First is the E35 tapered blending brush. This a lovely blending brush. The handle is nice shiny black,as I like it, and it's perfect length if you ask me ( around 12 cm). Also it isn't too thick nor too thin.
The bristles are very soft and not scratchy at all. In some reviews some people say they would want them softer but for me they are good as they are although,yeah, they could be softer. While washing and using it i didn't notice any shading or bleeding.
I find myself using it for blending and eyeshadow application. It works great in both cases although some might prefer brushes with shorter and more stiff bristles for blending.It's quite fluffy and round shaped on the top.
This brush might be a bit too big for people with small eyelid area.
The second is the E45 small tapered blending brush. Let me first say that it was hard to find it in stock when I wanted to buy it, I guess a lot people buy it but I finally did as you can see :). Now, the handle is pretty much the same as the previous brush,it's just a tiny bit longer than E35.
The bristles are dense and firm yet soft. They are shorter than E35 and pointy. What I notice is that after washing it couple times it became slightly fluffier than it was at the beginning. I mainly use it to apply color in crease and outer v area but I also use it to blend the crease eyeshadow and it works great.
Overall I love both of them. Though I know they aren't the cheapest brushes you can find, mostly because the international shipping cost is a bit pricey. The shipping cost is cheaper when you buy set of brushes than when you buy individual brushes.
I must say that I find they being great quality and they work great for me.
