Yay for makeup brushes!! I am a brush hoarder! So, I was REALLY excited when given the chance to review these ones.
So, this is what the box comes with. The little pamphlet has a picture of each brush, and what its used for. Each brush is individually wrapped in plastic, with guards on the larger fluffier brushes. There is a very strong paint smell when you open these brushes for the first time, but that goes away with some air, and time. The brush roll, or pouch is a very high quality material and quality made. The best part, the little brush guards to keep the shape, when cleaning and drying your brushes.
This is what it looks like closed. Travel friendly!
This brush set comes with:
Powder brush
Eyebrow blush
Spoolie brush
As you can see the flap that covers the brushes, is same material, which is really nice compared to many companies, that don't give you the quality material there too. The only draw back I can say, is that the little compartments where you are to slide each brush into, some of them are larger than need be, I can actually fit more than one brush in them. While this really does not bother me, and I don't see it being a problem. I think it's worth noting, maybe you could add in another one of your favorite brushes!
I really love the hot pink and black design, the brushes themselves are solid. I find that some brushes, are just hot glued together, and break very easily, these do not seem to be that way, and each brush is clamped. Making them less likely to endure brush fall out. I washed each one of the brushes, with some mild baby shampoo before using, and I think maybe 2 or 3 bristles fell out total among all the brushes. Nothing to complain about there, although the large fan brush, I did have to clip one of the bristles off, as it would not stay in place! Again, very minor detail. Each brushes bristles are very soft, or sturdy depending on what the brush is for.
I have not used a couple brushes from this set, but as far as each brush goes. The all over face brush, the largest one is amazing. It is fluffy, and huge. It picks up the product, and disperses it enough to evenly apply product all over your face, without it being concentrated in one area. I like using this one, with my finishing powder. I have switched the foundation and blush brush, as I prefer my blush brush to be angled, I use this brush for blending my blush and contour lines together, both brushes are soft, and evenly apply product. The fan brush, I mostly use for dusting off any fallout from eye shadow.
The eyeshadow brush, and smudge brush are the two brushes I use the most, and imagine most will, the only thing I can say, is I do wish the smudge brush was slightly smaller. I have smaller eyes, and a more noticeable crease in my eye lids, which is where I use this brush most, to blend my eye-shadow together. It works very well for that, the brush is so soft and fluffy, and really picks up your shadows, cream, powder, or pressed. They pick up both very evenly, and apply evenly.
As you can see, The brush picks up quite a bit of product, this is the eyeshadow brush.
The smudge brush also picks up quite a bit.
. I picked the whitest eyeshadow I had so you could see how well they pick up.
Not only do they pick up shadows, well but they apply them just as well
I know its hard to see, on my pale skin, but the eye shadow, and smudge brush applied the shadow evenly, and uniformly across my hand. With product coming off, from the start to the end of the stroke. As far as the eye brow brush and concealer brush. I tend to not use the eye brow one, unless I am spot concealing. I prefer angled eye brow brushes, the concealer brush I find works perfectly to get in the crease of my nose, and works great for contouring. The flat eye shadow brush, I don't use.
It does feel and look as if it is a higher quality sponge though. I just hate these kinds of brushes being included in a set, because the second you use a dark color, you can't really clean it. So its like one and done in my mind. The eyeliner brush is stiff, and long enough to accurately apply any gel liner. The spoolie brush is perfect for brushing out eye lashes, or eye brows, before applying product. My favorite brush is the lip brush, the little case makes me feel so high class!!! and, it helps save money and product by only grabbing what you need!
Over all these brushes retail for $89.99, they sell for $47.77, I can't say I feel like they are worth that price tag, but they are higher quality and better brushes than a lot out there, for the same set, with price tag, these are the better brushes, if you are trying to choose. I am very impressed with the design, and quality of these brushes. Petunia really didn't leave anything out here, when making them!
