Victoria Stiles Teams With Sigma Makeup for a Giveaway

June 9, 2010 announcements No comments

This industry is so exciting to be in, especially when I get the opportunity to meet new cosmetic companies as well as, my favorite, brush manufacturers.  I could not do what I do without a makeup brush, not just any brush, a quality product that will not fall apart.  Throughout my career, I’ve tried just about any and every makeup brush and, of course, I have my favorites.  Recently I was introduced to Sigma Makeup Brushes.  The company graciously sent me a set so I put them to the test.  This was almost two months ago now and I’m happy to report they have earned a spot in my kit!  They are comparable to major makeup brand brushes, but the price is not, they are way less than M.A.C., Bobbi Brown, etc.

In celebration of this fabulous find, I’m pleased to announce the company has offered me 2 sets for a contest to run on my beauty blog, Makeup Artist Backstage. The contest, posted today, is set to run through June 30, 2010 and the winner will be announced on July 1, 2010.
