I bought these brushes because I was desperate for something to tie me over until i could afford the real techniques brushes and this set seemed to have a good range of brushes.
When I first took them out I was immediately pretty disappointed in the quality. I mean, I wasn't expecting much for the price but reviews I had read about e.l.f brushes were all pretty good so I was a wee bit surprised. i did shrug it off because I when I started using the brushes I didn't find them too bad.
After a few weeks of use I noticed the top of the brushes loosening up from the wooden handles and nowabout three of them have completely seperated so that is pretty disappointing. Not all of them are terrible though, I have found the eyebrow wand amazing for prepping brows and the eyeliner brush very good for filling in the brows so those two are definitely my faves. I also get a lot of use out of the total face brush for powder. Other than those three I think this set is a bit of a miss and I recommend holding out, saving up and getting the real techniques!
I'm a huge fan of E.L.F products but these brushes just didn't cut it for me. They felt very rough on my face and 2 of the brushes broke after the first use which was disappointing. The eyeliner brush can't be used as an eyeliner brush as it's far too thick and the concealer brush seems pointless.
