How To Stop Make Up Brushes from Shedding

I was starting to get really frustrated with my Sigma large powder brush because it was shedding like crazy. Any time I applied powder my face was covered with bristles it was so annoying and time consuming because I had to stop my routine to get all the bristles off my face. So I bought a MAC 150 and that was great for a few months (about 8) then that started to shed too! I turned to sephora and picked up their large power brush since the bristles are white I figured if that shed no biggie.

Normally I would clean my brushes with either the MAC cleaner and a paper towel and then once every two weeks I would deep clean then with aveeno shampoo. Well one day I accidentally grabbed the aveeno conditioner instead of the shampoo and figured Oooh well it's not that big of a deal the sigma and MAC 150 were already dead to me. After they dried the bristles were super soft so I used it once more and omg my problem was solved. No more shedding. Seriously, shedding stopped completely!!!

So if your brushes are shedding, they might need a little moisturizer so wash them with a bit of gentle conditioner and see if that helps.

Sigma Brush Review

The original blog is no longer active, but I wanted to write that my initial review was positive however in the youtube comment section of the video there was a rep for Sigma that was very rude and mean to some of my subscribers.  That sparked my initial dislike for Sigma.  Then I had a LOT of issues with the brushes and have essentially given up on the customer service.  Would I recommend them? I can't really say yes or no because its been two years since I've dealt with them and a lot can change in that time.

Dislikes:

• Shedding: the face brushes shed like crazy! I stopped using the 150 because after I used it I would look like I was growing crazy insane facial hair!
• Color fading of the black brushes
• Customer Service:  Any company rep that would be mean to one of my subscribers on my video comments is just not professional and makes me think less of the company.

Likes:

• Eye brushes: they are pretty good EXCEPT the black blender brush (I can't find it on the site any more), they shed and fade and are just not worth using.
