Sorry ladies, I totally missed this question on the last page. I am by no means an expert, but I do love a great makeup brush.
Keep in mind I am a brush snob. I have a large collection of high end brushes (mostly MAC and Laura Mercier). I worked as a freelance MA for Laura Mercier for over 5 years and have done quite a lot of freelance work, so I may not be the "average person" when it comes to brushes.
I scoped out the holiday brush sets this weekend and the only one I would consider buying is the eye set. I did not like the Face or Basic sets at all. Personally, full-size, high quality handmade brushes are totally worth the investment, IMO. I have MAC brushes from the 90s that are still going strong.
However; if you are looking to expand/start your collection, the brushes are certainly decent. And the short handles make them excellent for travel. Completely depends on where you are coming from. Different things work for different people.
A lot of people love the MAC SE sets, but in my opinion the quality has gone down with these new brush sets then with ones I have gotten in the past. However, I have no complaints about MAC's full size brush line, they are wonderful, very well made and I can't wait for the new LE ones coming out in January.
HTH a bit. Sorry, did not mean to make this novel-length!
