Review title is the handles bend very easily; the neck seems to be way too narrow ... [SEP] These brushes are definitely very soft and thick. That's the positive side. Negatives: the handles bend very easily; the neck seems to be way too narrow for the pressure needed to apply makeup. I kept thinking they were going to snap into 2 pieces. The big oval brushes are the softest, yet the thickness holds product in the hairs and does not easily wash out. The residue from washing the brushes is a mess and they do not dry over night, regardless how they are perched. The smaller brushes feel very harsh on eyelids, under eyes, etc. For me, these were not very good. I am no longer using them.
