These brushes are soft and I do love the case and as a Beauty Guide I'd say more for beginners some shed like the little fan but some seem better quality would be a great gift for a teen starting out with more makeup I still use mine too though I can never have enough brushes !!! For the price they are pretty good ?These brushes are great. Easy to clean, long lasting BUT!!! They are NOT full size!! I have bought at least 5 sets but this last set is NOT reg. size. I have long fingers and they are going to end up being given as gifts to friends. They are shorter.not the best top quality product - but a great starter kit or everyday useThe brushes are good and soft :) The shipping came in early and it's really nice. There are some brushes that have for the same use, basically about 4 brushes are the same for the same use.They came individually wrapped with is very nice ?? and they are very soft and good Quality overall but they do have a little bit of a Chemical smell.... so that’s really the only down side <3 hope this helped.Se lo regale a mi esposa y me comento que ha sido una gran inversion. Las cerdas son suaves y agarran bastante pigmentacion , es muy completa . La proporcion calidad precio es muy buena. Solo que algunas brochas aun estan muy duras.These brushes have held up against time, and an unexperianced makeup artist... Would buy again.I like the brushes. Even though it comes with A LOT of brushes some of the brushes I would normally use does not come in this pack. Otherwise, the color was really nice.Product as described, no fuss, quick delivery.. love the colour thank you (^^;)
