for the price this is a very nice set [SEP] for the price i think this is a very nice set the brushes are all soft and do a decent job applying makeup i personally did not have any shedding of my brushes but i was reading other reviews and they washed them up and they shed everywhere i do not do that i have never liked anything using a wet application it annoys me so that is something i did not test for i can see this as a fabulous starter set for a teenager or someone who just slaps on some blush and a little shadow before skipping out the door if you are planning to do any fancy techniques or anything you might plan on paying a little more for your brushes i received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest and unbiased review i really hope that you found this review to be helpful i rely so much on amazon reviews for my own purchases so i really want to try to help as much as i can if you have any questions just let me know below and i will do my best to help you if i can if my opinions have helped you at all please click the little yes button below this review thanks a bunch and have a fabulous day
