Oval brushes are pretty popular right now. This is the second set that I purchased. My teenage daughter saw my set and wanted a set too. She was really excited about this  Ohuhu 10 piece set. I gave a couple of them a test drive before turning them over to her. I really like the handles on these brushes. They are flexible and really comfortable to hold. The handles are black shiny plastic, with the name of the company on the handle. The brushes themselves are really soft. You get 10 brushes and a instruction sheet on what each brush was for. You can use these brushes with liquid foundation, cream and powder. They blend really nicely. They are easy to clean with a mild soap, I like to use baby shampoo. I did not notice any problem with the bristles shedding. Very nice set, so much better price than at the cosmetic store. I received this item in exchange for my honest, unbiased review
