Purchased a few years ago at the Tokyu Department Store in Sapporo. Both have only been used 2-3 times. They have been washed with brush cleaner afterwards. Some of the lettering for Hakuhodo and the number starting with F are partially faded. As expected of Hakuhodo, the brushes feel great on the skin, and I loved them. However, I have a young child, so I don't have much time for makeup, and I've decided to sell them. Would these be suitable for everyday makeup, makeup school lessons, or work? I have inspected them carefully, but as I am not a professional, I may have missed something. Please understand that these are used items before purchasing.
