The only brushes you hear about now a days is "Morphe" or "Sigma" brushes and while they are a good choice of brushes, I feel like other brands don't get a fair chance.

The one thing that really excited me about this brush set was that there was no weird chemical smell. Most brushes that I have gotten in the past had a horrible smell to them (it did go away) but I was impressed that there was no smell in the first place.

The brushes in themselves are super soft. There is a mix of synthetic, (mostly synthetic) goat hair. The brushes come with a little guide to show you what brush does what. these brushes blended my makeup well. The eye brushes are not rough or scratchy. There has been no shedding at all so far. The handles are very sturdy, they feel like your holding an expensive luxe brush, they have an expensive look for an enexpensive price for the set.

If you are looking for a starter brush set or just to add to your collection, I highly recommend this brush set. You will not regret this purchase.
