Sigma Performance Eyes Kit – Review

Sigma Performance Eyes kit is exactly what I need right now. I was wondering about these a while back – the kinda brushes that would allow to add tiny and precise details to your eye makeup. I consider myself very new to makeup; I love experimenting and practicing eye makeup. Lately I have been thinking to step it up a notch and do something extraordinary. So glad Sigma came up with it.

The Performance Eyes Kit
The Performance Eyes Kit was designed to allow the precise application of liquid, cream and powder products onto defined areas of the eyes. Essential to creating elaborate looks, the Performance Eyes Kit is a must for advanced makeup artistry.

Smudge - E21

Smudge - E21
I really like this brush; it's my favorite actually. It does what it says; smudges shadows and cream eyeliners just perfectly the way you'd want. What I like doing with it (on a daily basis) is that I line and smudge eyeshadow on my eyes and apply a defined eyeliner on top which looks amazing. Sometimes I use it on my lower lid to create a reverse smoky look. It's flat with soft bristles.

Eye Liner - E11

Eye Liner - E11
This eye liner brush is thinner and smaller than the standard Sigma eye liner brush. I like to line my eyes thick but there are days when I feel like going for an au naturale look. This brush helps in achieving that, trust me. It applies liner so thin that it's hardly noticeable. Try to line as close to the upper lash line as possible and stop halfway leaving the inner corners; apply a mascara and there you go! If you're someone who loves creating bold and loud looks, this brush can really be helpful in creating precise designs on the eyes and face.

Tightline Liner - E16

For some reason, I am not keen on tight lining my eyes very often maybe because I find it difficult (or troublesome) but this brush makes it easier. I like how this brush is designed; the handle gets thick on the end giving good control of what you're doing.

Shader - Crease - E47
This tapered shader brush is a good addition to the collection; it's quite useful. As the name suggests, it should be used to apply a darker shadow on the crease. The bristles are soft and doesn't feel harsh on the skin. I like that it's tapered; it helps in precise application of eye shadow on the crease.

Waterline Liner - E17
This is my second favorite brush from the kit. I have always had trouble applying a gel liner on the lower lid; either I line too thick, too thin or sometimes unevenly. This brush is flat with soft bristles and the shape of the brush remains firm i.e. the bristles won't scatter during application of eye shadows or cream liners ending in a perfect line.

Shader - Inner Corner - E46

Shader - Inner Corner - E46 
The Shader - Inner Corner is tapered which means spot-on application of eye shadow on the inner corners however the bristles feel a bit harsh on the skin. I suggest washing the brush before use as the bristles come a bit glued together and you might not get it to work the way you'd want.

Shader - Lid - E56

Shader - Lid - E56 
This is not as wide as the standard Sigma Shader brush. I don't like to apply a single shade with it all over my lid as it takes plenty of time but I believe if you're dealing with say two or three shades, this would help in an accurate application. Again, the bristles aren't soft and feel somewhat harsh on the skin as opposed to the standard Sigma Shader brush (that I love).

Blending - E36

Blending - E36 
I love the standard Sigma blending brush (one that's tapered too). This one is smaller and less dense. I agree with Sigma about using this on small areas of the eye (like blending two colors near the inner corners). This brush is flexible and soft but sadly, mine sheds a little.

All in all, the Performance Eyes Kit is amazing and costs $55.00. If you're someone who's a makeup enthusiast, aspiring makeup artist or a makeup artist, these brushes will come in handy for sure. If you're new to makeup, you might not need it. This kit is a great help to take your makeup to another level.
