16 Piece Black Makeup Brush Set

Anyone who has tried to blend foundation with a sponge and two mismatched brushes knows how it ends: patchy cheeks, a hard line along the jaw, and ten minutes gone before you have even started on your eyes. The problem usually is not your technique. It is not having the right brush for the job. This 16 piece set covers the whole face, from a tapered powder brush and a 3D max foundation head through an angled blush, a universal blender and a pro stippling concealer, down to a pencil blender, a lip brush and a fine eyeliner tip for the details that decide whether a look reads finished or rushed. Every handle is slim matte black with a polished silver ferrule, so the set looks like something worth leaving out on the vanity rather than burying in a drawer. They arrive standing in a quilted case studded with rhinestones, packed in a plain black gift box, which makes this one of those rare things you can happily buy for yourself or hand straight to someone else. Sixteen brushes, one case, no more making do. Pick up the right brush and blend like you mean it.
