A while ago I received these brushes as a gift from Crystal of BftE Cosmetics. This is their 18 piece vegan brush set.
These are vegan brushes that come with a professional brush roll. They’re grey in appearance.
This is an angled liner brush and a pointed liner brush. I use some form of pointed liner brush just about every day to line my eyes. If the brush is thin enough, like the one above, I’ll use it to line my eyes or define my brows.
These are shadow brushes and concealers. You can use them for lid work or concealing. They’re nice and dense.
These are more shadows and concealers. You can use them for fine detail work, or the smaller ones possibly as lip brushes. They work well at depositing color on the lid with either the patting motion or a sweeping motion.
This is the doe footed brush. To me, it’s perfect for crease work. It lets you blend out lines easily. I’ve never seen a brush with its shape before, but I really love it.
The smallest brush in this set works well for blush, but it can also be used to contour. It’s a tad larger than the other brush that I use for contouring, but it works fairly well for contouring because of how dense it is. Same with blush. I love the angled brush for blush, too. The powder brush is nice as well. I love how dense all three of these brushes are.
Finally, these are the spoolie, fan brush and sponge brush. The sponge brush is a high quality sponge and I think it works well for blending out edges. The spoolie is what I use to help with mascara clumps. The fan brush can be used to highlight on the cheeks.
Price:
$45 for 18 brushes, which breaks down to about $2.50 per brush.
The brushes are very dense and the bristles are smooth. They feel very similar to the Too Faced Teddy Bear Hair brushes. They offer just about every single type of brush in this set. The only brushes that I feel are missing are:
A highligher brush (for the browbone, like my ecoTools highlighter)
A blending brush (like the MAC 224)
They have everything else in this set. I think it’s a fantastic set if you’re looking to round out your brush collection, or if you’re looking to start a brush collection. These are really great brushes and a steal for the price. The only possibly negative thing that I can say about them is that the handles are very long, in professional makeup artist style. I prefer shorter handles, but even that doesn’t detract from the quality of the brushes or stop me from using them.
To care for them, I wash each brush after it’s been used once and I use Dr. Bronner’s pure castile soap to cleanse them. They’ve had minimal to no shedding (depending on the brush). I’ve only had a few stray hairs after the first wash, which wasn’t bad at all.
Would I purchase them?
Yes! Especially if they ever came out in a fuchsia set!
Product was a gift. All opinions are my own.

Hello Cotton
I’m on a brush-spree lately, so I personally find it SLIGHTLY unfair of you to give this a positive review, because now I have to buy it, and since I don’t own any BTFE you KNOW I’ll end up buying eyeshadows too.

This looks like a great set. I prefer black handles on my brushes though. I know it sounds nitpicky, but…

Believe it or not, I’ve never purchased a brush set. I’ll pick up a brush here or there, but I’ve definitely been on the lookout for a good vegan brush set. I might have to check these out.

I’m intrigued by the doe foot brush, I’ve not seen one like it before. I kind of want to apply lip gloss with it but that can’t be worth the hassle. Concealer or something? If I had it I might use it for those two things.
Really cool brush roll. I like the white colour, it looks classy.
Oooh, I WANT that doefoot brush!

2.50 a brush isn’t too bad. Usually when things are too cheap I get suspicious though!
Can’t say I’m a fan of the grey, but I might check these brushes out at a later date since I’m in need of adding a few to my collection. Good review

Wow, that doe-foot brush looks interesting..and useful! You’ve totally created a lemming in me with this review ;D

That’s a really great price for such a large set of brushes. I’d want shorter handles though.
I forgot to mention that Illamasqua brushes are also vegan on your post about different brush sets. They are very expensive though, like MAC expensive.
What a wonderful set! I’m going to make a note of this.
I get a lot of my make up brushes from art supplies stores, so the handles tend to be quite long! I just snap/cut off the excess and use aluminum tape to cover the ends.
Fan brushes are also very good at sweeping away eyeshadow fall out
If they make a fuchsia or peppermint set, I am definitely going to pick a set up!
The set sounds great but I do wish they weren’t grey, I’m such a sucker for prettiness
You can get a similar Doe foot brush from ELF the angled contour brush from the studio line
