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. Take care of your brushes! Professional
brushes or not,
regular gentle cleaning will keep your brushes performing, and you skin
clear.
