When it comes to makeup brushes, James Charles is a highly regarded name in the beauty industry. He has collaborated with several cosmetics brands to develop makeup tools that are very popular. For example, his eyeshadow palette collaboration with Morphe has been incredibly successful. Today, we will primarily focus on the perspective of makeup brush manufacturers and discuss whether James Charles’ makeup brush set is worth considering.
First, let’s introduce James Charles. He is one of the most influential YouTubers in the beauty field in recent years, with 23.9 million subscribers on YouTube and 21.5 million followers on Instagram. In addition, he has collaborated with some brands to launch his own makeup products. However, he has recently faced accusations of inappropriate behavior, leading to some boycotts and a decrease in his followers. Nevertheless, this does not diminish the fact that he is still one of the most successful YouTubers. In this article, we will set aside all other factors and solely examine whether James Charles brush set is worth purchasing.

This set of 13 eyeshadow brushes focuses on practicality. The type of bristles used depends on which type of bristle is more advantageous for makeup application. In addition to traditional synthetic bristles, natural bristles are also used, and some eyeshadow brushes clearly have an advantage with natural bristles compared to synthetic ones. For example, larger eyeshadow brushes are often made with horsehair. The reason for using horsehair is that the eyelid area lacks skeletal support, and it is not easy to apply eyeshadow evenly with soft synthetic bristles. Horsehair, being firmer and more resilient, is more suitable for applying eyeshadow in such areas.
The size 13 brush in this James Charles brush set can also be used as a lip brush. The bristle head is smaller, making it suitable for filling in areas where lipstick or lip gloss may have been missed. However, this brush is likely not coated, which can cause the bristles to splay and make application more difficult. It would be better if the bristles were coated.
In terms of functionality and configuration, I believe this brush set is problem-free and can be considered perfect. It includes all the brushes one would need, and even professional makeup artists would find it sufficient.
As for the price, everyone’s affordability differs, so I won’t delve into it too much here.
