Review - Jemma Kidd brushes

Being thoroughly impressed with the Pro brush range by Jemma Kidd I thought it was time to show you guys which brushes I rate from the collection and what I have been using them for. As silly as that may seem sometimes I find alternative ways of using products and tools other than what they are intended for.

Below is the selection of brushes I have, they have all been tested and used for over two months so you can rest assured I gave these a fair trial.





'This innovative pointed foundation brush imitates a finger tip making it perfect for all over blending of foundation. Amazing softness achieved with a carefully selected blend of hair. Sweeps around facial 3-dimensions to create the right amount of pressure for the perfect foundation product payoff. Blends product effortlessly. Pointed synthetic head fits ideally around the orbital cavity of the eye and applies perfect pressure to help minimise imperfections.'
Originally I started using this just for creamy products but it works quite well with liquid foundation too, I mainly use it as a contouring brush.
 'Use this flat polishing brush with mineral make-up and setting powder. Flat hair bundle creates a polished effect when brush is swept in mini circular motions. Synthetic hair bundle allows artist to stipple and press product to the skin. Blends product effortlessly and ensures even application. Applies perfect pressure to help minimise imperfections.'
This is probably my most used brush, applies my highlighter and cream blush like a dream
 'Use for adding eye colour and for detailing certain areas. For example, highlighting the inner tear duct will widen the eye.'
I mainly use this to place colour on to large areas like the lid
 'Use this blurring brush to diffuse product across the eye lid and blur edges.'
This brush is like a MAC 217 and 224 it blends brilliantly!
 
 'Use this detail and depth brush underneath the eye and hard to reach corners and creases. By applying colour to the crease of the eye this will add depth.'
I love creating a smokey eye with this brush, it's a brilliant tool for depositing shadow on the lower lashline for the  'Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen' look.
 'Use this fine liner brush to create depth along the lash line. By applying a thin line along the root of the eyelashes it will give the appearance of more volume & open up the eye.'
Great alternative to the Benefit 'Get Bent Brush'
 'Use this sharp and define brush to line and fill your eyes, lips and brows.'
Great for creating straights lines
 'Use this detailing brush to highlight and detail small areas with precision.'
I use this as a lip brush as it gives amazing control .
My Opinion 

These brushes have been a part of my daily routine since I acquired them. I found they hardly shed at all and worked as well if not BETTER than my expensive M.A.C brushes. 
My Must Haves
This would me much easier if I just listed the one I wouldn't include as an essential which is the Medium Shader brush. The rest I must say are either muti - purpose or essentials for that smokey eye and defined line looks or creating gorgeous skin.
