Strizhenye brushes are not very suitable for making color transitions, smears are too clear. Set brushes are ideal for shading cosmetics, but the price for them is much higher. It is very important to pay attention to how firmly the pile is attached to the handle. Otherwise, you risk sending the tool to the trash after a month, because it will not be possible to work with them, if the pile climbs or the clip constantly flies from the handle. And care for such substandard brushes is difficult. It is better to check the quality immediately and do not overpay. The next moment: how much the brush is well stuffed and not saved on pile. It happens that the brush of the declared size is not at all the same as it should be. To check this, you need to grip the pile and see how large the gap remains in the cage. Good hands will not have a gap or it will be very small (no more than 1 mm). On the hands, you should not save, because you will not use them for 1 month or even 1 year. Good quality brushes will serve you much longer. Remember the proverb: "Miserly pays twice." Beware of Chinese counterfeits - most often these are huge sets of brushes.
