Swizz re: Sephora concealer brush

[dexteroni]

You recommended a Sephora concealer brush in this post. It's time to replace my concealer brush and I wanted to try your rec, but they don't seem to carry it anymore. And it doesn't even show a photo so I can't compare it to what they have now. If you have a minute, would you mind taking a look at their concealer brushes (link for your convenience!) and see if they still have it under another name, or if there's a similar one? Thanks!

Was it one of their "professional" line? I've read that they're d/c that particular line if that's the case.

[dexteroni]

Wait! I might have found it. I was able to see the full link by quoting Swizz's comment in the linked post and it said "Pro Airbrush" in the URL. Was this it?

That's strange that they discontinued that line because I liked it better than most of their other brushes.

Seconded.

[dexteroni]

OK cool, that's the one I'm going to try. Thanks everyone!

A lurker here, just went to Sephora yesterday and their airbrush line was on sale, got the concealer brush for $8! Great buy.

[dexteroni]

Oh cool, I think I'll stop in tomorrow and see. It's not on sale online - do store sales not correspond to online sales?

[adlove]

Oh man, I didn't realize they discontinued the line. Does anyone know if the replacement line is actually the same? I have almost all of the brushes in the old range and they are amazing!!

Not always. They were on sale in my store too - though non of the concealer, but they had some of the other professional brushes (mostly liner, eyeshadow, the very big powder foundation brush).

[dexteroni]

I bought it today but it wasn't on sale. None of the Pro Artisan brushes were. They said that line is their best selling brush line so I'm thinking they didn't discontinue anything but maybe just reworked it a bit.

[adlove]

Yea I heard it's basically the same with different color handles.

Were they silver handles? They do have the pro line, but its black now I guess, not the silver handles. Not sure if its the same quality (no idea). Also, I forgot to mention, the sale ones were separate from the normal brushes. Ours is the very small sale area (in a tiny corner of the sephora).

[dexteroni]

OK, I used my new brush this morning, and while I mostly liked it....it's kind of big. I had a hard time getting the inside corners of my eyes without getting concealer all over the side of my nose. Anyone else have this problem? What's the solution? I really like how smoothly and thoroughly it applies concealer; I would just like to be able to use it everywhere.

No, black handle. I don't know if there's a dedicated sale area in my store; I've never noticed one. I'll have to look!

Its not easy to find usually, its a tiny corner (for us, at the end of a aisle). Its been pretty consistently there for us recently, but they still change up it up. Usually its not great stuff to be honest, but the brushes were a nice surprise. They also had the really nice cuticle pushers and such on sale.

Pat pat the brush quickly and lightly so it usually goes where I want. I also need 1/2 the amount of concealer I normally do with other brushes or my fingers.

It seemed to big at first to me too, but I agree, use less, and the big size actually helps it be more diffused looking, I feel. I tried getting a smaller brush (same line), but I went back to the big one.

[dexteroni]

Yeah I'm going to use it for a few weeks or so to see if I can make it work for me. I really do like the effect in the parts where I can use it, which is underneath my eyes. It's just the inner corners. I would rather not have to use two brushes for concealer each day though, so if this one doesn't work out I'll have to try to find something smaller.
