These brushes are so soft and make the makeup application so easy. Other brushes have a tendency to wipe away foundation while putting on blush or bronzer. The brushes are so soft and well designed, all products go on so quickly and easily, I can't sing their praises enough! I'm not kidding when I say using these brushes was like, "bam! perfection! boom! Flawless! Out the door!" So good! If you are going to invest in brushes, these are the brushes to invest in!
