For Basics That Go Above and Beyond
Sephora's in-house brand is one of its best-kept secrets. Don't let the siren call of the rest of the store's offerings sway you — their own line is actually pretty darn awesome, and it's wallet-friendly, to boot. Like the rest of the brand's products (particularly their underrated lipsticks), the Sephora Collection makeup brushes can play ball with the best of them. This makeup brush set covers all your bases with a well curated selection of brushes and a blinged-out case.

For Double-Duty Luxury
At $285, this makeup brush set will cost you quite the pretty penny. You know what, though? Since each brush is double-sided, it's like you're getting 10 brushes instead of a mere five. So, while this makeup brush set might be a bit cost prohibitive, it becomes a little more manageable when you consider the fact that you'll have an array of complexion and eye brushes, as well as an absolutely gorgeous leather case to tote them in style.

Their seasonal makeup brush sets might just be the best way to start your collection, as they often include a handful of the brand's best brushes, all bundled together in fabulous packaging at a pretty significant discount.
