Complete Set of 12 Professional-Grade Brushes
This brush set features brushes used for applying powder, foundation, blush, and eye shadow. It also includes concealer, lip, spoolie, and mascara brushes and a dual eyebrow brush/lash comb. Each brush is designed with long, easy-to-grip handle for precision during application.

Handmade from Animal Hair for a Soft, Silky Feel
The cosmetics brushes are made from a combination of natural animal hair and synthetic hair, so they are soft and silky on top, yet firm and durable on the bottom. The brushes allow you to apply colors smoothly, while pigment does not cling to the hairs after application, so you can blend and reuse colors without cleaning every time.

Handmade with precision, each brush in the set is engraved with the SHANY logo.

Easy to Clean and Dry
You do not need to clean these brushes frequently, but when you do wash, it's easy--simply run the brushes under warm water, clean them with your favorite shampoo, and rinse thoroughly. You can let your brushes air dry or use a hair dryer for quicker results. Brushes should be cleaned once before first use.

Storage Pouch for Organization and Travel
For easy organization, the brushes are packaged in a slender folding pouch, that you can toss into your gym bag or purse. Each individual brush arrives packaged in clear plastic wrap to protect from dirt and dust.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very functional February 26, 2013

By Mindy M.

Here's what my experience has been with the brushes:
They look professional- love the colors. The bristles in mine were actually black which I prefer- makes it easier to see what's on them since I use a lot of light or saturated colors. They're soft and the application is very smooth and well-covered compared to many other brushes. I love the variety of sizes. What I dislike is the smell- I soaked mine in a body mist and rinsed before I used them- very potent scent when you open them. Also the pouch..don't plan on using that in any sort of regularity. It's not well constructed and it doesn't look nearly as neat or clean as the brushes themselves. If you're using the brushes either personally or professionally, highly recommend getting a good make up remover- these brushes cover so well that you'll really want to clean up or your foundation will wind up on your pillows/clothes at night. What works best for me is a toner- Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner with Aloe Vera + FREE Retinol Cream. Smells wonderful and cleans/moisturizes while removing the make up. Works on eyes too if you're not dosing your pads in it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Bargain, just make sure you do a VERY important step before use! March 7, 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase

This is one of those classic cases of, "You can't judge a book by its cover." I have good things, as well as bad things to say about this purchase, but overall, I am pleased and happy with what I purchased at the price of which I paid.

PROS: Obviously I am going to start out with the good things about this product!
- Sleek appearance. These brushes have a professional look with the sleek handles.
- Wide variety of eye brushes. This set is primarily a brush set focused on the eyes. You are given three brushes designed for your overall face.
- SOFT BRISTLES. This one was HUGE for me. I recently spent much more on a set of "professional" brushes and was very disappointed at how stiff the bristles were. I actually ended up RETURNING them, and I rarely return make up products.
- Easy to store. With the carrying pouch allowing you to roll up the brushes, it makes it super easy to keep them organized.
- Shipped with extra protection. When I opened this product, I found that the pouch was tightly rolled up, tied, and placed in a cellophane wrapper. When I unrolled the pouch, I found that each brush was wrapped in cellophane separately, and the face brushes actually come with hard plastic protectors to keep on at all times. I really thought this was great, since the larger brushes can so easily become mis-shaped.

CONS: Cause every review has to have em right?
- SMELL. The smell when you take this out of it's box will literally almost knock you over. It is terrible! This is where my comment, "You can't judge a book by its cover," or by its smell in this case. Seriously, prepare yourself!
- The pouch itself. The pouch was a huge let down in my opinion. However, I did not buy this product for the case. So if you are buying this because you really want a carrying case, don't buy this product. The seems were sewn together VERY sloppy, and some of the sections that divide the brushes appeared to not have been sewn shut at all! Very disappointing in this aspect.
- There is an extremely weird powder on these brushes when you open them. If you read the product description very closely, it says to be SURE to wash these brushes before your first use. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't read anything else in this review, which you really should because I KNOW my make up products, make SURE you read this. When I took the brushes out of the cellophane wrappers and ran my fingers through the bristles, this weird, gross smelling powder went flying into the air. Now, I am giving this company the benefit of the doubt by assuming this powder was something that settled in these bristles upon shipment.

OVERALL, I really do like this product and for the price, I am very happy I bought it. BUT you NEED to make sure you wash these before you use them. Trust me, you do NOT want that smelly, gross stuff on your face. DO NOT WASH THESE BRUSHES WITH YOUR SHAMPOO OR DISH SOAP! These products are WAY too harsh, and they will strip your bristles. However, I am in no way saying you need to go spend $15.00 on "special brush soap." I use and have always used baby shampoo on my brushes, even my expensive ones. It works great and easily washes out. Also, make sure you re-shape your brushes once you have them washed and that you let them COMPLETELY dry before you try and use them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it August 28, 2009

By LolaBunnie

First let me start by saying I love how fast I got these brushes! I ordered then August 26 and they were here on August 27. I used Amazon prime 2day free shipping. My case I received was a metallic green, the case itself obviously will not stay together forever and why should it, its made of cheap vinyl but anyway for 25 dollars you can't complain. The case has embossing on the lower right corner of the opening flap. It reads "Profound" my guess is that is the makers trademark. Opening the case you will notice it is held shut by two large silver magnetic snaps. The snaps are just punctured into the vinyl so once they come out they are gone for good. Each brush is held in place netting. The brushes that are sown in the first picture are not ALL the ones you will receive.

The brushes you should receive will be as follows: Two blush brushes, One large, one medium. A fan brush, A mascara brush, you should have one foundation brush (this will be the largest of the flat paint brush looking ones)you will have two concealer brushes that look almost identical, they are not, one is slightly longer and the brush is a bit wider then the other. you will have an angled brush that is best used for lining the top of the lids, a small lip brush, a brow comb/brush and an applicator. Each brush will come in plastic wrap to protect the brush. Four of the brushes will have a strong plastic "topper" keep the plastic that comes with the lip brush, fan brush and two blush brushes to help these keep their shape ladies.

The bristles on these brushes appear to be glued in fairly well, again for 25 dollars you shouldn't complain you are not getting M.A.C. brushes nor are you getting Dior. So if you are going to complain then just do yourself a favor and don't buy the brushes.

I will add my pictures of the case and each brush as soon as I find the connector to my digital camera. Then you can see what I think are more accurate photos of each brush..
