I thought when I saw the brush "Well at the price is nothing spanking", and did not expect too good quality - but I was really surprised! The smell is a bit artificial, will evaporate quickly after a wash - the survived awarded the brush, of course, the brush is not as flawless bound as many times more expensive counterparts - refers only to the length of the black brush hair - are a in the white part into it - the useful surface, however, is equally beautiful; Some brushes are more loosely bound, by fanning them out a little more, but both Foundation and Concealer and even blush, the finish is really great! So unbeatable for the price - and I use otherwise rather higher-priced brushes.
