excessive handles great brushes [SEP] i am no makeup pro but these brushes are soft and apply evenly they are great at what they do the only downside is the size cannot take them anywhere when i travel because my suitcase space is precious i bought a smaller two sided set for traveling that is easier to accessi am not a fan of the case they give you with these brushes because of the size of the brushes the case is huge i would prefer to have a rectangular case so i can decide how to set these brushes in my cabinet based on my shelving needsother than the size of the brushes and the lack of versatility in the case these brushes do a great job
