brush had been used [SEP] when i got this set i used the base and powder for my great granddaughters ballet recital but when i went to use the lip brush i noticed that it had already been used and cleaned whoever cleaned it did not do a good job either the tip of the brush is what i saw first then i notice lipstick down under the metal part of the brush also the paper that contained the brush had residue from lipstick on it i cannot believe that i bought something that had been used makeup was fine
