This brush set is specially created for applying lipstick or lip gloss. The bristles are made of synthetic teaclone hair, and have a white color at the end of the hairs, so you can easily see how much product you are applying. The brush is handmade and is made of lightweight aluminum and fits well in the hand. The blur brush has a kind of dense sponge at the end, which you can use to blend 2 colors together or to tone a color out with. It is always recommended to wash your new makeup brush before use. Thereafter, the brush should be maintained by washing at least once a week.
