i do not recommend these any longer [SEP] i have purchased several sets of these brushes over the years but after my most recent purchase i will not buy again these brushes used to be a good quality but i cannot say that any longer the brush fiber is now some sort of plastic composition that does not pick up and hold powder blush eye shadow etc well at all the handles have gotten shorter and the brushes have been reshaped sorry to see these go this way they used to be amazing
