I'm not just makeup professional but also no longer a beginner and have very dry and sensitive skin. The brushes are really lonely top class, especially for the price! You do not smell weird when she gets out of the package, like many brushes do it unfortunately. You feel unspeakably soft and supple on the skin. With cheaper brushes that one I get to buy in the drugstore often had the experience that they feel too hard on my skin and irritate my sensitive skin. However, this is not the case. They are easy to apply and easy to clean. I use and clean them daily for about 10 days and so far no hairs are still unusual and brush have not lost the form.
