I’m a sucker for a brush set, especially a good one. Rae Morris is a professional makeup artist that has published several makeup books. I own a couple of her books and found them extremely helpful for a makeup newbie. I knew from the quality and content of her books and her work as an artist that she wouldn’t release a bad set of brushes. I initially heard about the brushes from one of my favorite YouTube vlogger – Wayne Goss. I trust his opinion and decided to try them out. This set is in fact a very nice set. Good quality brushes are essential for great makeup application and is an investment. A quality brush will last years. It makes a huge difference in how your makeup performs. If you’re considering an upgrade to your personal collection, include this set on your research list.
- The bristles are extremely soft and taper nicely. Not a prickly brush in the bunch.
- The handles are short; almost the length of travel brushes.
- The ferrules are magnetized. I’m not sure how I feel about this. At first I thought it was a neat idea, but it can be annoying when I’m washing them and the brushes stick together.
- The set costs $199. That is very big number, but when you consider that you’re getting ten brushes (including a dual ended brush). $20 per brush isn’t bad when you consider the average high-end brush costs $25-30 each; $40 for a face powder brush.
- I’ve only experienced one shed hair in each of the face brushes and I’ve used them many times and washed them after each use.
- Rae Morris offers a 27-piece set for $699. (If you see that set discussed on this blog, I’ve either won the lottery or it was given to me for free.)

Hello Eyeshadowjunkie,
I loved your review on the Rea Morris brush set. However when I clicked on the link to view/purchase the link was not working. Actually it said the site was down for maintenance. Could you please re-post the full site address where you purchased your set?
Thank you,
Jessica-
Sorry for the inconvenience Jessica, but that is the site I purchased the brushes from. Hopefully, the site will be up soon. You can purchase via Rae Morris’ site directly but it’s in Australian dollars.
