How does the set look like?

Review:

• Mascara brush:

It has a very thin handle. It feels fragile. The handle is a bit loosened. Otherwise the brush performs OK. I use it mainly to comb my eyebrows.

• Lip brush:

Nice brush. I like it a lot. It’s rounded, easy to use. It holds its shape well.

• Eyebrow brush:

Good brush for applying color to your eyebrows. The bristles are stiff and a bit harsh but not a problem, because it’s an eyebrow brush.

• Pointed eye liner brush:

Very thin eye liner brush. It’s a fine brush for detail work. For lining my eyes with a gel eyeliner I prefer angled brushes, but that’s just a matter of preference. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the pointed eye liner brush by BH Cosmetics. I love it for applying thin line of eyeshadow near my lashes etc.

• Small eyeshadow brush:

A flat eyeshadow brush. It’s a very nice brush for laying down the color on your eyelids. The bristles are soft, but firm. Because it’s a flat brush it’s not appropriate for blending. Although it’s called small eyeshadow brush, it’s not tiny. It’s 0,9cm wide and the bristles are approx. 1,1cm long. I like it a lot!

• Large eyeshadow brush:

A larger flat eyeshadow brush. It’s 1,1cm wide and the bristles are approx. 1,3cm long. It’s practically larger version of the small eyeshadow brush. Very good brush. I like it a lot.

• Smudge brush:

Another very good brush. It has soft bristles and it’s gentle. I like to use this brush for highlighting (under my eyebrows). It’s 1,3cm wide, the bristles are 0,9cm long.

• Foundation brush:

I love this brush. It applies liquid foundation nicely (no visible brush strokes). The only down side is, that the handle on my foundation brush isn’t glued well, so it is a bit loosened. Otherwise a very good foundation brush.

• Blush brush:

A very nice fluffy blush brush. It’s flattened. The brush applies blush nicely.

• Powder brush:

A bigger fluffy brush. It’s round. The bristles are soft. It’s a very nice powder brush.

Overall

A very good beginners set of brushes. There’s a good variety of brushes. The quality of the bristles is very good. Only the big brushes lost a hair or two. Other brushes didn’t shed at all. The brushes feel nice in the hand. The handles of two brushes in my set loosened after a short while, which is not a good thing. I’ll admit, that the brushes are not of superb quality, but as I said before, it’s very good set of makeup brushes to start with. I love that the brushes are in a pouch. Even if I have better quality brushes in my collection I love this set when I’m travelling. The only brush I’m missing in the set is a crease brush and maybe a blending brush. If you add the Essence smokey eyes brush, you have a very nice set of brushes. I purchased the set myself and I would do it again.

If you are interested, how do the brushes perform, you are welcome to watch my tutorial, where I mainly used the brushes from the reviewed set.
