Twelve brushes — a complete face, from foundation to lips. BASIC START by CTR GROUP: the set professionals begin with.
Description:
BASIC START by CTR GROUP is a full starter arsenal for a makeup artist. Twelve brushes cover the entire routine: powder and blush, sculpting and correction, eyeshadow applied wet or dry, precise liner and crease work, brows and lips. The set brings together the brand's finest materials — soft arctic fox, densely packed raccoon, resilient sable, marten, elite soft goat, and springy synthetic: every brush is built from the fiber that performs best for its job. All handles are seasoned wood — they don't dry out, sit precisely in the hand, and last for years. Bristles are hand-assembled, never scratchy, don't shed, and use product economically. The ideal choice for starting out, expanding a kit, or anyone who wants one set for everything.

How to use:
Load a small amount of product, tap off the excess, and blend with smooth motions.
Face brushes (W0700, W0646, W0184) — light circular or sweeping motions, blending toward the temples and hairline.
Correction brushes (W0710, W0712) — apply directly to the area, then blend the edges.
Eye brushes (W0174, W0176, W0510, W0598, W0196) — shadow onto the lid, then blend the edges; use the narrow brushes for the crease, outer corner, and lash line.
W0516 — comb through the brow, then draw the contour with the thin edge.
W0186 — outline with the edge of the brush, then fill and blend.
Care:
Natural hair needs gentle handling. Clean with a dedicated brush cleanser or mild shampoo; never soak, and keep water out of the ferrule. Squeeze out excess moisture, reshape the bristles, and dry flat in open air. Never use a hairdryer or dry near a heat source.
Safety:
Do not use on damaged skin or if sensitive to natural or synthetic bristles. Do not store brushes wet; avoid water contact with the handle and ferrule. Keep in a dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. External use only. Keep out of reach of children.
