I purchased these brushes as my first every brush set. I picked them for the excellent cost and was have had faith in other elf items. The brushes are soft and work great. They are individually labled which is very useful to a beginner such as myself. I know there are better quality brushes on the market, but i think at this price point this is the best option. Fast shipping, and as always elf is a very reliable brand with excellent customer service.

For a beginner these brushes would be great!

Some of the brushes are great, but others shed a lot and aren't very great. I wouldn't buy the whole set even if it's so cheap.

This is a good set of brushes for beginners, on sale this set is worth it, otherwise I would just recommend getting the eyeshadow brush, the concealer brush, and the eyeliner brush. The powder brush and blush brush are not very soft, but they work pretty well, and are useable. The lip brush is too soft to pick up a lot of product and not stiff enough to line the lips, the concealer brush works better as a lip brush. I find the smudge brush, lash and brow comb, and the eyelash and brow wand to be a bit gimmicky, but they still work as intended. The foundation brush is pretty good, its a basic foundation brush, but it is a bit small and it does streak with some foundations, but it does work. The defining eye brush and the blending eyeshadow brush I found to be very scratchy. The defining eye brush was a lot smaller than expected, and the blending eyeshadow was a lot shorter than expected. The two brushes still work decently, but I don't like how they are scratchy.

very inexpensive which is awesome. they do what expected them to do.

I was a little nervous about getting these because of how inexpensive they are. I wasn't sure anything so cheap could possibly be quality! When they came in the mail, I had to try them out right away. They were perfect! I am so thrilled with every single brush in the set, and they are a super steal for the price! They are firm enough to pick up the makeup color but are soft enough not to be abrasive on your face. I did notice a little shedding from the rounded eyeshadow brush, but not enough to actually hurt anything, and I'm sure that will resolve itself after a few washes. Bravo, E.L.F!
