Fantastic Kit!

Brushes. I love them so much. I invested quite a bit of money into good ones when I first started out on this crazy makeup journey. I had a makeup artist tell me that any palette I had would be much more effective if I used the right tools. I believe this kit is going to effectively help those who are beginning. The brushes come to you in a plastic zip open pouch that is resealable. The brushes are nested in a plastic holder. Not fancy, but it does the job. There are five brushes in this kit, each brush has a metal barrel that feels nice in the hand. The first brush is; Fluffy Eye Blender Brush (not too dense, not too fluffy) it is soft but not so soft that it will not pick up product and blend. I personally like a fluffy brush that is a bit more on the denser side due to the fact that I have mature eyes and a softer fluffy brush just moves the loose skin on my eyelids and not the product. Personal preference. Small Angled Brush, this brush is nice and tight. It picks up eyeliner and applies it to the upper lash line with not problems. Small Precision Brush, applies over the eyeliner to get that smoky, smudgy look. I personally like this brush. Blending Brush, does just what it says. Blends out harsh lines, softens the look a bit, nice feel to it. The last brush in the set is the Eyeshadow "C" Brush, a dense brush that picks up product and places it where it needs to be. Now, these brushes all have their names on the barrels but where e.l.f. takes it a bit further is by putting the steps on how tpo achieve a smoky eye on the back of the pouch. What brush to use, what each brush does and how to care for them. This would make a great gift for those who are just starting out with makeup or even for those who need to "brush" up on their smoky eye skills. It is also a great little set to travel with. You have the brushes and the instructions on how to create the perfect smoky eye. I would have preferred a more sturdy pouch, like a clear makeup bag with the instructions on the zipper fob but for this price point it is great, the brushes, for the price, are a great value. I have had more positive experiences with e.l.f. brushes than negative ones. I highly recommend.
