I recently tried a 35-piece makeup brush set and overall I was actually impressed. The set comes with a wide range of brushes for face and eyes, which makes it really good if you're building your makeup collection or just starting out. When I first opened it, the brushes felt soft and the handles felt pretty sturdy instead of cheap or flimsy.
The face brushes work well for powder, bronzer, and blush, and they pick up product nicely without making the makeup look patchy. The eyeshadow brushes were probably my favourite part of the set because they blend shadows smoothly and make it easier to create different eye looks. I also liked that there were multiple blending brushes because those are the ones I use the most.
Another good thing is that the brushes didn’t shed much when I used them, which is something that can happen with bigger brush sets. After washing them, they still kept their shape and stayed soft.
Overall, I think this 35-piece set is worth it, especially for beginners
