Review (5/5): Good value if you’re not too picky about make-up brushes
Look...you can’t buy a set of 32 brushes for $7 and expect to receive a super high-end product. However, these brushes are perfectly usable. The bristles on some of the brushes remind a little bit of what you find with craft brushes, but they are soft and fairly dense and they do a decent job.
I bought this set for my daughter because she does stage make-up for the students in her high school plays, and let’s be honest...the price is right for this type of use. There are enough brushes that she can still have plenty of clean brushes to use while someone washes the brushes she used on the previous student. She said the brushes apply product well enough that she has no complaints and they do wash up well. They haven’t lost any bristles after some very hard use and multiple washes so they get an A rating for durability. You can see from my photo that these brushes have been used a ton already, but they’re still going strong. The handles are just long enough to be comfortable to use and they feel sturdy. The handles don’t wiggle inside of the metal ferrules; they appear to be very securely attached. There is a great selection of brushes as well as duplicates of the most often used types so it’s a well-rounded set. They also come in a great roll-up case that makes them very portable and storage is a snap.
These brushes may or may not be for you. If you’re picky about your makeup brushes then you probably won’t be satisfied with these because they just don’t have as nice of an appearance as more high-end brushes and the bristles aren’t as satiny soft and smooth as more expensive brushes. You’ll need to spend a little more to find what you’re looking for if you fall in this category (not much more, though...check my reviews for other awesome sets). However, if you’re looking for a good, usable and durable set for a teenager, if you’re a makeup novice and you’re just want something to learn with, etc., these brushes work perfectly well for their intended purpose.
Overall, I recommend this brush set if you want a whole bunch of durable, usable brushes and you have reasonable expectations of the quality of the bristles based on the price of the set (in other words, don’t be expecting gold for the price of copper).
