Basic but lasts a very long time!

I received a set of caryl baker brushes several years ago as a gift and they have served me well. The set was pretty basic; a powder, contour, and blush brush along with three eye shadow brushes (a shader, a flat applicator and a liner), a spoolie and a long handle sponge tip applicator (which was the sole loser in the bunch).

At the time I was a beginner to makeup and found the set and quality of brushes to be perfect. The handles are well made and sturdy. The bristle. don't shed even after 7+ years of regular washing. The brushes are natural hair, so I can't use them with cream products, but that's fine.

The set was everything I needed as a beginner, they are easy to maintain and still useful even now that my brush collection had grown significantly.
