These brushes really are great, I have not been disappointed by any of the brushes I have purchased from this website. The only thing is that they are expensive, to me they were worth it due to the fact that I had the mindset of getting brushes that really work and will last me. I have had the brushes for about 3 years and they still work wonders. You have to keep them clean and don't forget to wash them and take good care of them. If you are serious about makeup and can afford it, I highly suggest getting these as opposed to other high end makeup brushes like MAC. They work the same, I like sigmas makeup brushes even more.
