These are great brushes for those who like quality, but love low prices. I bought several of these individually (concealer brush and eye definer brush) as well as the brush collection (5 plus case for $32.50). They last through washings (as did the previous Garden Botanika natural hair brushes which they have since replaced with these). The concealer brush worked superbly with my cream undereye concealer and the Brush Collection Set included a Face Brush which is a short-bristled dense brush which worked great for applying pressed powder more heavily onto my skin.
