Product Review: TARIES 24 PIECE BRUSH SET

 A couple of weeks back, I purchased Taries’ 24 piece brush set for a student of mine..                         

I have been using it in training her- to enable her get acquainted with the brushes.

 I therefore decided write a review on it (based on my experience with the brushes)

The brushes are synthetic and comes in an attractive orange colour. 

 Each brush has the name of its function (what it does) printed on it- which I think is a very helpful feature  especially for freshly trained Makeup Artists as this helps you know the purpose of each brush without needing extra help.

 

The pouch like brush holder that comes with the brush set is a plus, as it saves you the extra cost of purchasing a pouch for your brushes.

 

Being a 24 piece brush set (i.e variety of brushes), it has lots of brushes which you might not find if you are purchasing a 12 piece brush set. For instance,                                                                        

The flat eyeliner brush (very useful when applying gel eye liner or pencil eye liner).                                                                             

Two different lip brushes (one is really great for lining the lips i.e without a lip pencil).                                                                       

The concealer brush: which worked well for me when used in applying an under eye concealer.                                                                                                                   I loved the foundation brushes because I ended up having a smooth finish while working with them.

 

The downside I experienced was with the powder brush- it didn't give me the ‘fullness’ I am used to (maybe it because it is a new brush and is still product free).

 Facts about synthetic brushes.                                                        I did a little research and found that synthetic brushes are:                                                                                                        

Less likely to get damaged by makeup and the products we use in cleaning them.                                                                                                          They are also easier to keep clean since they don’t absorb makeup pigment.                                                                                                

Better suited for people that are sensitive to animal hair or hair which other types of brushes are made from.   

It is a better option for you if you are a vegetarian.                                                                                        

Synthetic brushes are better for creating a soft/ natural look with makeup. 

From my experience, I would keep recommending this brush set to prospective Makeup Artists
