I was told that to make awesome smokey eyes is to have stiff eyeshadow brushes. Are these eye brushes stiff?

No, these are not terribly stiff, but you can achieve a nice smokey eye look just fine with these. :)

i would say they are a bit stiff for face painting, you need a much thinner stencil for that

In my opinion, yes! I was surprised to see they weren't cheap plastic brushes. They're very nice especially for the price.

They are definitely synthetic. It's a decent set of brushes (I love the eyeshadow brushes) but after extended use the powder and bronzer brush tend to shed a lot. Pretty good for synthetic, though.

I'll be honest, I do not have much experience on the subject, this is my first set of makeup brushes, and the truth is that its bristles are super soft, and I have washed several times and have not dropped a hair. It's probable that they are 100% natural goat hair, but I guess someone with more experience can get us out of this doubt.

I think they should be called soft. That's what they are labeled and what I always use. Don't detect that they are any different than what I always use. Had a little problem with the first one I used. Some bristles came loose after a few brushings but, so far, that hasn't continued as a problem.

I guess when I think of smokey eyes I think warm colors in the brown family. I think these colors are not too warm.

Pretty stiff, my guess is if your skin does poorly with coarse exfoliating scrubs it won't like this. It does soften overtime though.

They are a stiff nylon like a hair brush. Wish you were local I would give you mine!

This brush is wonderful for styling and the bristles are very stiff. They will hold the hair and there are also different heat settings.

Are the bristle very soft or more stiff? The soft bristle do not penetrate my hair well and makes it fuzzy and frustrating. thank you.

The packaging indicates "P.BT. Bristles." You can find information about this material on line. Some opinions seem to be that they are too stiff, but I don't find that true. They seem very gentle to me.

I love the one that's like a mascara brush. The other brush is a little harder then brushes I've had in the past but it works just fine with my eyebrows. I hope that helps.

Yes they're all face brushes! They would be too big to use on the eyes lol :( I purchased the set of 4 face brushes (black handle w/ silver ferrule), I'm pretty sure the titles vary depending on what item you choose to purchase.

Yes, I bought to use as eyeshadow and it works great. It is finely milled so it didn't irritate my skin or eyes.

About 1-1/2". I'd say they're pretty stiff at first so start with a gentle touch. Once I got used to them though I enjoy the feel of the brush on my skin. I'm pretty sure my skin has more moisture in it. You know to brush towards the heart, right?

I think so. They are just like paint brushes. I'm sure as long as you can wash out gel eyeliner with water you should be fine. :)
