This is a fantastic set for the price! I've owned E.l.f. brushes before and have found that they are committed to quality at an affordable price. This was actually a gift for a friend which she loved. I own the same brushes (but bought them individually) and even though they are cheap, the set offers even more savings. I wish it came with a spoolie brush, though, to tame eyebrows. It's got the brushes necessary for applying concealer, contouring and highlighting your face, filling in your eyebows (with powder), and applying (also smudging) eyeshadow/liner. She really appreciates the bag, too, to keep her brushes organized. They are very soft on the skin, lightweight, and comfortable to hold. HIGHLY recommended! Read more

I'm writing this review in November 2013. I purchased these products in February of 2012, so well over a year ago. Before this I never used brushes, always a user of fingers and sponges haha. So I basically bought these as a beginner. These brushes are still perfectly in tact. I have zero problem with shedding. They wash clean very easily. I love the eyeshadow c brush. Applies the color beautifully and precisely. All of the brushes are great especially for a cheap price. And perfect for someone who is just beginning to start a brush collection. As I said, I had NONE and have continuously added to this elf collection, but these brushes are still my everyday core brushes. Definitely recommend purchasing. Read more

I have had around half a year to use and review this brush set. I am absolutely in love with it. Trying to find an affordable brush collection that has everything you need is challenging enough, and add to that task, finding a cruelty free set. This set is everything I was looking for, and more. Synthetic bristles [from a cruelty free company as well], affordable, and a brush for almost every need. This set is great for travel, and can easily fit the needs of any makeup enthusiast.The sleek black design of these brushes makes this set look like it should cost 3x more than what you pay for it. The bristles are synthetic, and super soft, and the brush handle length is perfect for every day use. After several cleanings, I still have not had any bristle fall out. The set comes in a black case that is easy to wipe clean, and is about the size of a normal book, so it will easily fit in a purse or bag for on the go use.For a more comprehensive look at what the set includes, check the actual e.l.f. website. They have detailed descriptions of each brush, so you can see exactly what you will be getting. Read more

These are the first makeup brushes I've owned. I previously used whatever applicator came with my makeup. I've been using these for a few weeks now and they're working great. The brushes are soft, pick up product well, and seem solidly constructed. The case is decent too. Enough brushes are included that I haven't even used them all. My makeup looks better than it used to and I'm glad I switched. Would recommend. Read more
