16pc Professional Cosmetic Makeup Make up Set Kit W/ Purple Bag Case


This is a beautiful 16 piece set by HappyELife that arrived in a fashionable metallic purple roll up case and each brush individually wrapped in plastic to ensure they keep their beautiful shape. They are so dense and yet as soft as teddy bear fur against your face but are cruelty free synthetic fibers. I absolutely love the long, slender, elegant, wooden handles that make for so much easier application. The eye brushes
each measure around 6.5" end to end and about 6" tip to base of the bristles and the face brushes measure around 6.5" end to end and about 5" tip to base of the bristles, which along with the case make the brushes great for use at home or on the go for the everyday makeup user or the professional artist. The pretty purple metallic roll up case has individual mesh sleeves for each brush, a clear plastic flap that fold over the brush heads to prevent damage, 2 magnetic button closers, and folds 4 times.  This set really does it all and does it in style with a very fashionable plum and silver design. They are absolutely worth the price and much more.



In this beautiful 16 piece set get:

2 Powder Brushes
1 Blush Brush
5 Eyeshadow Brushes
1 Eyeshadow Smudge Brush
2 Oblique Eyebrow Brushes
1 Fan Brush
1 Eyebrow Comb Brush
1 Eyelash Brush
1 Eyeliner Brush
1 Lip Brush
1 Purple roll up case



I really adore HappyELife and do not buy my brushes anywhere else.  They have the best quality brushes at the absolute best prices.

Stay tuned for a review video.


Hint: 
I use baby shampoo to wash my brushes once a week.
I received this item complimentary for testing and review purposes, however my opinions are mine alone and always honest.

My Review

These brushes come in a decent travel case/pouch with a magnetic button closure. The case is pretty stiff and doesn't lay flat when you first get it, but it should soften over time and be easier to lay open on a surface. It has a flap that lays over the brushes when it is closed to keep debris from getting in the bristles. If it loosens up, it is a great case because it has space that you could probably fit an extra brush or two if they've got small handles. It also rolls up to a manageable size. You can easily place it in most purses without using up too much space.

Each brush is individually wrapped in clear plastic when you first open it. I would definitely recommend washing them before you use them (as with any new brush), which you can easily do with soap or shampoo and water. You can also blow dry them if you don't have time to let them air dry. The brushes are made of natural (goat and pony hair) and synthetic hair. While the natural hair brushes seem to hold up rather well, the synthetic brushes can lose their shape very easily if you're not careful how you store them.

This kit includes 12 brushes:

Powder brush
Blush brush
Foundation brush
Eyeshadow brush
Smudge brush
Fan brush
Concealer brush
Eyebrow brush
Eyeliner brush
Sponge applicator
Lip brush
Spoolie brush

It also comes with several brush guards that I haven't used yet but could really come in handy for helping your brushes keep their shape in and out of the case. I also really like that it comes with an instructional insert that identifies each brush, what it is used for, and most state which kind of hair they're made out of.

These brushes are supposed to be "professional studio quality".
Do I feel like these are TRUE professional quality? No. I don't.
Do I think they're good quality?

Definitely. They're better than most brushes you're going to get at a basic store like Walmart or Target, but they're not as good as what you'll get at a high-end store.

In all, these brushes are alright depending on what you're using them for. The variety of brushes that comes in the set is great. I don't think I've ever seen a kit that comes with this combination of brushes for the price. Really, you'll pay more for each brush individually for the same quality or fewer brushes. If you're looking for brushes that will do the job decently without costing a lot, these are perfect. If you're looking for professional brushes, these might not be for you unless you're looking to supplement brushes you already have or want additional brushes for travel. Honestly though, if you're experienced and already own high end brushes, you'll already know the quality based on the price of this set.

This product was provided to me for testing and review purposes, but I would never endorse something that I didn't believe was worthy of it and I would never post an opinion that wasn't my own.
