Jessop makeup brushes



I just opened a package with these wonderful brushes from eBay inside. I was a little hesitant at first because i wasn't sure if  they would be true quality stated in the description and pictures. It took 16 days for them to arrive but the estimated delivery was much longer 17-33 days. They are amazing quality brushes and I will definitely purchase from this seller again. They cost £12.98 with free delivery which is a brilliant deal for how good these are. It includes 5 large brushes and 5 small brushes. From the photo i have shown above you can see that each small brush has a matching larger brush. You can chose from various colours i was stuck in-between black and gold or black and silver and i decided black and gold because i don't have a set with those colours. 
 (1)Small tapered brush/ (1)Large tapered brush
The small brush will be great for concealer, especially under the eye. 
The large brush will be good for applying foundation. In my opinion i don't like using the average flat foundation brush i prefer the stippling/blending brushes. But i haven't used one like this before so i will definitely be giving it a go!
(2)Small flat top brush/ (2)Large Flat top brush
The small brush is a even smaller version on MAC's 130 brush. I think this will work perfectly for concealer. It is small enough to get into those awkward spaces like around the nose. 
The large brush is a classic stippling and blending brush. It is very compact and super soft! i can not wait to use this one!
(3)Small rounded brush/ (3)Large rounded brush
The small brush again will work great for concealer but also for packing on eye shadow, for the crease or blending. This is a great multi-purpose brush which i will be trying to see what it works best for.
The large brush is another stippling and blending brush but with a rounded top. I have a similar brush from Kirkland Signature (costco) and i love it and i find my self reaching towards it when applying my foundation. This brush is another multi-purpose brush. I think is works well with cream products such as blush/ bronzers/ highlighters. But it will also work with powders or liquids.
(4)Small angled rounded brush/ (4)Large angled rounded brush
I already know this Small brush is going to be excellent for contouring. Both the nose and cheek bones. It is very compact and the angled shape makes it easier for contouring.
This larger brush will also work similar to the larger (3) brush. But this will also work for contouring of cheekbones and forehead and I think it will do well for blending out the colour.
(5)Small angled flat top brush/ (5) Large angled flat top brush
The small brush will also work well for concealer. I don't think i will get much use out of this brush as it is very similar to small brush (2) and i prefer that one as it has a flat top. but i will experiment with this one to see what i can use it for.
The large brush isn't as compact as i would want it if i was using it to apply foundation, but i think it would be a good brush to use if you want a thinner layer of foundation.
I adore this brushes and definitely recommend everyone to get these especially for the price! the seller i received these from was very helpful and i will link the brushes HERE
They also do other brush sets which i hope to get soon!
