This was the first eyeshadow brush I have ever bought and it is definitely one I would recommend. It looks great and is quite effective. I love that it can be used for both applying eyeshadow and blending it. The thin bristles allow for precise application. However, I did notice that a one or two bristles fell out. But for the super-affordable price, it's worth it.
I really love the way these brushes pick up colour and obviously they look great, but I find that when I try to use them for blending the bristles are just a little too stiff and tends to hurt my eyes if I'm not very careful. Very good for the price, but not perfect...
I am in love with all things Essence, mainly for their affordability but they also have a great way of presenting products. Their brushes are a clear indication of this! I absolutely love the look of all their brushes, in their eye-catching and funky styles. I have to admit that I would be a sucker for a complete, all-in-one brush set from them. However, they go on to blow me away with the quality of their brushes, they are all soft and perfect for blending.Comparing my name-brand brushes to my Essence brushes makes me embarrassed because I get the same (if not better) from Essence for a fraction of the price. A must have for any beginner who is looking for brushes!
