Hello my pretties, how are your snuggly winters going on, well it’s not actually that chilly yet, but I yet want to snuggle under a fluffy blanket, oh a fluffy blanket reminds me of a fluffy blending brush, hallelujah. .!!! Don’t you all feel happy heart to find an exact dupe of a mac product with the quality of it being genuine as MAC, well I did as I got my hands on the sigma E25 fluffy blending brush, which is MAC 217 blending brush‘s twin sister.

Yes in terms of build, quality, performance, precision everything I find the sigma brush, to be at par with the MAC brush, tough I did find that the bristles of the SIGMA E25 seems more synthetic than the MAC 217, read on to know what all I fantasise about my SIGMA E25.

WHAT SIGMA SAYS ABOUT IT:

The Sigma Beauty Extravaganza Collection is a lavish assortment of one-of-a-kind brushes with 18K gold-plated ferrules. The E25 – Blending – 18K Gold brush was specially designed to deliver a luxurious makeup application.

Unique Feature: Wide and slightly flat, firmer bristle blender
Function: Controlled blending
Recommended Use: Blend colours together onto the lid with added control. Buff out harsh lines for a well-blended effect

Built up: For the built up of Sigma E25 brush, it feels pretty sturdy and classy in the hands, tough I can’t really make out whether the handle of the brush is plastic or wood, most probably its wooden and has a glossy black paint over it with SIGMA E25 written in holographic fonts, the neck of the brush is as usual steel but as this is the gold version, it has 18k gold plating over the steel, which is tightly glued to the handle as well as holds the bristles well, with giving them appropriate amount of flexibility, without being too loose so that the bristles shed off.

Keep me on my words for the past year I did not had a proper blending brush, anyway, I couldn’t get mac 217 because ,either  it would be out of stock, or sometimes me being poor (read all the time :p), I finally got the SIGMA E25 when luxola.com started to ship to India.

The size of the bristles, and the density is just perfect to get into the socket of your eye, it has just the perfect amount of fluffiness to blend the shadow in your crease , without making your crease colour go above the socket line, or below the socket line to overlap the lid colour, so you have a nice well blended crease colour without having to mess up your eye do.

The handle of the brush has adequate length and girth to give appropriate grip to he hands, even tough I am quite tall, but have small palms, so sometimes brushes that are extra long like the Sephora one tend to be not very comfortable with the grip, but this is just as perfect ,the gold neck makes it look ever more glossy and ecstatic.

Before this, I had a random blending brush from Sephora , using which made my crease colour overlap the lid colour, or sometimes even over blending the colour in the crease, as I have tendencies to pack the colour on my lid before doing my crease, but with my sigma I am not concerned with any overlapping.

The bristles are white in colour so they do tend to get stained with dark colours, and even if I wash them off with the MAC brush cleanser a faint tint is still to be seen on the bristle tip, but that is not to be worried as It won’t affect the shade of any other colour ,that you use as that stain doesn’t transfer .I have washed it a couple of times and haven’t noticed any shedding of bristles, also the bristles feel soft not- very soft, but just the perfect amount of soft on the delicate eye area.

For me, availability is the biggest con, now that luxola stocks these brushes, but still it isn’t easily accessible ,also I wish the brush came with a little pouch so that it would have been easy to store. You can also check out review of one of the best seller Sigma F 80 Flat Top Kabuki

Overall Thoughts

I love, literally love playing up my eyes, if asked to choose upon the part of face I enjoy doing the most, it would be the eyes, and as all of us know the secret of a good eye look is blending ,blending and more blending.

Overall ,I totally do recommend this brush, and also all the other brushes from sigma, as they have awesome quality and reasonable prices.  The E25 blending brush is a total must have for an eye makeup lover, even if you are a beginner, this brush is really easy to multi task, and fulfils it’s job pretty awesome, gives a nice blended flawless finish to my eye shadows. You can get these on luxola now or can share your order with friends to order from the sigma website as they do ship internationally , but charge shipping.

In terms of dupe diaries, it exactly functions like the MAC 217
