Is this set good for beginners?

Yes. It covers every basic face and eye step, so a beginner does not need to buy brushes separately. The trade-off is that some shapes are similar and take practice to tell apart.

Are the bristles synthetic?

Yes. The set uses synthetic hair, which is easier to clean and suitable for cream and powder products. Synthetic bristles are also a vegan-friendly choice.

Does it come with a case?

Yes. A matching carrying case is included, which helps for storage and travel.

How do I clean the brushes?

Wash with mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse until the water runs clear, and dry flat with the bristles pointing down. Avoid soaking the wood handle and ferrule.

How does it compare with a smaller brush set?

This set gives more shapes and a case, but a smaller curated set often has less overlap and may use better bristles per brush. Choose this one for variety, a compact set for simplicity.
