***************************************UPDATE*************************************************************************************The seller contacted me in regard to my review. She was disappointed they were defective and quickly sent a new set for revaluation. It is FAR sturdier than my original set. All brushes were secured to the handles and they even felt sturdier--like maybe the metal was crimped a little stronger. They just didn't feel floppy like the first set. I do think it's due to the bad glue job on the original set. I didn't notice a difference in the amount of product used between the two sets They are phenomenal for powder, but I still looked slapped when I tried it with my Mally's liquid blush. I did increase my review from 3 to 4 stars. As I stated in my review the set does not contain eyeliner and lipstick brushes so I did deduct a star for that. The outside packaging specifies that the smaller brushes are for powdered eye shadows but the inner brush guide refers to them as concealer, primer or foundation brushes. Again, they are easily used for eye shadow and I've been happily using them for eye shadows for months now. I think the brush guide needs to be updated so that the smaller brushes are referred to as eye shadow brushes. For people new to brushes or a young teen trying to learn to use brushes it may be confusing. Again, I've been using brushes for over 20 years, I might just be anal. I think it's a great for powdered products. I wish it had eyeliner and lipstick brushes. If it did, I'd likely give it 5 stars and consider it a fabulous every day typical user set. If you plan to use the brushes for liquids or gel like products, I would look for a more professional set. In an effort to be transparent, I did leave the original review below.***********************************************************************************************************************************************************Original ReviewI've been using makeup brushes for well over 20 years and will be the first to admit I might be a bit anal when it comes to my brushes.As I was unwrapping each brush 5--yes 5 brushes were not glued to the wooden handle. Some of the remainders are wobbly. Since I prefer a shorter brush, this wasn't much of an issue except that when I order a product, I expect it to have some kind of quality control and 5 brushes not attached to a handle isn't quality control. Mind you, with a glue gun, this is easily remedied, but still they were not attached.The brushes themselves are o.k. They are very soft, but I find that softness sometimes doesn't mean they function well. For example when using a Mally's liquid blush, it used far more than I would normally use and left my face looking like I had been slapped.Yes, there are a lot of brushes but if you look at what they're for, how many do you really need or will you use for foundation or concealer etc? What I didn't see and was EXTREMELY disappointed with was that a lip brush wasn't included nor were any for eyeliner??? Those of us that refuse to use the crappy applicators in the packaging know how important it is to have a good quality eyeliner, lipstick and eye shadow brushes. Yes, you can use some of the smaller brushes for eyeshadow and truthfully you can use any of these anyway you like. . but when I get a kit of make up brushes I want an eyeliner, lipstick and several eyeshadow brushes. . . not 10 that work for foundation and concealer. If you are new to using make up brushes this is probably a nice beginner set for you to try them out and to maybe have a good powder or blush brush on hand. If you are an experienced brush user, I'd pass and find something more professional.

So, I'm 37 years old and have been using the brushes that come with the makeup products I purchase (I'm talking the little bitty brushes that they include in the little compacts) and I thought it was time to graduate to actual brushes that real adults use to apply makeup! I didn't want to spend a lot on my first set so I did a lot of browsing and came across this set. I purchased the brushes in black/silver (you can choose gold or silver accents). They arrived quickly and were packaged in a cute little ziplock pouch. The back of the packaging had a graphic of each brush and what it is designed to be used for (which was helpful because some of them are similar). Overall, I love this set. The brushes are sturdy - no bristles falling out, very soft, and a nice size for your hands. I have not used all of the brushes yet, as I don't apply heavy makeup most days, but the 5 or 6 that I have used, I am quite impressed. I like the little pouch that they came in, as I can store the brushes I'm not using inside to keep the clean and damage free. I will definitely purchase these again if and when they wear out. Very pleased!

I got these makeup brushes for my mother, who is someone that believes she cannot leave the house without makeup. She is in no way, shape, or form a makeup artist or a professional. These are our combined impressions of these brushes.I, personally think it is a good value for that many brushes, and they seem well made. What irritated me though, is that the brushes came with a list of what is what, as well as pictures and names of each brush on the back of the bag. Well guess what? The list and the back of the bag don't agree. We didn't get two of the brushes listed on that list, yet all of the ones in the back were correct. So there is a bit of an issue with consistency.My mother would like to add that these brushes get stiff really fast after using them a few times, but she is overall satisfied with how they work. Apparently she has been using one to apply liquid foundation, and it goes on flawlessly. We are quite satisfied with this product, but just wanted to point out the few issues we did find so that you can make an educated decision.

Super quick shipping with Prime, received in about 36 hours. Great packaging with detailed identification of brushes and recommended use, on the bag and a separate card. My favorite is the Tapered Brush which is perfect for liquid foundation application. I even mixed in some moisturizer with my foundation and it was really smooth and held the foundation well. I did lose about 20 bristles during the first use of this brush, but pulled them out and the brush still looked and worked fine. The handles are substantial and not too long (which I prefer). The variety is good for foundation and color, but I will need to supplement with another set for detail brow and eyeliner work. Great for replacing those brushes you never clean - throw them out and get these. Excellent value for the money.

These brushes seem well-made and at a GREAT price! What I love most about them is that it is truly a complete set--there's nothing else you'll need if you buy these. I loved how they were individually packaged, and I admit the cheat sheet was pretty helpful for me since I wasn't sure what they were all for, to be honest! I've never had such a complete set of brushes before. The bristles don't fall out as you use them, and they wash up pretty easily as well. The handles are easy to grip, and you can either display them on your make up desk/counter or you can throw them in a bag to store them. (Or, you can keep them in the bag they came in--bonus!) This would be a perfect gift for lots of folks, from the teenager in your life who is just starting to become familiar with make up, all the way to the seasoned make up pro.
