Sigma E25 brush review

Sigma has very kindly send me their E25 blending brush in a travel size for a review. On the Sigma website this brush is described as: 

Oval-shaped brush with gently chiseled sides. Blends and softens the look of powder or cream shadows. Ideal to apply eye shadow primer, base eye shadow colors, and blend harsh lines.

And I completely agree with them. This brush is ideal for blending either cream or powder eyeshadow into your crease and you can also use it for applying eyeshadow all over your lid or above your crease. It's basically multi purpose and the final effect is always perfect!

And here is a short demo how I used this brush. I went for a bright green look.

I applied a green cream base from the Sleek i-DIVINE Primer Palette 

 

 Then I took my Sigma blending brush and blended the harsh edges as follows:

Nicely blended edges: 

Then I applied Barry M Duzzle Dust no. 72 - Emerald

And blended again:

 

 

To finish the look I applied Urban Decay Half Baked above my crease, Mac Vanilla in my inner corners, Barry M Duzzle Dust no. 44 - Bronze at the bottom inner lash line, Mac Blacktrack fluidline as an eyeliner and Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara.

 If I had to choose only one brush from my collection it'd definitely be the blending brush!
