Sigma Beauty teamed up with blogger Jackie Aina with a brush set that you’re going to need to add to your kit ASAP

If you’re just building your kit you know how intimidating the world of makeup brushes can be. With so many different shapes and sizes, it can be a real challenge to determine which ones work best. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some sort of cheat sheet to makeup brushes? Cut the bs, which ones do we really really need and which can we do without?

Sigma Beauty’s collab with beauty blogger Jackie Aina is the next best thing to having a makeup artist hold your hand in the beauty aisle. Set to launch on March 20th, the five-brush set will feature Jackie’s favorite Sigma Beauty brushes, which can be used to do an entire face of makeup.

Jackie announced the collab with an IG vid showing how she uses each brush in the set.

In the video, Jackie starts by buffing in Clinique’s Beyond Perfecting Foundation, $28, (the most slept on foundation EVER) with the F80 Flat Kabuki Brush, $25. The Flat Kabuki is super dense but still soft. The flat head makes for excellent application on the flat parts of the face like the forehead and cheeks.

In the caption she writes, “E20 Short Shader is the only brush I can use along by bottom lash line for my huge bulgy eyes, also works amazing when blending liner!” You can find E38 and E20 on SigmaBeauty.com for $17 and $15 respectively.
