Really great brushes for the price!

I rarely write reviews but I wanted to write about it because knowing how to properly care for cheap makeup brushes is a lot. I'm a fan of beauty products and I have a lot of makeup brushes, both expensive and cheap. It's really awesome! They are dense and have the right shape. I love Kabuki style brushes for foundation and cream products they are just great! Synthetic bristles also make cleaning easier. The downside to these brushes is that they are not very well assembled. Although this is easy to fix. All you need is a hot glue gun and a pen (or something that looks like a pen). Here's what I do: 1) Wash them thoroughly. They have that chemical factory smell that comes from all the cheap brushes that are ordered from China. Let them dry. 2) Detach the handle from the brush head. Yes, I separated the handle. They don't stick well, so people complaining about brushes breaking or bristles falling out, that's why. Since there isn't much glue holding them together, the handles come off fairly easily. 3) Apply hot glue to the back of the brush head. BE CAREFUL, THE METAL PART WILL GET HOT (I RECOMMEND USE GLOVES ON THIS PART). Pour some hot glue onto the back of the brush head and CAREFULLY run the handle over it. This will help secure the bristles better. Then apply some hot glue to the edge of the brush head and quickly insert the handle. This will help you secure the grip more effectively. I've done this with all my brushes (and I've used this technique with other inexpensive brands too) and it works well. Yes, it takes a little extra work to make them last, but for the price I think it's worth it. The only other complaint I might have is that they absorb a lot of moisture. So when you dry them after washing them, try to dry them upside down. Otherwise great purchase!
