I was surprised what great quality these brushes are. They work exeptionally well and look very professional too. Ive so far bought the angked blush brush, all over face brush the foundation brush and the eye shadow brush and smudger and I'm loving each one of em. good value for money I must say. and when they're on special u can get em at a real bargain. the bristles dont shed at all. definately a must have in your makeup bag.
