I have Sigma, Nars, Real Techniques, It cosmetics brushes and none of them is as soft as Singe brushes. These eye brushes are quite unique in that they are super soft but still has a little grit to them so they pick up shadows wonderfully. I have smaller eyelid spaces so I love the smaller detail brushes. The handles are perfect length so you can hold further away for a soft diffuse blend. Hardware seems very sturdy and the brushes clean well. My favorite eye brushes right now
