Review (5/5): Really nice brushes. They're all soft tipped but firm
Really nice brushes. They're all soft tipped but firm. I have not found one hair shed. These arrived super quick and in great condition from packaging being done right! I have a makeup brush obsession so when I seen these gorgeous brushes, I couldn't turn them away! They are just as great as I hoped for as well. They withheld their first cleaning without any shedding of the hairs and they dried super quick. The bristles are super soft, yet can withstand both liquids and powders without any signs of losing shape or bristles. Each brush comes individually wrapped in a cellophane bag. When opened there was an overwhelming solvent smell. It was is if the handles had been finished and put directly in the bag before they were dry. But the handles are dry. In fact the finish is very nice and smooth. The smell coming of just one is enough to give me a headache. I had to wash these with dish soap and olive oil right away, the smell was very off-putting. The ferule is professionally glued to the handle and bristles, so they will never fall apart like others. I received these at a discount to test and review, and these may easily become some of my main brushes.
Bristles are synthetic but they are so soft that feels a lot like natural, also they are very dense and the benefit of using these very dense synthetic brushes is they are perfect for either powder, cream or liquid products, it's very hard to get them stained as long as you take good care of them.
These brushes are really well made. The handles have a great weight to them and are very sturdy. The bristles are well attached and do not come loose at all. I have already cleaned them once and they hold up perfectly. The bristles are SO soft, which is awesome because the brushes do not irritate my skin at all. Having soft bristles is especially important for applying make up to the delicate skin around the eyes. Another thing I really like about this pack is the variety of brushes that you get. They are different not only in size but also in shape of the bristles. It is important to use the correct brush for the application you are doing and this pack makes that easy. I actually washed them again a couple more times and let them dry out and that pretty much got rid of the smell. These are now my main foundation, contouring, blush and eye shadow brushes. They work very well and I have no complaints.
