I bought this set of Kabuki Makeup Brushes for my daughter for her birthday and they are perfect! Since this bag comes with so many the price is definitely comparable to those that you can find in your local department store, except with these brushes you have better quality. The bag that these brushes come in is made of a vinyl material that has a beautiful design. The brush on these are super soft. I’m assuming that has to do with the synthetic material they are made of. The bristles are very securely placed in and do not fall out like those of it’s kind. Each brush has a different cut for their different uses. These brushes apply makeup better than any of the store bought makeup brushes that I’ve bought for my daughter. Overall, very impressed with this set of brushes.
