I was very impressed with the quality of these makeup brushes. I've had very high quality brushes and cheap ones. The cheap brushes usually have uneven hairs, awful smell and absorb too much product.
If there was one thing I would change, I would have chosen a different blending sponge. It didn't blend as well as I would have liked and it began shedding after the first gentle wash. Still, I awarded 5 stars on this purchase since the blender beauty sponge was not the main reason for purchasing, ans it did get the job done!
There was no fallout on these brushes and they blend like a dream! I loved the included cosmetics bag. It could double as a small bag for toiletries also
I would recommend this as a gift for all ages.
