Not great quality. Good for beginners.

A great set for those just starting out with makeup. This set is not for experienced makeup artists as you will be disappointed in the quality. I didn't have high expectations. These sets are usually not of the best quality. But for those who are just starting out, especially if it is a small child who has no experience in makeup. Of course, it can be difficult to mix them with cosmetics that are not of the best quality, but I don't see this as a problem for those who are just starting out with makeup. They don't do anything too complex, so the base set works like a starter set. It has everything you need in a starter kit: Makeup brushes - 3 for the face and 2 for the eyes. Handles feel like wood. This is VERY poor cheap quality. As soon as I took them out, some of the tips were already loose. I've managed to twist and squeeze them to make them feel tight, but I don't see them holding up for long. The bristles are soft. The bristles of facial brushes seem to be mostly even, but there are also longer ones. With 2 eye brushes, the bristles are cut extremely unevenly. You lose badly. Eyeliner (sealed in a plastic bag). This is a pencil that needs sharpening. In black. It's not very pigmented. I took photos with patterns. The top line was the first line I drew with it. The middle line was the second and I walked through it several times. I've gone through the point a number of times. eyebrow pencil. The color is not specified but it is brown. angle tip. It spins. coil at the other end. I took a photo of the rehearsal. It seems to match the eyebrow pencil. It is waxy and not very pigmented. You have to press too hard to get the pigment. Gel for eyebrows. Again no color specified, looks like medium brown. (In the product packaging). I took a photo with a sample. It looks like it would match an eyebrow pencil. Waterproof mascara (sealed in a plastic bag) 3 colored matte lip creams (each in a plastic bag) 1 clear lip balm 4 lipsticks (each in its own bag) Pack of small cotton squares 3 reusable brow stencils 1 bottle of foundation (without outer packets/boxes). It looked like he'd go without an eyedropper, but he ended up with an applicator on a deer's foot. The shade is lighter, I would say light to medium. The bottom of the bottle says '03' and the bottom of the concealer says FC03 so I'm guessing they must be the same color even though the concealer looks a lot darker. I took swatches to show the colors side by side. For this I made a pattern with a deer claw applicator, then applied a little and blended a little. It's very thick but creamy. I took 2 photos of the pattern - one right after and one 5 minutes later. It darkens a bit as it dries. 1 jar of concealer (in separate pack). Quite a dark shade for my fair skin. I would say it's medium or medium to dark. It's interesting that it's so dark considering the base tone is much lighter. The bottom of the jar says "FC03" and the bottom of the base says "03" so I'm guessing they MUST be the same. But the concealer is definitely darker. You can see on the pattern. Easy to absorb, pigmented but a bit thick and sticky. I took 2 photos of the pattern - one right after and one 5 minutes later. It darkens a bit as it dries. 1 small makeup sponge, 1 concealer/color corrector palette (plain black plastic palette with clip. It is in a separate box with the product). 1 eyeshadow palette (this is a cardboard palette with an outer cardboard sleeve sealed in a plastic wrap). It's small, fits in a pink bag that holds everything. It has 40 shades. The frying pans are damn small! I usually like to try out a palette, but this time the bowls were damn tiny, I could barely fit the tip of my pinky finger in them! So I chose only a few colors. As with many lower quality eyeshadows, the shimmer wasn't bad. In the swatches, all the shimmers are applied in one go, except for two purple ones where I applied two strokes. The mats were fine. Not very pigmented, done in 2 coats. But they have settled in well. There is a lot of headwind. But to the touch they are soft and smooth. They are definitely suitable for beginners. 2 tubes of glitter (I have gold and purple, not sure if they are random colors or always the same). Look through the pink zip bag, it's all included. All in all this is a good set. This is perfect for beginners to get a full face. As I said, this is not the best quality, but it is suitable for a beginner who is just starting to do makeup and has nothing and no experience. I also don't think this set is suitable for someone with experience. You will be disappointed with the quality.
