12 Pieces Makeup Brush Set Professional Bamboo Handle Premium Synthetic Kabuki Foundation Blending Blush Concealer Eye Face Liquid Powder Cream Cosmetics Brushes Kit With Bag

Came in a bright orange pouch, with each brush in a separate sleeve for shipping. Brushes definitely have a strong smell when you first open them. I'm hoping a good wash and some time to air out will help. The brushes feel really soft, and the handles seem solid. I didn't notice any immediate fallout either. One thing that made me laugh were some of the suggested brush uses. They give you a little insert with a picture of the brushes and then provide descriptions for each. The one was marked as a "Big Eye Shadow Brush" (picture included) but would literally be as big as your entire eyelid. Probably better for concealer or foundation. Also, the one they designate for blush (also pictured) is so tiny, I can't imagine you would have good results with it. Overall, I'd say this is a decent set if you're looking for more options at a low price. Just maybe use the brushes for whatever makes the most sense to you, not what is written in the insert. :)

These brushes are all I'd hoped they'd be: quality, soft as heck, and useful in their variety. I've had a lot of fun trying them out and not necessarily for the purposes listed on the sheet that came with the brushes. In fact I got a kick out of the one that was said to be a blush brush and it has a tiny head (it's the 8th brush on the left in the picture)--haha. But that aside, I knew what I wanted to do with each brush and hands down every one of them has performed beautifully. I usually use the flat topped brushes to put foundation on, but I can see using the smaller domed brush for that too. I use the large domed brush or the shorter one to apply loose or compact powders. I use the soft smaller brush heads for different concealer type products and the one very firm small brush (5th from the left) to apply a small amount of shadow close to my lashes (though that purpose isn't working so well as it doesn't go on smoothly and some of the shadow drops onto my lashes--I'll have to try another brush). I really like the shorter brushes to take when I travel. As far as bristles coming out, so far I have seen only 1. I've washed these brushes several times with dish soap because it really cuts the grease that is in foundation and concealer well. In between washing them, I wipe them off with an alcohol wipe especially after using foundation and concealer for sanitary reasons. That's a tip I got from another reviewer and it works great with these brushes. After washing, a couple of the brushes weren't completely dry the next morning--not a big deal as I still could have used them cuz they were 90% dry. These brushes feel really great in my hands. They are lightweight and sturdy feeling and I especially like the ones with the thicker than usual handles. The only one I haven't used and never will since I don't use mascara and eyebrow powder is the eyebrow/eyelash brush. I also won't be using the first brush on the left (the typical foundation brush) since I much prefer the flat or domed type for that use and I already have three of that type anyway. I can also use either the flat or the domed for blush. It's fun to try different things with these brushes and I've been a little surprised, such as with the 8th brush on the left that I tried with concealer, at how well they can work even if I didn't initially think of it at first. IMO these brushes are every bit as good any more expensive brushes I've had and I think I'll get some more to give as gifts for Christmas.

I am on a budget so I cannot afford to spend a lot on makeup brushes. Last week, I was at a super-center and spent a lot on ELF products. Then I saw these and thought I would give it a try. The price is crazy good for how many brushes you get. Order this and you will not regret this. These brushes are really nice, soft, delicate and smooth on your skin. In comparison to the ELF brushes, the ELF brushes were hard and gave streaks.... definitely did not give me a flawless look. These kabuki brushes make your makeup look much better. I returned the ELF brushes. The item came fast and looks like the image. I gave it 4 stars because I wish the shorter brushes were longer. This is a minor issue since they work fine and are lovely. Another reason for the 4 stars is that I wish they offered more brushes. I would be willing to pay a few dollars more if they added more eye brushes and concealer brushes. They give what you need and it is good but I like to have a specific brush for a specific use. I would definitely buy again. In fact, after receiving these, I ordered another set of kabuki brushes...not this brand but another to mix it up a bit. Kabuki brushes are lovely in general. I highly recommend. They came in plastic wrapper in a sack-like bag. The bag is ugly and your basic drawstring but it does fit all the brushes. You are buying for the brushes. This bag is an afterthought. Buy this. You will really like them.

I'm not a makeup brush aficionado, but I thought these were really nice. I was primarily concerned about quality, especially of appearance, when I bought these, but don't worry. The bamboo handle is sturdy, has a clear grain, and is coated in a nice, thick, hard, clear varnish. It looks very authentically wooden. The metal parts of the handle look real and are pretty thick - not super cheap aluminum foil-looking junk. The bristles themselves are synthetic, so they have a shine similar to Barbie hair. They don't feel like barbie hair, though. I was worried about this before I bought them, but in person it isn't an issue. The shape and coloration of the bristles make up for any sheen-they don't look cheap. Like everyone has said, the bristles are SUPER soft. They aren't the greatest with picking up product, but they're magnificent at not wasting any. I'd prefer to have to swipe a few times rather than swipe once but waste lots of my makeup. My makeup went on incredibly smoothly- better than with other brushes I've used. The brushes are all pretty dense- I was pleasantly surprised. The small Kabuki isn't very dense, but the big Kabuki really is. I think that was on purpose so you could have a really light finishing brush. As far as the smell goes, I didn't find it overwhelming unless I practically stuck the brush up my nose-which I don't suggest you do. They came with a tiny manual that suggested soaking the brushes in warm water and shampoo for ~30 minutes to get rid of any lingering smells from the factory, which I did. The baggie they come with is a simple cotton drawstring. It isn't really sturdy, but is effective. Plus, you aren't buying this set for the bag, you're buying the brushes. Additionally, these were shipped from Kentucky, not China, in case you were worried about that kind of thing. I've only used these a couple of times, but I really like them and they seem built to last. Plus, you can't beat this price!

If you are looking for a way to boost your makeup routine, THIS is what you want. I got these because all of the makeup tutorials I was watching were using brushes and I wanted an inexpensive, quality way to see if they were for me. Now that I have them, I have no idea what I was doing without them! These brushes are amazing -- there is one for everything you would need. They are SO SOFT and they give SUCH good coverage. They put the brushes that come with makeup to shame. The first time I used the foundation brush I realized just how much I was missing from not using a brush. All of them are great and will vastly improve your makeup routine - making it look natural, smooth, and professional. It also comes with a little guide inside the bag to show you what brush is for what - so if you're confused or overwhelmed, no worries! They've got you covered. They also come in this bright orange bag so you will never loose them! (I put them in "stick down" so that the brushes don't get crushed.) If you are looking for inexpensive, yet great brushes, get THESE!

I bought these brushes a year ago when my backpack was stolen in Europe, which included my make up bag! The only brush I had at the time was a $30 Mac brush. I know it's outrageous. so I decided that I want a whole set, and I wasn't looking to spend hundreds of dollars. I found this on Amazon and I fell in love with the bamboo handles, it had really good reviews so I decided to go for it! spoiler alert, I made the right choice. When these arrived, I was so impressed by the quality and how solid it felt in the hand. The bamboo handles were beautiful just as I hoped and the bristles were really soft and nice! barely any fallout happens with the bristles, but it still happens once in a while. it's just a thing you can't really avoid. it's been a year since I've had these and the metal part has not came loose and everything is still intact and feels just as new as they came!! The best part is just the brushes overall for the price. these are EXTREMLY affordable (as if it weren't a steal already!!) if you were debating on buying these, buy it!! don't hesitate, these are the winner!!

Came in a bright orange pouch, with each brush in a separate sleeve for shipping. Brushes definitely have a strong smell when you first open them.

Overall, I'd say this is a decent set if you're looking for more options at a low price. Just maybe use the brushes for whatever makes the most sense to you, not what is written in the insert. :)

I purchased these make-up brushes for my wife this Christmas, so my comments are based on her impressions and what I have observed from her using these. Her previous make-up bag and brushes were looking pretty worn out. She likes these. They appear to be very high-quality and professional. And the variety of different types of brushes is great. Wooden handled brushes like these always feel better to the touch and are easy to hold and maneuver when make fine touch-ups, compared to brushes with plastic handles that can easily slip between your fingers and are harder to control. Even though I rated these as 5 stars, my wife did mention one thing that she would have changed about the set if she had a choice. The brushes came with a draw-string bag to hold them, made of material, which was nice. But she said it would be nicer if they were in some kind of flat folding case instead which would make them easier to store and carry. However, in fairness, the pictures in the ad showed the draw-string pouch when I made the initial purchase, so that can't really be counted against this product. If the manufacturer is looking to improve this product, maybe a new carrying case could be a consideration for later? Anyway, my wife ended up really liking these so much, she got rid of her other brushes and has replaced all of them with this new set. And I'm very pleased that she was happy with this Christmas gift I gave her. I would definitely recommend these brushes to anyone else thinking about buying them. In my experience, they seem to be everything that was represented in the ad. Thank you!
