Prefer them over Professional brushes

I have purchased all of these brushes individually in the past and I figure a pro and con format is easiest for interpreting a review of a product. I was only able to photograph a few of the brushes since some are back at home. Pros: -Easy to use -Very soft -Has never Shed (i have used the same brushes for over a year) -With property and regular cleaning they stay soft and in great condition -Very portable in the carrying case provided -Very durable Cons: -The black handle makes finger prints and make up very visible -I have had only one break but I believe it was because of improper storage while traveling. I was easily able to repair it with glue and it hasn't broken off since -Not a huge fan of the "bent" eyeliner brush, its a little difficult to be super precise for something like a Cat eye look Summary: I began using elf products years ago and I fell in love with their studio brushes. I replaced my high end bare minerals brushes and Victoria secrets make up brushes with these and i am so happy I did. The Victoria secrets holiday make up brush gift set fell apart when i cleaned them and while the Bare Mineral brushes were soft when i got them after there 2nd cleaning they began to get very scratchy and rough. I use these brushes daily: -Eye shadow "C" brush - To apply eye shadow -Crease Brush - To Blend eye shadow -Fan brush - To apply highlighter and whisk away eye shadow fall out -Powder Brush (flat top) - To apply liquid foundation or setting powder -Selfie Ready Powder Brush - To blend out blush and bronzer -Blush Brush - To apply Blush Final Notes: After adding all of this up you save upwards of 15+ dollars by buying the kit while also getting the carrying case free. I would recommend this to anyone who either wants a full professional brush kit or wants to give a gift to a make-up lover. Also its great to know they're cruelty free. Suggestions: I would also purchase their Angled Blush Brush and use it for contouring. I find if you use its side you can get a very precise and blended contour that looks natural.

Don't waste your money.

I just received these brushes and they're useless. They're too flimsy and they put don't product on evenly. My make up looked so blotchy and horrible I actually took it off with a makeup wipe and started over using my old brushes. I'm so disappointed, I really wanted to love these. I will never buy brushes online again.
