A makeup brush set is a great way to go if you enjoy makeup
application, you are creative with application and you are always trying new
things, and/ or you find its a practical way to purchase makeup brushes since
you are starting with few to none.
For the rest of you, namely those who have a very low key,
practical approach to your makeup use, would likely be happier with the
efficiency of owning exactly what you need...no more, no less (actually, that
short list sometimes can be found in a set too).
Makeup sets can range in quantity of brushes depending on the
brand or the retail price points manufacturers are trying to hit.

Most good brush sets include at least some variation of these
five:
-
a large powder brush
-
a blush brush
-
an eye shadow brush
-
an eyeliner brush
-
and a lip brush
...and in a nutshell those are the bare bone 'essential' brushes
that one would need to complete the basics of a good makeup application...
 My
essential brushes shortlist includes those above, plus three more...
-
a concealer brush...this step is key to an even skin tone
(for most of us)
-
a foundation brush...a must have for any liquid application
makeup
-
lashes & brows brush...separating clumps out of lashes
and grooming brows into place can make or break the polish and presentation
of your overall impression
Sephora's own brand offers a wide range of quality brushes, but
particularly good value sets...If you want an essentials type set, that includes
my essential brushes list, take a look at Sephora's 'Perfect Ten' Makeup Brush
Set.
Plus one tool that makes a tremendous difference for everyone...

They can also be sold in much larger sets...with a professional
range of brush styles (not necessarily pro quality though...buyer beware).
This is where one would ask themselves, "Realistically, will I use all of
these brushes?"
Makeup brushes
sold in sets usually create better value per brush because of the price
break of selling multiple items. If, however, you buy too many, with
ones you will never likely never use...you of coarse lose the value.
So, make
sure you choose a brush set that suits your makeup needs. As with any purchase, its your
judgment call, so do some homework, examine
the quality components listed, and review consumer comments.
