I bought a brush set off of ebay and it's "supposed" to be professional.
As a novice, I really do not know what each brush does and is used for, and it has alot of eyeshadow brushes, so any help is greatly appreciated!Thx!
Also, do some of thesebrushesresemble MAC brushes? Which brushes resemble which # in MAC?
thx for any help.
