As someone who’s been in the makeup industry for 10 years, I’ve tried a lot! I’ve worked in makeup retail & an MUA, so I’m fussy! This set is perfect for beginners, professionals, for personal and work use. I’ve owned my personal set for a couple of years and never had shedding, warping, colours clean out well (taking care of brushes is vital) & is so silky on the skin. I love that they’re vegan, they feel like real hair and pick up pigment amazingly. Highly recommend this set for travel too as the packaging is perfect and you have everything you need for a whole face beat!
