good brushes [SEP] i would recommend these brushes i have not used them for makeup as i do not wear much makeup but i purchased them to use as blending brushes for scrapbooking stamping ink i cannot afford the actual real brushes made for that so thought i would give these a try so far i have used these once and they did a good job i truly feel what they did not do was user error on my part and not the brushes i am planning to play with them use them more soon they cleaned well with soap and water and dried well when i let them sit overnight overall i am satisfied with my purchase and i am looking forward to using them more
