Why are these so cheap compared to the retail price? I mean i thinks its a great deal but are the quality of the brushes the same?

Hi Jeanette, Thank you for your question. This is a premium quality makeup brush set. The current price is only for a limited time and will go up very soon.

These are definitely standard. I haven't found any choice as far as the bristles and don't know that they are offered. I'd be interested if they do offer softer ones.

Hello :), these brushes are great for the price and are comparable but I would not say a dupe. I only had shredding with the pointed tip brush. The other three are great and they blend foundation really well. Give them a try and also try to get them directly from amazon or a US seller, because in doing so you will receive them faster. If you have anymore questions I will gladly answer.

I think this is a great choice...I love these brushes they are so soft and fluffy but they get the job done and haven't had any shedding.

I gave the brushes as a gift to my sister-in-law. She has not washed them yet, but said none of the brushes has blue and black on the white bristles. She said they are very nice quality. Sorry I can't be of more help.

These particular brushes are genuine Philips replacement heads. There are other generic brushes on the market of questionable quality. But, these are the "real deal"!

The quality of the brushes for the price paid was more than what I expected. I have only had them since Christmas time, but so far they are holding up well.

I felt the bristles were very comparable to the originals. I did not feel they were any less firm. Also, you cannot beat the price! :)

If cost is a concern, then by all means get cheaper if you know the quality is similar; to each their own. I personally think these were worth it for the price :).

yes, that was the intent behind my purchase - i love doing nail art - these brushes are the perfect size for that sort of art... though i actually used some of them to apply face makeup once, they worked well for that, as well. the best way to use them is to place a few drops of polish on a small glass/plastic/minutely absorptive surface (i've been using magazines pages) and dip the brush to that (rather than dipping the brushes straight into the bottle). do keep in mind, these are not high-quality; they are a perfect starter set for anyone, and if they so choose to upgrade to higher quality natural brushes later, they can do so with the confidence that they will know how to utilize them to their fullest potential.

They are the same size as sigma brushes. Check out makeupnme on YouTube, I just watched her review and its on point. I've had these and the eye set since the beginning of june and I use them everyday, they are great!

In my opinion they are not made by Clarisonic. Compared to my clarisonic brushes these were not of the same quality. There were way fewer bristles in the brushes & when I used one the bristles just splayed out when I put it against my skin even with a small amount of pressure so that the brush tips weren't even touching my skin just the sides.

I think they are soft but that is just my opinion. They are soft to touch as well soft on my face as I don't have sensitive skin. However, for $3 is a pretty good deal. And they are about 9 - 11 in brushes. I hope this helps.

I think they are comparable to the original brush heads. I have been pleased with them and have bought them for several years. Sure can't beat the savings!

I have not had to replace the brushes as yet. I would think Amazon would sell the proper brushes.

I don't know actually. Is there a market for rip-offs? When you get the brush, it comes in the same style box they've used all along. You can tell by the quality it's a genuine brush. High quality. I love this brush. I also have the soft bristle version for my young girls and they actually won't let me brush their hair with anything else. I'm sure it'll be fine buying from a verified Amazon seller.
