AliExpress brushes worth it or worthless?

Hello glowy girls,

To finish this week in beauty, I wanted to talk to you about makeup brushes. I think you've already asked yourself this question:

Are cheap make-up brushes worth it or worthless?

Today's blogpost will be a review of Makeup Brushes I purchased off AliExpress.  

 So I ordered this lot of 12 makeup brushes, 8 for the eyes and 4 for the complexion. They are delivered in their plastic pouch.

I've included close-up pics of the brushes so you can get a better look of the brushes.

I tested these brushes for several weeks and instead of doing a simple review, I wanted to give you my opinion on these brushes, but especially what kind of brush are really interesting.

My order

You will find these makeup brushes from different sellers on AliExpress, wish or other sites. For this order, I went through a seller who was well rated and the prices were correct. 

The entire order, shipping included, returned to 3.99$. I received the package in 15 days while the delivery was announced by the seller between 22 and 40 days. 
And yes, it's not too long compared to other orders coming from China!!

My opinion

the hairs are soft and pleasant to the touch. Brushes for eyes, make it not easy to apply eye shadow with precision but for daily use and classic makeup they worth it.

Brushes for the face do their job. They are perfect for applying finishing powder, blush and contouring. However, I prefer to have stiffer hair to apply my powder foundation. Hair that is too soft does not work properly. For the same reason, I do not think they are suitable for applying a liquid foundation, but this is only my personal opinion.

I have already washed twice; they lose some hair but nothing really bad.

But then, is it really interesting to buy cheap brush kits on amazon, wish or AliExpress?

Yes and no, it depends on what you want to do.

For application brushes, blushes, powders, correctors, illuminator, yes clearly, the cheap brushes are largely sufficient. Personally, I prefer some gold brush for the complexion and I only use "dupe" brushes for the correction of the complexion or the application of eye shadow.

Why? Because these brushes do not require precision in the work. Of course, I'm talking about everyday makeup, classic, no makeup artist. There, you need good gear as they say.

Girls, if you do not want to invest big sums in make-up brushes then I suggest you take a ride on AliExpress. Before you buy, check that the seller is correctly rated for their transactions and that the product you want has positive feedback from other buyers.

And you, do you have cheap brush kits? What do you think about it?

or if you only have brand brushes, what is your opinion on cheap brushes found everywhere on the internet?

I wish you a good Sunday
