For Double-Duty Luxury
At $285, this makeup brush set will cost you quite the pretty penny. You know what, though? Since each brush is double-sided, it's like you're getting 10 brushes instead of a mere five. So, while this makeup brush set might be a bit cost prohibitive, it becomes a little more manageable when you consider the fact that you'll have an array of complexion and eye brushes, as well as an absolutely gorgeous leather case to tote them in style.
