Question
Do I need to buy each brush? Or is there a brush that is multi-purpose? I don't want to spend too much money on eleven different brushes.

The Pur-fect Makeup Brush Collection is a great value. Although our Chisel Brush is designed to provide maximum coverage, the Powder Brush in the collection can be used to apply the 4-in-1 Foundation with lighter coverage. The Utility Brush is designed for areas that need extra coverage plus it can be used to apply shadow in the crease of the eye. The Blush Brush can also be used to blend eye shadow after application. There are no set rules, use the brushes in the manner that works best for you.

Question
Are all purminerals brushes synthetic?
I see the the line does not test on animals - Just wanted to be sure that the brushes are not from any animal sources.
Thanks so much.

Our cruelty-free brushes are made from sable, goat, and pony hair. The only synthetic brushes are the Maximum Coverage Brush and Brow Brush.

Question
Brushes and cruelty-free claim
I understand that pur minerals line of brushes are cruelty-free and are made from sable, goat, and pony hair. I am wondering if you have any info on how the hairs are collected from the animals - I'm assuming that the cruelty-free claim means that the animals are not harmed or killed, can you please confirm.
Thanks so much!

Cruelty-free means that no animals are harmed or killed. We have statements on file from our suppliers verifying that the brushes are cruelty-free.

Wash the Chisel Brush once a week using either of our Mineral Washes or a mild non-conditioning shampoo. Oily skins may need to clean brushes more often. Fill a basin with lukewarm water and a little cleanser and swish the brush in the water. Rinse with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Pat with a towel to absorb extra moisture and lay flat on the towel to dry. To keep brushes fresh between regular cleanings, use Sweep It Off Brush Cleaner (http://www.purminerals.com/Sweep-It...).

After washing the brush, pat with a towel to remove moisture and then lay flat on the towel to air dry. You may need to reshape the brush's bristles and check that no bristles are sticking out once the brush is laid down.

The brushes in both collections are the same except for the handles. Also, the Lucite brush collection is in a brown case instead of a black case.

Question
Has this brush been replaced?
I purchased awhile back a short rather stubby brush to apply the mineral glow powders. I need a new one but don't see it on your site. Are they no longer available?

The difference is the handles..one is wood and the other is lucite. I have both...and in my opinion, the Purly Brilliant brush is much nicer. It seems to be a softer brush, but I really like the weight of it. Hope that helps!
