Professional Makeup Brushes
BMW Or VW?

Hello?. Who wouldn't want the superior luxury quality of professional makeup brushes?  

The question is do we really need the best grade level of brushes (presumably)   to apply our makeup?  Its kind of like saying we need a BMW to run our errands around town in, when a Volkswagen is more than capable to perform our tasks (both are high precision German engineering).  

Now, if you are a car buff without budget constraints, of coarse, the thrill factor warrants re-thinking this question...and for some of you makeup mavens the VIP thrill factor would be worth it.  For a larger number of you, however, quality, performance and value is the mix of variables that come into play when choosing anything, including makeup brushes.


So what is the quality difference between 'professional' grade brushes and those described as 'good quality' manufactured for the wider market place?

Professional grade brushes are made with the highest quality materials;

  • bristles made from the quality animal hair; sable, pony, goat etc for very soft silky texture or high grade synthetic materials (more ideal for some wet applications) that feel very soft

  • handles of durable hard wood

  • glued, metal wrapped, and placed to ensure minimal hair loss

With those higher quality materials, comes a higher price point.

When makeup art is your profession, and your work is photographed at very close range and presented at high resolution via media like fashion magazines etc., it is imperative your detail and blending is impeccable.

With this in mind, paying higher price points for the highest grades of materials makes sense, since they will deliver the highest quality performance.


Sephora offers "professional" makeup brushes at good price points.  I might take the term "professional" with a grain of salt when it comes to their inferred degree of quality, but they do perform well and have a great design range.
