I use this :

To apply and blend colors on my crease 

To apply highlighter on brow bone and cheek bone too 

To apply creme concealer ( sometimes )

OTHER FACTS :

1. I never noticed any fading of bristles in any brush .

2. Some face brushes can shed , depending upon how you are using that , but so far , my face brushes did not shed.

3. They had a smell once I got them , I deep cleaned them with my MAC brush cleanser and then washing with baby shampoo .. after 2 washes , I did not notice any smell.

4. These brushes are multi-functional , you can use them for any purpose depending upon your own creativity.

5. These brushes have got solid , heavy handles .. I love to hold them :)
