Professional Eyeliner Makeup Brush Set – 2pc Beauty Junkees Eye Liner Brushes Includes Angled Precision Gel Liner for Tightline, Pencil Smudge for Blending Shadows on Lash Line; Premium Quality

I have a lot of makeup brushes and am always looking for more, especially dupes for MAC and Sigma brushes. I mainly hoard eye makeup brushes and like to purchase them individually to get exactly what I need, but went ahead and got this set because it ends up being $3/brush. If you are looking to get started without having to decipher Morphe/Crown brush numerology, this is a great set that will give you everything you need.Let me get the bad out of the way first: the SMELL. These brushes WREAKED of chemical/solvent smell. I assume it is the glue. It took a day or so for the smell to dissipate, but I washed them all before use anyway. I was pretty gentle with washing, so I didn’t have problems reshaping them.I do love that Beauty Junkees provides instructions and followup tips/tricks and the bag, although nothing special, is the perfect size for brushes. It is pretty wide so that brushes don’t get damaged being stuffed into the bag!These brushes are on par with budget brands like Morphe and Crown, which are also decent dupes for MAC and Sigma. I have mostly Sigma (and Morphe dupes) eye brushes, so I’ve compared these Beauty Junkie brushes to them.Some of the Beauty Junkees brushes are a wee bit longer, and sometimes they are thicker/fluffier, sometimes not. That doesn’t actually make them better if what you are seeking is precision. However, all brushes applied color evenly and with the density expected. They are also very soft, which I didn’t expect from pony hair brushes (I prefer sable over pony). I didn’t really have a problem with any of the brushes I tested.All-over Shader - Compared to Sigma E55, B&H Cosmetics 23This is my go-to type of brush to pack on color quickly. It is firm and gives a good coat of color. I use it all over, even in the crease - using the tip to apply precise color then blend it out w/ another brush. I usually like to have several of these on hand, including my MAC 252 and Sigma E60, which are larger brushes. I chose to compare only to the brushes that I had that were pretty much the same size. The BJ brush is slightly longer than the Sigma and B&H Cosmetics brush. The BJ brush is slightly thicker than Sigma but not as thick as the B&H. (The MAC equivalent for this brush would be the 239, but I couldn’t find mine to compare.)Blending - Compared to Sigma E25, Morphe M433This is my #2 type of brush. I normally use 2-3 during my makeup routine for more controlled application of different crease colors and then to blend out them out. (As you can see, mine are well-loved/stained/used!) This brush is a little bit longer than both the Sigma and Morphe brushes and also has a different layered/pointed shape. This brush is good for getting precise color into the crease of the eye and would work well for a very defined crease and cut crease look. I think this brush will not wear as well as the Sigma (which is synthetic) and end up looking frazzled like my Morphe ones bc of the layering of different bristle lengths and because it’s a natural fiber. It’s also not as thick as the other two brushes as well. (The MAC equivalent for this brush would be the 217, but mine is missing!)Tapered Blending - Compared to Sigma E40, Morphe M330This is a bigger fluffy brush and I use this type to blend out everything in the end, and not so much for color application. BJ’s brush is also a bit longer, wider, fluffier than the Sigma and Morphe. The Morphe actually has more of a pointed shape and is similar in shape to the BJ Blending (white one). BJ’s brush smaller than the B&H 12 tho (which I didn’t photograph bc it’s so much larger), but it is also large enough to be used as a nose/cupid’s bow highlighter. (MAC equiv is 224.)Pencil Brush - Compared to Sigma E30, Morphe M431, MAC 219The BJ brush is slightly longer, but also nice and pointed. I didn’t have too much of a problem getting the precision I needed, but it is not a true dupe for the MAC 219, which is a good deal shorter and more pointed. The thickness was on par with MAC tho, while the Sigma and Morphe brushes are almost identical and a tiny bit smaller in circumference. I use this for outer-V color, precise crease color, inner eye and lower lid smudging/grunge look. I also use this shape brush to do a splash of color in the inner arch? - I don’t even know what to call it, but it’s the gold color in the last photo of Jem makeup.Angled Shader - Compared to Sigma E70The BJ brush is slightly longer and a little bit narrower. For this type of brush, used mainly as a highlighter, the extra length is not a problem. I don’t use this brush often tho; I use the all-over shader to do by brown bone. (MAC equiv is 275.)Eye liner - Compared to Sigma E65I don’t use these as much unless I want a thicker cat eye using cream/gel liner. The BJ brush is pretty much the same size as the Sigma, but more angled. If I do use this type of brush, it’s on my eyebrows to fill in gel color. (MAC equiv is 263.)There are a few I probably won’t use too much: the two flat eye liners and the crease brush. The angled one is a little too big for my needs and the flat one is way too big but could be useful for really precise color to the lower lash line. It is nice and stiff. I tend to use 1/8” artist paintbrushes instead of actual eyeliner brushes.The crease brush is smaller version of the tapered blending brush, but is synthetic fiber so it might not pick up color as well. But I’m sure I’ll grab it every now and then to blend if I don’t have a clean blender handy. Or I may try it out with my Colorpop cream eyeshadows.I was going to give only 4 stars because of the smell, but after writing all this and reflecting on the products and value, 5 stars!I received a discount for my honest opinion, which I have provided.

So, I suck at writing reviews but one thing is for sure. These brushes are bomb. I loved how my eyeshadow ended up. As you can see for yourselves; I decided to challenge the brushes with a sunset eyeshadow look and it come out gorgeous. The brushes are soft giving it somewhat of airbrush finish. I give it a big thumbs up. Totally recommend.

I've always had a jumble of various brushes so decided to try this set after seeing some positive reviews on Youtube and I have to say I am really impressed, this is a great eye set. The Pro Blending brush is very similar to the Mac 217, maybe just the tiniest bit taller and more tapered at the top, which I quite like. The Pro Pencil brush is almost identical to the Mac 210, just a little softer and I actually like it better because of that, and having a pencil brush is great for carving out the eye socket, especially if you have more hooded eyes. I think my very favorite brushes in the set are the Pro Crease and the Pro Blending brushes, they are soft and feel nice, and diffuse color in a very good way without overdoing it. I would love if they had a small smudge brush for the lower lash line as well, that would really round off the set nicely but I still think you could buy this set and you would have everything you need, and the price cannot be beat. I'm actually giving away most of my other brushes because I don't really need them anymore now that I have this set.

Just finished my makeup look this morning with my Pur x Barbie pallet and I'm not a makeup artist but this came out much better than I anticipated. I belive it has everything to do with the brushes! I high recommend buying them if you like playing in makeup. I bought these by searching for Sigma brush dupes and this came up in the results and for the price it was easy to say yes to buying these. The quality is really good. I like the bag it comes with its high quality feeling. The brushes have a nice weight to them not light and flimsy. The brushes are firm yet soft and pack on the color right where you need it. I'm still learning but this helps make a newbie look almost professional. Now just to learn how to blend more in the crease! I used the pro angled shading, pro crease, pro flat definer, pro all over shader, pro pencil and lastly the pro taper blending brushes for my look. These are very good value!

Most of these brushes seem good, they are soft and do give good coverage. However the white blending brush has already, after one use, lost its fibres quite dramatically. I was a little suspicious of the low price, so beware, the quality might not be what you expect from the name. However, as a basic set of brushes at a reasonably low price, these seem fine.

Really good - I just wish there was a second pencil brush as its so useful!

Great brush set

Pur non essendo pù una ragazzina mi sono avvicinata al mondo del make up da poco e sono alla ricerca dei prodotti migliori per truccarmi. Con questi pennelli riesco a creare dei look perfetti, gli ombretti si stendono bene e il pennello da sfumatura pro tapered blending per la sfumatura finale è il migliore in assoluto. Ancora non ho avuto modo di usarli tutti ma c'è tutto quello che serve per creare un trucco occhi da effetto wow, anche per principianti come me.

loved all the brushes but one - the pro blendingit was so frayed and very scratchy and generally unusable as the bristles would split on my eyelid and scratch my eye if i go too close to my lashline. the pencil brush was also slightly frayed but it's usable. everything else works as intended. bristles were soft for all the others.
