Review on SHANY Artisan’s Easel – Elite Cosmetics Brush Collection: Complete Kabuki Makeup Brush Set with Standing Convertible Brush Holder (18 pcs) by Janet Nelson

I remember when I started putting on my makeup. I was 20. I got my first real job and decided to self-medicate. Bought the exact same brushes. Shany was one of the first makeup brands I ever used. I wasn't a fan of her eyeshadows as they were very chalky and suited my skin tone. Yes. But their brushes cost $18 back then (2015). For this very set, they were pretty much the same as my cousins' expensive MAC makeup brushes. My cousin does celebrity makeup. When I showed her my brushes, she even went and bought a couple of sets. Although I'm not a professional makeup artist. I like to feel beautiful like every woman should. Many people assume that if their makeup doesn't work, it's either bad makeup or a bad makeup artist. But sometimes it's as simple as finding the right tools. Since then I've tried other brands of makeup brushes, even high-end brands, and not many of them can match Shany's quality. I've noticed their prices have gone up, but since I've had them I'll say the price increase was for good reason. They've obviously upgraded their packaging a bit. The case that the brushes came in is of much better quality than when we first bought it many years ago. And the brushes have a little more weight. The bristles or part of the brush has not changed at all. Thank god it was perfect! This is an update I am definitely grateful for. And definitely worth the price. I will continue to buy these as long as they keep making them with the same amazing quality.
