Considering it's a budget brand, I was pretty impressed with this kit by Broadcare! I'm not sure it would stand up to a professional kit for makeup artists, but for anyone who wears makeup daily it does the job well. I tested each of the brushes individually and they all pick up powder well and after washing I had no problems with shedding or hairs falling out. I did notice the thicker brushes took a little longer to dry than my old makeup set, but I honestly think that's because there are more hairs and they're pretty full compared to my older set.

I love that you get so many different types of brushes here, but one way they could be improved (though it's small) is by adding the type of brush on the stem of each of the brushes. That would help beginners to make-up remember the use of each brush and prevent confusion.

The bag they come in is similar to an artist brush bag, with each brush having its own little pocket. It's very cute and slightly padded, so it protects the brushes well and looks good doing so.

Happy with this brush set so far!
