Quality of bristles is amazing, but brushes are poorly cut
I ordered my brushes off of Ebay, not Amazon, but the product is exactly the same. I bought the 7-piece brush set (which actually came with an extra eyeliner brush) mostly for the large powder brush and the cheek/blush brush, which caught my attention because of how dense and full they looked in the product image. Upon closer inspection, however, I realized that both the brushes had been very shoddily cut; there is a small tuft of bristles sticking out of the powder brush and the cheek brush is missing a chunk of bristles in the upper right-hand corner of the brush head. Not huge problems for someone who doesn't care too much about aesthetics, but I was disappointed with the craftsmanship reflected in these two brushes. Additionally, the blush brush looks very little like the brush in the picture: it is smaller than I thought it would be and doesn't seem like it would be so effective in blending product on the cheeks. (I have not tested out any of the brushes in this set.)<br />Nonetheless, the brushes themselves are very soft (think rabbit fur) and sturdy, though the bristles of the 4 smallest brushes in the set are somewhat stiff and inflexible, and are more plastic-y than fur-like. I really like the wooden handles and the silver ferrules these brushes have, and, had I been given brushes that were more uniform in size and appearance with respect to the product image, I would keep them without hesitation. I will be returning these as I feel that the product I was given does not reflect the product shown in the image.
