Review (4/5): Beautiful, Luxuriously Soft, Amazing Quality Brushes!
My first thoughts on these brushes were obviously the packaging - it blew me away! They're incredibly beautiful, and look so stunning. There was a slight plastic-y smell coming from the brushes, but it wasn't overwhelming, and faded quickly.
As far as the brushes themselves, they are honestly so soft, and they work amazingly. They blend foundation into the skin sooo well: in fact, it almost looks airbrushed. Since they are synthetic, they work really well with both cream, and powder products! I have many other synthetic brushes similar to these from other companies, such as BH Cosmetics, SixPlus, and Sigma - and these hit the mark with my expectations from all of those brands! (Yes, even Sigma!!)
The nice thing about this set is that there is a very big variety of essential brushes, and they are all very unique. Though they are similar to other brushes out there, the bristles themselves are very short, dense, and soft. I really don't have anything else like these in my collection!
Another plus - I only experienced shedding with these brushes when I very first pulled them out of the package. Now, that may not be an issue for everyone; but being a professional makeup artist, it's important to have tools that won't leave fibers on your client's face! So with that being said, yes, I would definitely recommend these to any makeup artists, makeup enthusiasts, or even just someone who wears makeup frequently!
If you're looking for amazing, luxurious brushes without spending an arm and a leg, look no further! These are fantastic!
