Get The Most Outta Yer Minerals
I was going to include these in our feature on new makeup brushes but they are a nice set on their own and are especially made for mineral makeup! SEPHORA’s new Mineral Brush Set ($50 @ you know where) is four must have brushes that make applying your mineral makeup easy. Inside the two-pocketed quilted zippered pouch is an all-over powder complexion brush (made of goat hair) for foundation and setting powder, a smaller buffer brush (also goat hari), a concealer brush (make of Taklon), and a multi-purpose eye shadow brush (made of pony hair). Also included is a tip sheet so you can get the most out of your brushes and your mineral makeup. It may seem a little pricey but add up the cost of the individual brushes and this one is on mark.
I didn't know I needed to use specific brushes for mineral makeup. Is there specific ones I need to use one of these types of brushes for? like eye shadow? Thanks!

In my experience, I really like to use a specific brush for my mineral foundation only. The mineral eye shadows and blushes, you don't really need to get specific ones for. This set is good for someone just starting their collection of brushes or need ones for travel. HTH!

isn't this a marketing ploy? I mean regular brushes are just fine to use for mineral makeup. I just went and read about them on their site and there's nothing unique about them! unbelievable.

Hi Cybelesays - can you tell me how long the handles are on these brushes or the dimensions of the zip case? I didn't see any on their site. Thanks!
