Dithered for a while over purchasing this set but so glad I did. I personally prefer black or brown bristles to my make-up brushes and the light colour of these initially turned me off. However I am really pleased with the quality of these and the aesthetics are great too apart from the bristle colour! Regarding performance they 'handle' well with a decent weight and feel to them. The brush in the using is excellent: soft, delicate and each one perfect for the job it claims to do! I am a particular fan of the micro pencil brush, ideal for lining the eye and the blending brushes are really superb. all in all a happy customer who will probably, in time, come back for more!
