Great set on a budget with one caveat.
This is a great little set of brushes for the price, but there are definitely some things that could be improved here. First, these really do apply foundation (liquid and powder) very well. I've used these with K-Beauty BB creams, stick foundations (Hourglass and FitMe), FitMe and Clinique liquid foundations, and BareMinerals powder foundation. Some of these require a beauty blend-type sponge on top to get a flawless finish, but most do not. I definitely use less product using these brushes, which has a bit of a learning curve - the first couple times I looked like a weirdo with way too much caked on. I mostly use the small round and the medium oval brush. The medium oval I use for foundation and sometimes cream contour/blush. The little round brush is AMAZING for cream shadows, especially ColourPop shadows.<br /><br />These are very easy to clean and I haven't had problems with them shedding fibers after washing. This set comes with a nice little branded cotton bag for storage/travel. My *only* complaint about these is the solidity of the heads and their connection to the handles. Although mine haven't broken (yet) I feel like I have to be really gentle with these. The plastic creeks a bit when you use them and just feels fragile. I've thought about adding something like Sugru to the handles to make them sturdier, but for now they're holding up.
