"OVERALL:
Comes in a compact case (useful if your makeup bag is already full!). I absolutely love the colors of the brushes, looks clean to my eyes: gold, beige, and beautiful. I’d say this is a great basic makeup brush kit for someone who is STARTING OUT without spending a fortune on each individual brush. Practice makes perfect.

Most of the brushes I had no problem with, except the fan brush that I used for blush: I used Tarte blush (usually super pigmented), and it stayed on the fan brush and kind of applied onto my skin. Other than that… there were no bristles sticking out or leaving me slowly, weird smells, or broken parts. I wouldn’t recommend this for professionals, or make up artists: but for DAILY EVERYDAY MAKEUP APPLICATION USE. Definitely worth the money, great practice brushes for those who dream of having $150+ brushes, and perfect for the day-day makeup routine!

(IN ORDER BASED UPON THE PICTURE BELOW)
Big brush: I love it because it’s so fluffy. I don’t wear a ton of powder so I actually used this for powder highlighter lightly on my face to try out. Thankfully, I didn’t look like a shiny greasy face, but I had a nice glow!
2nd brush (I used for bronzer): This holds product well and is great for blending, if your makeup is extremely pigmented you can go easy with it instead of slabbing a ton of product on the brush.
Fan brush: Meant to clean up the face (I don’t use powder), so I used it for blush. As you can see, the blush I used still remains on the bristles a bit.
4th brush (I used for CC cream): Now I usually use an itCosmetics brush for my CC cream, but I tried this one out and it wasn’t bad. Great coverage for the most part, but it didn’t cover one of my pimples as well as I would have liked: but it did the job.
Big eyeshadow brush: I love this one! I use this for an all around basic coverage on my lids, and it definitely pulled through. It’s fluffy and it doesn’t hurt using around the sensitive areas of the eye.
6th brush: Smaller eyeshadow brush, I used this one to blend and to use darker eyeshadow colors on my face. I have hooded eyes, so I enjoyed using this one. It blended everything together nicely.
Smaller concealer brush: Great for reaching the hard corners of the eye, wasn’t pokey and didn’t suck up all the product.
8th brush: Smudge brush, good to have around. I don’t use this on the daily basis for smokey eye, but I did use it on my brow bone to highlight!
Lip brush (I believe): I used this one for eyeliner… it actually worked well just have to play with it a bit.
Mascara brush: Great to get clumps out of mascara or use to make the brows look on point, not Sharpie-esque.
Eyeliner brush: OR eyebrow gel pencil brush, which is how I used it. It definitely picks up the product, you don’t need to double dab into the pot. Lightly use it on your brows, I love it!
Last brush: I didn’t really touch it, but it might come in handy on days where I need to go to a nice event.

"This was a nice surprise. It comes in a nice leather pouch. Lots of brushes and the brushes are soft."

"The product I have just received is pretty great, the shipping was incredibly fast, infact the fastest shipping I've ever had, and I got an amazing deal on them. With that said, there are a few issues. Overall these issues are relatively small, I feel like I need to share them. Number one, the order in which I got the brushes is quite different from the picture and the pictures that other people have sent. I'm not sure if it's just a new style of how you're packaging the brushes, or a manufacturing error. Number two I feel like one of the brushes changed, again when I look at the stock photos of the brushes and the images that people sent in the review they are different, and again, I'm not sure if it's just you guys trying out new things, or a manufacturing error. Last but not least, the smell, I first noticed this when I opened it, it smells like fresh paint. It doesn't bother me that much because I'm an artist so I'm used to those smells, it was a problem that was brought up more than once in the reviews.
Altogether, I am very happy with my product, they're very high quality and they super soft. Wouldn't trade them for any other brush set!"
