NEW! Beauty Expert - Brow Design Kit

After much anticipation, we’re excited to announce the official launch of the Beauty Expert - Brow Design Kit! This exclusive and convenient brow kit contains all of the arching, shaping and grooming tools you'll need to achieve beautiful and defined brows. Eyebrows frame the face and complete your look, so why not make perfect brows an essential part of your beauty ritual? Today we’ll show you how!

Before you begin grooming your brows with the tools inside the kit, it’s important to note what each tool is for and how they're used.

In the kit you will find:

Scissors: specially designed with the perfect length and blade shape for trimming brows. Ideal for trimming long and out-of-place hairs.

Tweezers: the pointed and angled edge of this tool makes for easy removal of unwanted hair – a necessity for maintaining groomed and well-defined brows.

Brow Stencils (small, medium & large): achieve the perfect symmetrical brow shape! These durable stencils create a template made for easy trimming, filling and shaping of eyebrows. With three different sizes, there is a perfect match for everyone.

Duo-ended Brow Pencil (medium / dark): defines brows and adds color. This pencil applies product smoothly and blends easily. The medium shade suits light to medium hair; the dark shade is best for medium to dark hair.

Duo-ended Highlighting Pencil (matte / shimmer): perfect for accentuating the brow bone and defining the brow’s arch. Use the matte side to create a soft highlight; use the shimmer side to produce a subtle glow.

 

Pencil Sharpener: keeps brow pencils sharpened and well-shaped for a seamless application.

Brow Powder: creates full, natural-looking eyebrows. Builds further definition and intensity of eyebrows when layered on top of brow pencil application. 

• Bella: creates a soft, subtle and slightly warm brow. Ideal for light to medium blonde hair.
• Chloe: adds a tint of auburn to any brow color for a softening effect. Ideal for strawberry blonde to light auburn-hued hair.

• Valentina: produces a strong and bold effect to achieve the most intense brows. Ideal for dark brunette to black hair.

Duo Brow Gel (clear / tinted): this lightweight gel keep brows in place all day. Use the clear gel for the most natural look or the tinted gel to provide added color and intensity.  

Dual-Ended Brow Brush (E80 wand / E75 angled brush): use the wand (E80) to brush through brows to target any misplaced hairs; use the angled brush (E75) to apply brow powder to any sparse areas that need filling in.

Easy Eyebrow Grooming Guide:

1. Place the Brow Stencil over your eyebrow, lining the outer edge closest to your nose parallel with your inner eye. Trace along the inside of the stencil using the Brow Pencil.
2. With the tweezers, remove any hair outside of the line made with the Brow Pencil.
3. Take the E80 of your dual-ended brow brush and brush through eyebrows. This allows you to pinpoint any stray hairs that will need to be trimmed.
4. Use the scissors to trim any out-of-place or long hairs.
5. Taking the brow powder that best matches your hair color, apply to any part of the eyebrow that you want to give more definition or color to.
6. Keep brows in place with a light application of brow gel.
7. Finally, accentuate your brow bone by applying the highlighting pencil under the arch of the eyebrow.

Paris Project: macNC40

Suzy is a 27-year-old lover of all things beauty. From the heart of Los Angeles, she has been performing her self-taught makeup skills since 2002. Her main audience consists of teens and young adults who look up to her creative and fun talent shared on all of her social networking sites. 

Suzy does makeup for weddings, proms, online makeup tutorials, and other beauty-related events. Amongst her great experiences, the opportunity to work with some amazing brands and being a part of the Sigma Paris Makeup Palette collaboration are at the top of her list.

Suzy’s favorite makeup look? Bold and intense eyes with a toned-down lip. “There is no absolute standard of beauty. Makeup is a way to express yourself and how you're feeling, so have fun with it!”

“The most important part for me is just being able to make someone feel good about themselves. I have received messages from girls who say they've never felt pretty about themselves and to hear that I had a positive impact on their confidence is really endearing.  Also, forming unexpected bonds and friendships with people who share the same passion as me has been very rewarding. Some of my closest friends are those whom I've met through the beauty industry.”

Sigma Beauty: What was the most rewarding part about your trip to Paris?

Suzy: Being able to work in such an amazing city, with such wonderful people!

There's nothing better than working with a company and friends that share the same passion as you, especially in Paris of all places.

Sigma Beauty: What did you like best about the city itself?

Suzy: The architecture! Everything in Paris looked like art. I love the culture and really appreciate how they preserve their buildings.

Sigma Beauty: What did you learn from this experience/collaboration with Sigma?

Suzy: Sigma is a very detail oriented company and I have the utmost respect for them!  They really care about their customers, and are very passionate about getting things exactly how we envisioned. They are amazing!

Sigma Beauty: What was it like to learn about the process of how an eye shadow palette and eye shadow colors are created?

Suzy: It was really interesting. I didn't realize how many steps there could be to create something from scratch! There's a lot of hard work in creating something and getting it just right. I was staring at pantone colors for the longest time trying to figure out which shade I thought represented Orsay.

Sigma Beauty: What is your favorite way to wear the eye shadow color that you created?

Suzy: I love wearing it as the main color on my lids. It's such a fun and bright color! It's definitely attention getting. I feel like it's one of those colors where someone would ask you, "What's that you're wearing on your eyes? I need it!" ;)

Paris Project: Petrilude

Loud! Bold! Drag! Petrilude (aka Josh) is a 27-year-old natural born talent living in NYC. Since his start on YouTube back in 2006, Josh has been creating eccentric, out-of-the-box looks, including his intricate Halloween makeup tutorials that are always a huge hit.

He says his audience is made up of "anyone and everyone!" His advice for those venturing into the makeup world is, “It’s only makeup so have fun with it and try new things and if it doesn't work, wash it off.” 

Josh has had the honor of being invited to do makeup for multiple runway shows for fashion week four seasons in a row.  His most memorable experience in the beauty industry has been “the opportunity to meet many of the people I look up to in the industry for tips and tricks... also finding out that some of them watch my videos and learn from me.” 

Sigma Beauty: What was the most rewarding part about your trip to Paris?

Josh: Getting to know more about the other YouTubers I was on the trip with and seeing how alike everyone is even though we're all so different.

Sigma Beauty: What did you like best about the city itself?

Josh: The architecture! There's so much history in all of the buildings, it's amazing to see how well-preserved everything is.

Sigma Beauty: What did you learn from this experience/collaboration with Sigma?

Josh: I learned so much about Paris' history while seeing all of the sights, and traveling around the city. I also learned that a lot more goes into making an eye shadow/palette than you would think.

Sigma Beauty: What was it like to learn about the process of how an eye shadow palette and eye shadow colors are created?

Josh: It's crazy! Most people think you just go "oh I want a blue" and go from there. But there are so many different shades, so many different finishes, and unlimited possibilities of stuff you can do to make a color. Then when you consider the fact that you have to make it all cohesive, add in blush colors, etc., it makes it even crazier! It was cool to see and be a part of the process, and knowing how much work actually goes into it makes me appreciate it all that much more.

Sigma Beauty: What is your favorite way to wear the eye shadow color that you created?

Josh: Either as a smokey eye, a pop of color in the crease, or used as an eyeliner.

Paris Project: frmheadtotoe

Jen is a 27-year-old YouTube beauty guru who has been creating easy-to-follow, everyday makeup tutorials since 2008. Her audience is made up of mostly females, ages 13-34 with a large portion of her subscribers English-speaking Asians around the world. Jen describes her signature makeup style as wearable but fun by changing it up with bright colors and dramatic eyeliner. 

Jen’s educational background is in Industrial Design with an emphasis in Psychology, however, she thoroughly enjoys her work as a freelance makeup artist. Her career highlight in the makeup industry has been traveling. “The opportunity to be able to visit places I’ve never been before and see things I’ve never seen has been amazing.” Her most memorable experience was visiting IMATS LA for the first time last year; she describes it as a “kid in a candy store” experience. 

 
Sigma Beauty: What was the most rewarding part about your trip to Paris?

Jen: The most rewarding part was getting to meet and become friends with some of my favorite YouTubers. Everyone got along really well which made the trip so much more exciting and enjoyable!

Sigma Beauty:  What did you like best about the city itself?

Jen: The best part was definitely getting to absorb all of the sights and sounds of each place we visited. There are so many beautiful things to see from the monuments to just the people themselves. I'm a big people watcher so I had fun checking out the fashion and classic style of Parisians.

Sigma Beauty: What did you learn from this experience/collaboration with Sigma?

Jen: I learned that creating any product, especially beauty-related, takes a lot of trial and error to get the perfect result. There are a lot of samples that you have to go through to get exactly what you want. It makes me respect anyone who works in this field because you really have to have a clear idea of what you want and the patience to get there!

Sigma Beauty: What was it like to learn about the process of how an eye shadow palette and eye shadow colors are created?

Jen: It was very cool to get an insider's look. We swatched several different samples we had to work with, and mixed 10% of this color with another color or took two different blushes to make one that was flattering on everyone. The great part is we got to have everyone's feedback and experiences at the same time which was very unique and valuable.

Sigma Beauty: What is your favorite way to wear the eye shadow color that you created?

Jen: I love using it on top of a dark cream base to really pull out the duo-chrome effect. It also looks great for contouring in the crease!

Paris Project: DulceCandy87

From LA, 24-year-old Dulce has had her career in the beauty spotlight for more than three years. With no formal training, she has taught herself the ins and outs of perfecting the artistry of makeup. She has since become one of the most renowned beauty gurus and inspirational figures to young women across the world thanks to YouTube. Her target audience ranges from ages 17-24 with the majority of her videos focusing on beauty product hauls and tutorials, all inspired by the most current trends.

Dulce’s favorite day-to-day look consists of the classic cat eye, lots of mascara and a pink lip. Her take on beauty is inspired by the Sophia Loren quote, "Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.”

With currently more than 100 million views on YouTube and nearly 150K fans on Facebook, Dulce has undoubtedly become one of the top fashion and beauty icons for the social media generation. Her delightful presence has been featured among several publications and events including Seventeen Magazine, Nylon Magazine, Sigma Beauty Paris Project, NYX display at Ulta, the cover of The Stylist Handbook, and Regard Magazine. She was also named "Official Blogger" for the LA Fashion Night Out 2011 and selected as a recent judge for the Miss California 2012 pageant. 

Dulce's YouTube channel is not only an outlet to express her various passions and creativity, but also her way of inspiring other girls to feel more beautiful and take on a higher self-esteem.

One of Dulce’s most memorable moments in the beauty industry was having the chance to visit Paris for the Sigma Beauty Paris Project. “It will forever be an inspirational experience that I will never forget."

Sigma Beauty: What was the most rewarding part about your trip to Paris?

Dulce: Exploring the city with a group of creative individuals! It's always been a dream of mine to travel to Paris. To be able to do this while working on this project was definitely a dream come true for me. 

Sigma Beauty: What did you like best about the city itself?

Dulce: I loved EVERYTHING, but if I could only choose one thing I would have to say that I loved the history. There's so much to learn and appreciate. The architecture was phenomenal. 

  

Sigma Beauty: What did you learn from this experience/collaboration with Sigma?

Dulce: I learned a lot just being surrounded by the other gurus, especially when we had a creative meeting in Paris. They would pick up on things I would have never noticed. 

Sigma Beauty: What was it like to learn about the process of how an eye shadow palette and eye shadow colors are created? 

Dulce: I learned that the process of creating one single color alone takes a lot of work. From the idea at hand, to the final desired swatch, it's a long process but it's great to see the final product.

Sigma Beauty: What is your favorite way to wear the eye shadow color that you created?

Dulce: I really appreciated the fact that we were able to feel inspired by our monument. My location was the Champs-Élysées and I feel that my color represents that strip quite well. My favorite way to wear this shadow is on the crease, either alone during the day or a bit more present for a night look.
