\nSigma<\/strong><\/em>: The brand that started off their business with brushes. People loved the brushes.
\nThe brand that after that, started releasing makeup palettes. People loved the palettes.
\nAnd now Sigma<\/em> decided to make life even more fun with their new “Eye Shadow Bases<\/em>“.
\n..my guess is that people, again, will love these.<\/p>\n

9<\/strong><\/em> yummy, deliciously good-looking shades with colors ranging from lovely nudes<\/em>, to daring darks<\/em> and something<\/em> that matches glamours<\/em> ;)
\n
\nThe eyeshadow bases are available in kits of three or you can purchase them individually.
\nFrom the three kits “Flare”<\/em><\/strong> was the kit I received.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nI absolutely love the packaging of the kits. They’re cute, compact and you kinda feel like a glamorous plumber going to work. – (yes, I went there, haha)<\/em><\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at what’s inside of “Flare”<\/strong><\/em>:
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nSigma Eye Shadow Base Kit: \u201cFlare\u201d \u2013 ($36.00 USD \/ \u20ac26,58 EUR)<\/strong><\/em> –<\/span>
\nLeft to Right: “Pursue” Shimmery Purple – “Spy” Duo-Chrome Green\/Maroon – “Provoke” Matte Nude\/Peach<\/sup>
\nI really like the mix of colors “Flare” <\/em>has. The purple called “Pursue”<\/em> has to be my favorite of the three. It’s truly stunning and such an eye-catcher. “Spy”<\/em> is a 100% dupe for MAC’s “Club”<\/em> eyeshadow, but ofcourse “Spy”<\/em> is creamy and long-lasting. “Provoke”<\/em> is just a really pretty nude color, great for evening out the eyelid.<\/p>\n

The other colors I got came packaged individually, so I can’t show you the packaging of their kit-version. Here’s how the individual eyebases come packaged:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nSigma Eye Shadow Base Kit: \u201cBare\u201d \u2013 ($36.00 USD \/ \u20ac26,58 EUR)<\/strong><\/em> –<\/span>
\nLeft to Right: “Sculpt” Shimmery Charcoal – “Pose” Shimmery Brown – “Persuade” Matte Nude<\/sup>
\nJust like the eyeshadow palette of “Bare”<\/em> the eyebase kit is geared more towards neutral looks. My favorite definitely is “Pose”<\/em> but that’s because I’m a shimmery brown obsessed freak. “Sculpt”<\/em> is perfect for cool-toned smokey eyes and again “Persuade”<\/em> is one of those great natural colors, great for evening out the eyelids.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nSigma Eye Shadow Base Kit: \u201cDare\u201d \u2013 ($36.00 USD \/ \u20ac26,58 EUR)<\/strong><\/em> –<\/span>
\nLeft to Right: “Dash” Matte Plum – “Strike” Shimmery Burgundy – “Unveil” Shimmery Gold<\/sup>
\nAh, aren’t these the prettiest colors together ever?
\nI just love coppers and gold mixed with a little sexy burgundy. Choosing a favorite out of these three is a tough job. I think I’d have to go for “Dash”<\/em> it will be stunning for a smoldery purple\/burgundy eye. This defnitely is the ultimate party-look<\/em> kit. The copper screams glamour!<\/p>\n

I think what I love most about these is their amazing texture. They are all super smooth, creamy and pigmented. Easy to blend but once set, they’re set!<\/p>\n

Fun Note:<\/em><\/span> Sigma’s attention to detail is spectacular, even their lids have a cute leaf print:
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nSo, What\u2019s the verdict?<\/em><\/span>
\nI’m actually kinda blown away by Sigma’s <\/em>new Eye Shadow Bases<\/em>. What got me the most was their amazing texture and pigmentation. Another huge plus is that these aren’t outrageously expensive as you pay $36.00 USD \/ \u20ac26,58 EUR<\/em><\/span> for a kit of three,
\nand $13.00 USD \/ \u20ac9,60 EUR<\/em><\/span> for one single eye shadow base. – I’M A FAN! :)<\/p>\n
