What the gurus are saying

This rubber pad pulls off product from brushes far better than paper towels, making it easy to switch between creams and powders or eyeshadow colors on the same brush without changing tools. Makeup artists and anyone layering multiple shades find it locks makeup in place and prevents products from disappearing, though it works best when you remember to reach for it instead of defaulting to a paper towel.

    "Okay, I'm going to dust off that same brush onto my Sigma Switch, which, if you don't have one of these, you really need one. I have it on my desk at all times. It just is great for switching colors on your brushes. I'll link it down below. I'm going to take this color right here, this kind of champagne shade, and I'm going to try something that I recently learned from Nikki L Rose, which is to highlight a little bit further in, almost on the side of your nose."

    "I love this thing by the way. If you're a makeup artist or if you film, you need this, the Sigma Switch. It just kind of takes off any leftover eyeshadow so you can keep using the same brush and blend or go between colors and not stress too much about it."

    "Sometimes I forget to use my Sigma Switch and I like reach for a paper towel. I always have a paper towel in case I like spill stuff, [...] but it just doesn't work. It doesn't work as well. This is so good. It's just like this rubber, if you didn't know, it's just this little rubber pad. This [...] just pulls off all that product so you can switch between shades without changing your brush, which is the point of this."

    Makeup is literally MAGIC
    "I like this as an option to mix when I'm working with my cheekbones. [...] This really helps pull off all that product a hell of a lot better than a paper towel if you're someone who uses paper towels. You can switch between creams and powders, which is what this brush is meant for. [...] This is really going to lock them in place. If you're someone who struggles with your makeup disappearing, it really creates that undeniable dimension when you layer light layers of creams and powders."

    "I'm going to use my Sigma Switch, my mini, my travel one, and just take off the excess and then just go in and buff, because I feel like I'm building it up a little more than I wanted."

    "What's really great about the Sigma Switch, obviously you saw me use it a ton to switch between shades, but what's cool about it is you can use it to wash your brushes too. If you have brush soap, or a little bit of dish soap, which is usually what I use, just take it into the bathroom, put it in your sink, put a little drizzle of soap and water in it, and it gets your brushes nice and clean."
    Please don't hate me...it's the holidays
    "So I'm just going to use my Sigma Switch to buff this off. [...] I'm going to dip into this and [...] use it to add a little bit of a grounding shade just above my crease. [...] I'm not going to take it into this area. I'm going to focus it all here to push back, so I'm doing a little bit of contouring and shaping before we start going into color. I feel like I've talked about this a million times, but with my eye anatomy, I have this large plane here, and it's kind of light."
