I was very disappointed with these makeup brushes. They looked so beautiful advertised of course buy when they arrived it was a different story. First of all the variety of brushes is barely noticeable. Its basically all lip stick style brushes that a very dense and way too thin to use as eye shadow or blending brushes. There may be one or two that could work, but those are also very dense and would not blend well enough. The are very short and small so it's like they are almost made for children instead of professional style brushes. A few of the brushes still had strands sticking out and were unfinished which is one of my biggest peeves for makeup brushes. This tells me they were not quality checked and made either by a machine or in a rush. And third there absolutely no weight to them. They are super light and cheaply made. Like plastic or light wooden handles. The only pro is the actual hair on the brushes are soft but still too densely packed.
