Mikasa Beauty: Professional 8 Piece Makeup Brush Kit

I have an exciting review that I'll be sharing with you guys! For those of you that follow me on Instagram know that I affiliated with Mikasa Beauty! This is exciting for me! I've turned down a few affiliations, because I was just not impressed with the brand's products. I just didn't want to promote products that I didn't like. I always want you guys to see my honest opinion on everything and anything that I post! I'm glad that it worked out with Mikasa Beauty, because I really do like their brushes! I haven't tried everything that this brand carries, so I can only speak of their brushes! Their brushes are only sold online at http://www.mikasabeauty.com/. They have partnered up with other brands to sell cosmetics, hair products, skincare and lashes on their website! This review will be on the 8 Piece Essential Kit that I've received, which I can't wait for you guys to see!

Mikasa Beauty Brushes!

Such great quality for the price!

We'll start off with the packaging like usual. They look exactly like the MAC brushes! They have a black handle with the silver top! They have Mikasa written on them in silver along with the brush number. The brushes are very sturdy and have a good weight to them. They feel exactly like MAC brushes! The brushes may look basic, but I find brushes with black and silver always look more professional, so I'm all about it! This set also came with a really nice brush case! It's super and I mean super sturdy! It has a really good weight to it! I'll definitely be using it when I travel!  The box that the brushes and case came in is also really nice! It has this really nice luxurious feel to it! Like, I throw out my boxes, but this box is so nice that I just want to display it on my vanity! It's black and gold with really nice detailing to it! Overall, the presentation of these brushes is just wow! This brush set retails for $90USD , however if you use the coupon code "MUBYDIVYA15", you'll get 15% off your total purchase! It's a complete steal, because you're getting 8 high quality brushes! Remember, one MAC Face brush retails for at least $40, which is half the value of this whole brush set!

Here is the case! 

And here is the box!

Before I break down each brush, let's talk about the overall quality of these brushes. As mentioned, these are professional brushes! This set has a mixture of natural, synthetic and goat hair brushes! When it comes to MAC brushes, the one thing that I can't stand is that some of the brushes shed (mostly the face ones). They don't shed to the point that you can't use them, but the littlest shedding annoys me, especially since MAC brushes are so pricey! That's why I'm so happy that I didn't experience one bit of shedding with the Mikasa brushes! I also love how soft the bristles are! I find all the brushes pick up the product properly! They do a good job at blending and applying the products! I also find them easy to wash! Like, I have no complaints about these brushes! They get the job done! 

All 8 brushes!

I'll be breaking down each brush now! 


F100 Powder Brush: I'm in love with this powder brush! It's a fluffy brush made out of natural hair! You can use it to apply any powder products! I mostly use it to apply setting powder and bronzer! It's extremely soft! It's definitely one of my favorite brushes in this set!

F100

F111 Blush Brush: Even though it's a blush brush, it's very versatile! It's a medium sized brush made out of natural hair. I really like the way that this brush is shaped! It makes it easy to apply blush or even to just blend out any face products. It's not as fluffy as the Powder Brush, it feels a bit dense on the top.

F111

F200 Duo Fibre Finishing Brush: Like the name says, it's a medium sized duo fibre brush. It's not dense or fluffy, it's really in between. With that being said, this brush can be used for powder, cream or liquid foundation. In my personal opinion, I prefer a dense duo fibre brush to apply foundation, so this isn't my ideal brush for foundation. However, it does get the work done! It just requires more blending! 

F200

E100 Angled Liner Brush: I like the way that this brush is cut! It makes applying gel liner so easy! It's also really easy to create a wing with this brush! It's not too thin or too big. It's very precise! I also use it to apply my brow products. It gets the job done perfectly! This is another one of my favorite brushes in this set! 

E100

E220 Concealer Brush: This is definitely not your typical concealer brush! It's a lot smaller and it's more dense. I'll be honest, this brush isn't my cup of tea. I use it to apply my concealer, but I need to blend it out with another brush. The tip is very precise, it's good for those hard to reach areas.I always miss a spot near my nose and I find this brush fits in there perfectly! It's also a good brush to apply cream eyeshadows! Like, I do get use out of this brush, just there are better concealer brushes out there.

E220

E230 Eye Shader Brush: This is a nice flat goat hair brush. It's great to pack on eyeshadow onto your lid. I also use it to define my crease, since it has a nice round shape to it. It's a very versatile eye brush! Again, this brush is cut really nicely, so it gets the job done perfectly!

E230

E300 Blending Brush: This is a natural hair blending brush. It's a little bit dense, which is good and bad. The good thing is that, it's good to deepen the crease. The bad thing is that, it requires you to blend a lot longer. You don't get that soft blended look with this brush, which is why I'm not crazy about it. However, I don't think it's a horrible brush, because you can definitely work with it! It's actually the perfect shape and size! 

E300

E310 Pencil Brush: This is a small precise brush. It's made out of goat hair. This is the perfect brush to deepen up your eyeshadow. Like, I use it a lot to deepen up my crease! It's small, which is why it fits perfectly into my crease! It also blends the eyeshadow really nicely! I also really like the way that this brush is cut! It has a nice tip, so that you can be really precise with your eyeshadow! I also use it to blend eyeshadow on the lower lash line! This Pencil Brush is super handy and it's also one of my favorite brushes in this set! 

E310

Overall, I love these brushes! There's a few that I'm on the fence about, but this set is a great deal! So, look into Mikasa Beauty! They also sell a bunch of other stuff! The code "MUBYDIVYA15" applies to everything on their website! I know that they came out with their new "Techni" brushes, which are the oval brushes that everyone has been using lately! They even have brush set deals on those! So ya, I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post! I love discovering new beauty brands! I actually have another new brand that hopefully I can post about this month, if not you'll definitely see the review early December! Has anyone else tried Mikasa Beauty? What are your thoughts on these brushes?
