Sephora Collection Pro Brushes: Your Ultimate Guide to All 30 Vegan Brushes!

[TeamBIC]

I think we can all agree that Sephora Collection PRO Brushes are amazing tools that allow us to essentially become our own makeup artists, plus they provide great quality at an amazing value! We know there are so many different brushes out there that it can be overwhelming when it comes to selecting the ones you really need. That is why Sephora Collection has not only improved upon their PRO brushes, but also refined their assortment to 30 brushes total: 5 foundation, 14 face (blush, highlight, etc.), and 11 eye brushes.

This assortment is made up of Sephora Collection’s best-selling brushes, now with improved brush head shapes while still keeping the chic, streamlined look, great quality, and value. And yes, all brushes are vegan (!)and the new packaging is color coded based on category (foundation, face, and eyes).

We started a glossary to break down what each new brush is and what it is meant to be used for -- and just in case you still need a little help deciding which brushes you really *NEED* need, look out for the ones we starred** for our absolute must-haves!

Thanks, @TeamBIC !  This is a very helpful Thread to introduce us to the uses of the new Sephora Pro Brushes!   There will be additional discussion about some of the brushes over in the Gratis Thread.

[Lazybeautybeast]

Thank you @TeamBIC for sending some of these new brushes to me to test! These arrived yesterday and I'm so excited! 😍 I got a Pro collection set in 2016 or 2017 and use them all the time but they still look brand new! They are some of the best quality brushes I've used. I'm looking forward testing the new one's out to see how they compare! Here is a sneak peak. I'll post more pictures once I have better lighting and have a chance to test them out!

[fatimamummy]

These are really cute sets @Lazybeautybeast congratulations to all who received them for testing. Looking forward to know what you think of them.

[AlexBT]

@Lazybeautybeast Yay! Thanks for sharing the sneak peek. Can't wait to check back here and hear what you think of them!

[greeneyedgirl107]

Wow!  What great gratis @Lazybeautybeast !  Many congrats!

[faeriegirl]

Congratulations @Lazybeautybeast!

[blackkitty2014]

Yay congratulations @Lazybeautybeast. 

[Kim888]

Congrats @Lazybeautybeast !!! Can’t wait for your thoughts !!!

[tsavorite]

Congratulations, @Lazybeautybeast !

[CookieGirl1]

Congrats on receiving the new brushes, @Lazybeautybeast! There's something so satisfying about brand new clean brushes 🙂 

[Ispend2much6]

@TeamBIC   The Pro Powder Brush 50 really caught my eye!  I love soft, fluffy powder brushes, and this one looks like it will fit the bill.

I would like to make a suggestion that I, and maybe others, would find helpful.  There are a lot of factors to consider when purchasing a brush, but very rarely do I see any company list the width, depth, and length of the brush heads.  For me, this is particularly important when deciding on blush, contour, crease, and highlighter brushes in particular.  It would be great to be able to have that info available, if at all possible.  Thanks for opening up this thread!

[AlexBT]

@Ispend2much6 Great feedback! I agree; sometimes I assume a brush size based on a photo online and then am totally surprised when it comes in the mail and is totally not going to work for what I needed!

[mrsmouse]

I am very excited about these brushes and REALLY appreciate this detailed guide @TeamBIC(I bookmarked this page already)!  I have been super happy with the individual Sephora brushes that I have purchased in the past, so am intrigued to see how they may have been improved upon.  Also, total bonus that these are being released before the Spring sale!  Woot Woot!

[eshoe]

Thank you for the detailed info on the new brushes, @TeamBIC! The 56.6 Rouge brush is a staple for me, although I haven’t explored too many other PRO brushes yet. Most brushes I use have natural hair, so I’m curious how these will compare in terms of softness🤔

[Kim888]

@TeamBIC these all look so great! The foundation buffing brush in particular looks really interesting to me! I also like the look of the lip brush a lot as I feel like it can be hard to find a good one! 

[ShortErica]

Thanks so much for all the details @TeamBIC! I also really appreciate that you included the ways to use them, like small strokes downward, etc.

[blackkitty2014]

@TeamBIC Wow lots of new brushes. I’d like to see 87 (highlighter fan brush. I wonder if it is a newer and improved version of 62. I don’t own a lots of Sephora brushes but I have 2 of 62. (I don’t believe in backups but I have backups of all my favorite brushes 😂🤣) I recommend that one 😘 Get it while it’s on sale. I want to see 50 as well. I have that one on my love list to try. Every time the old 50 comes back in stock my fat fingers are too slow to place an order 😂🤣

[GG84]

@TeamBIC 

I wish these came in a master set. I LOVE Sephora Pro brushes, the ones I have are going strong years later. 

[sprocketta]

There 70 buffing brush is calling my name. I almost never wear foundation, but that would be perfect for my full-coverage IT cosmetics cc cream.

[suzyo]

That bronzer #80 brush looks good, kinda like the Marc Jacobs Bronzer brush. I'd love to see them side by side.

[michelleshops]

These look great!  The black handles and ferrules are quite chic.  I love the old 64 so I'm excited to see how this one compares! I'm also excited for 14 and 19 which looks like a great pointed crease brush and of course, 50.  Who doesn't love a giant fluffy brush to play with? Thanks for sharing all the information @TeamBIC !
