I've been looking around for some make-up brushes for a while, but to buy a good foundation brush on its own is pretty expensive never mind all the other brushes I wanted too.
And so, I turned to my friend Amazon.
Amazon had loads of sets of brushes and for cheap too! After reading numerous reviews the brushes I went for was the 'Bundle Monster 15pc Studio Pro Make Up Cosmetic Brush Set' which also came with a 'Pink Faux Crocodile Case'.
The brushes are made of synthetic fibres which is better for applying liquids such as foundations better than powders, but either way, for the price of the brushes they do the job.
They feel nice to hold, and aren't too plastic or cheap looking, personally I love the pink colour, its nice and bright with a black rim at the neck of the brush.
This shows the brushes the pack comes with, although i've kinda done my own thing with them, not sticking strictly to the descriptions.
For example, the 'Medium Powder Brush' I think is better for putting on foundation as you can really buff the make-up into the skin for a even look, but then again, i'm not a fan of the foundation brush to begin with.
From reading on comments on the Amazon page, some people have found their brushes come apart at the joint between the head and the handle, but for me, after about a months use all is well and i'm still super pleased at my purchase.
I haven't noticed many hairs come out of the brushes, when they arrived the 'Small Fan Brush' had a few rouge hairs sticking out, but after taking the scissors to it all is well, although since I don't know what it is for I won't be using it that often anyway! (help please?)
All brushes come with a protective plastic case, which is nice and hygienic since it protects against some dirt and bacteria coming into contact with the bristles and in turn your face.
The case is also good for storing the brushes in as their held in by pockets and there is also room to squeeze a few other brushes in there too. When closed, it is held together by two magnetic clips which do not come apart too easily.
The case does, however feel very plastic, but as an avergae girl, i'm not really bothered by this fact, its just a holder after all.
In conclusion, if you're not a professional, and just looking to have a few make-up brushes to have to make you feel like a professional, go for it.
I paid about £13 for the set, so it's a bargain not to be missed!
