Clearly these brushes are not going to be the best, with the price point being so low. However after hearing some good reviews about elf brushes I thought I would order this set from iherb. The largest brush was broken, and in fact all of the larger brushes (bronzer, brush contour etc) were frankly pretty terrible. On another note the eye brushes weren't bad and would do a fair job of applying eyeshadow. I expected these to be of better quality than the cheap Avon brushes I have had for years but no. If you were just starting up with makeup, I would probably just purchase some of the eye brushes separately and spend the bit extra to get the better quality face brushes.

I brought one if these sets with the intention to use it for good or special occasions. I was totally drawn into how many brushes and the description. It sounded fab!
On arrival I was very impressed. The brushes looked amazing. Looked professional and felt beautiful against my skin.
Then came using them... (rolls eyes) I was applying foundation and next thing I have black hairs all over my face. Shedding! What the heck! Then I tried the eyeshadow brush and it was just Agh! I gave up. I promptly went off and washed them all to see if that would make it better.
Tried numerous times and I just got so fustrated with all of the brushes! I threw them in a canister and left on my shelf. When my everyday brushes are dirty I go to these and get reminded why I don't use then. I don't like how they pick up the shadow, how they blend foundation and powders. Now I stick to my real techniques ones
Tips: Save a few more dollars and buy a set that's real techniques
I bought this thinking I was getting a useable set of brushes for a quater the price of a quality set.
Nearly every brush the hairs began to fall out almost instantly so by that I didnt even attempt to try and clean the brushes. Despite most of them being duds, that werent worth the money. Let alone my time , the Eyeliner brush is the only one I endorse and the only brush that has survived.
Although its so cheap, the set isn't worth the buy. The overall quality of the brushes is low. The eye brushes are manageable but the foundation brushes leave a very streaky application.
I bought this for $4.99 (Burlington) the hair to the fluffy brushes is soft but they shed a lot. Since I wash my brushes with acne soap I thought well why not these. Big mistake the hairs tangled up like they did not stay straight they bended and clumped up together.
Tips: The lip brush, smudge brush and eyeshadow brush are the only great brushes and the only ones I have left because the other ones all unglued.
