I haven’t upgraded my brushes, with the exception of one, in about 10 years. I really like the eyeshadow brushes, so I bought the full set bc I was looking to replace almost all face brushes. The standout brush, to me, is the blush brush. It picks up appropriate pigment amounts on the very pigmented blushes so you don’t want over apply. I tested between old brand and singe same very pigment brush same two taps and singe did not apply too much product while the other one did. Even if you don’t need all and choose to get individuals, I think you’ll be pleased with the brushes. I recommend.
