Product Review : Gifty's Daughter's Professional Brush Set!

Hey Pretties,
as every makeup artist knows or should know, you can't have enough brushes in your kit especially if you work frequently. So, growing an arsenal of brushes shouldn't be taken lightly. If you're based in Nigeria, like i am, its a bit of work to get good brushes at Great Prices.


For those who don't know, we have Brush-sets that are Indigenously branded  e.g TARA Orekelewa, BM Pro, Unveil, SLEEK (which isn't actually a Nigerian Brand) & of course, GIFTY's Daughter which is owned by Port-Harcourt based Makeup Artist Funke Preghafi.

I haven't met her in person, but from various chats, i must say she knows what she's doing. So after placing the order, the brushes arrived at my address 2days later via FEDEX & i must say i couldn't wait to try them.

Bag the Brushes came in
Brush Bag which doubles up as a Brush Belt (Super Cool!!)

VERDICT

  • They are absolutely terrific brushes
  • They are value for your money
  • i would buy them again
PROS
  • There are so many brushes,about 3 powder brushes (1 of which doubles as a blush brush) ; 4 Lip Brushes & Numerous Eyeshadow brushes
  • There was little shedding after the first wash, which was expected
  • The Monogrammed Flap helps to keep your brushes falling out of thePouch
  • The Pouch doubles as a Brush Belt which feels comfortable & sturdy when worn
  • The mesh allows for tiny items like items for Touch-ups,Tweezers, Cuticle Scissors and eyelash glue to remain in plain view
  • The Brushes are available in PH,Abuja & Owerri, but can be shipped nationwide
  • If you're a makeup artist on a budget, they're good enough for you
  • For professional makeup artists, they make good back-up brushes if not Great primary brushes
  • Aesthetics are on point (They look like Professional Brushes)


CONS
  • Since Funke isn't based in Lagos, the brushes take a maximum of 2 days to get to you after confirmation of payment
  • The Brushes aren't for people who don't know their brushes/ aren't makeup artists
