This set includes 13 brushes: 5 for the face and 8 for the eyes. They have lacquered wooden handles and synthetic, yet soft, fine, dense bristles that are perfectly fixed and don't shed, remaining intact even after multiple washes. The color, a very appealing greenish-gray, was particularly attractive. Being a complete set, it's ideal for travel. Delivery to Italy took approximately 3 weeks with registered shipping. Each brush arrived individually packed, and the larger ones have a protective net to keep the bristles compact.
