I purchased these items and stored them without ever using them. The Esprique brush is a foundation brush. It can be used for both powder and liquid foundations. The Kiss Me New York brush is a 3-way brush. It's excellent for foundation, blush, and eyeshadow. Both come with cases. The Kiss Me New York case has a slight brown discoloration on the bottom part, likely from the brush's color. Please understand this before purchasing. If you are interested, please consider. *No returns accepted.*
