SHANY Vegan Makeup Brushes - 6 PC Double Sided Travel Make up Brushes with Brush storage Pouch - Old Style

I'm used to MAC brushes, and I only bought this set for travel, but I have to say I was totally impressed with the quality of these brushes. Super soft, and the perfect size to fit in a carry on bag or luggage case. The F15 powder brush is softer than my MAC 129 powder brush. I use the F19 blush brush to buff in a highlighter. It's basically a small Sigma F80. The F17 buffed bronzer brush is the same brush, just with an angle. The F11 is a traditional paddle foundation brush, still really soft. The F13 reminds me of the Kevyn Aucoin foundation brush, its a paddle brush but circular. The eye brushes are a little dense, so they need to be used to be softened up. The E14 is a flat eyeshadow brush, not very fluffy and came really dense. I use it for my nose cream contour because of how flat it is. The top of the bristles are angled, I'm not sure if that was intentional. The E12 is a more fluffy version the flat eyeshadow brush. It's much more soft and is perfect for packing on a lid color. The E13 is a contour brush. It's quite dense and small, so be gentle when using it to add contour color on the eyes. The F16 is a round concealer brush. It's really small for a concealer brush for the face, so I use it for the inner eye highlight color. I sometimes use it as a lip brush, because its dense and the point is fine and the perfect shape for the lips. It can also be used for adding color under the eye. The B13 is an eyebrow brush. You can use it for a thick eyeliner, but its not thin enough for a wing eyeliner. This brush is also quite dense, so be gentle around the eyes. The case it came in is magnetic, so be careful when traveling because it may open. The case is really elegant and it's a padded faux leather. I really was skeptical about the price, but as soon as I used them I fell in love with the quality. Totally recommend these, for beginners and professionals.

I seldom write reviews because I basically always get what I expect for the most part. As a general rule “you get what you pay for”! I am writing this review because I got so MUCH more than I expected or get with the money I spent. This SHANY Ombré Pro 10 piece makeup brush set. Awesome!! I have purchased many brush sets through the years from Channel high quality to Walgreens less expensive set. I gift them at Holidays and purchase them for myself. When I received this; I was very happy! It is truly as impressive as a Channel Set I once splurged on. The handles and brushes are gorgeous and the bristles are of very high quality. When you read “and a case is enclosed” .. I always expect a “nice” case and am always disappointed as most enclosed cases turn out to be so ugly and cheap I just throw them out. But this CASE is truly a nice case!! Magnetic closure, thick pleather material that looks and feels almost like leather!! It will be great for travel. There are so many different types of brushes out there now; that I can get confused of what some of them are even used for. This set has them engraved (not just a sticker that will come off) right on the handle, what each brush can be used for). I seriously could not have been more impressed with everything regarding this purchase. Finding a brush set that is truly of good quality AND design is hard to come by unless you spend $200 up. Buy this if you are wanting a brush set. You won’t be disappointed

Overall I think I like these brushes but I am not blown away. I am comparing them to the quality of some much older brushes I got over 10 years ago from Beauty Control (a company that people buy into and then sell themselves, like Pampered Chef or Tupperware). My Beauty Control brushes began shedding uncontrollably, so it was time to move on. Pros: the brushes are soft and of a good length. The handles are smooth and have a nice weight in my hand. Not cons but considerations: I am used to my powder and blush brushes being fuller than these. I will continue to use them and see how I like them over time but my first impression is that they are not as full as I would prefer. I like the assortment of brushes in this set but I would have rather had a thinner brush for F16. In the literature insert, the F16 is referred to as the "Precision Liner Brush for applying gel liners and lip liners" but on the product listing it is referred to as a "Rounded Concealer Brush." **The company did NOT misrepresent the brush on the listing. It is a fine concealer brush. The company must have changed the name to a concealer brush, since it is too big to be a liner brush, but all the same, if this is to be an "essential brush set" I'd rather have had a finer brush in the mix. I only even had this thought because the literature in the box that came with the brushes listed the brush as a liner brush and I thought- hey, that would have been nice. All in all, I think I will use the F16 as a creasing brush to control where I put the eyeshadow, and then blend with the one called "creasing brush E13." I purchased the travel set because I wanted a case to put the brushes in, but I'm only somewhat happy with the case. I wish there were individual slots or loops to put the brushes in to keep them from knocking around. I'm thinking about maybe adding styrofoam in the bottom with holes for the brushes to keep them apart while traveling.

Perfect for traveling and the brushes are soft!

I just received these today after ordering 3 days ago, and I can't wait to try them out. I bought them for a on-the-go mini makeup kit that I can use daily after I hit the gym and I'm headed to work. They're soft, seem to be well made, and the perfect size for travelling. They're slightly shorter than the average makeup brush, and the double-sided feature takes up less room in your bag or purse. They come with a small roll-up carrying case that will protect the brushes from dirt and damage, but it doesn't grip the smaller brushes well (they slide out), and it adds a bit of bulk to the package. I probably won't use the roll-up for those reasons. I'll update in a few months if I start losing a lot of bristles, but it doesn't seem like that's going to be an issue at all.

The brushes come in a very robust case with a magnetic closure. The brushes themselves are very nice. The bristles are very soft, and do not fall out. The brushes are marked with what each of them is used for which is excellent - especially for beginners. These would make an excellent gift and look really nice in their case or displayed out in the open. I bought these for travel however these are excellent every-day brushes also. Shany has some really nice products and are priced well when you can find them on sale!

Lovely brushes. Good quality. I can recommend.

Me encantó lo práctico del estuche para guardar y llevar tus brochas limpias de viaje... son suaves y de muy buena calidad. Es un kit para un maquillaje básico!
