What is included in the set?

Six brushes: a domed foundation brush, a small pointed powder brush, a rounded cream and liquid blush brush, a large rounded blender eyeshadow brush, a large paddle packer eyeshadow brush, and a dual-ended angled brow brush and spoolie. A silicone travel bag is also included.

Are the brush heads smaller than full-size brushes?

No. The handles are downsized for travel, but the heads are full-sized, so application should feel like a standard brush.

What does the silver ion in the bristles do?

The brand says silver ion is known to have antibacterial benefits. Treat that as a brand claim rather than a guarantee, and clean the brushes regularly.

Does it work with cream and liquid products?

Yes. The domed foundation brush is made for pressing in and buffing out foundation, and the rounded blush brush is made for cream and liquid blush and bronzer.

Is it a good set for beginners?

It covers the core face and eye steps in one kit, which makes it a reasonable starting point. It does not include a dedicated concealer or fine detail brush.
