Not as bad !
I recently received my order. As soon as I opened I got the paint smell but that went away within a few seconds. Started looking at the brushes and saw some were repeated but that's okay, doesn't hurt to have extras ! Also saw that the big fan brush bristles or hair were falling out even on the contouring and blush. The rest were okay. You are getting what your paying for. So I guess I would recommend this to those who want low priced brush set !
