It’s always a bit of a challenge to choose a brush set. It’s an investment in money, sure, but clean brushes are essential to your eyes so it matters a lot. Previously I’ve purchased four Vasanti brushes, two Stubby two regular, all for the eye, but I wanted the set. Truly excellent. Cruelty Free is my first requirement, quality is the second. Vasanti makeup and skin care always comes through on both, so do the brushes. I’ve used all sorts of powders, mattes, shimmer, glitter, lustre, even that tricky N. Denona creme to powder and the results have been uniformly wonderful using my brushes. I can’t recommend them enough.
