Quo just came out with a new line of Profesional brushes (they still have their regular line with the silver handles too)
They have longer handles, are black and I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about these. I was thinking of investing in a few..they are more pricey than their normal ones (think mac brush prices). I don't know anything about them because the shoppers drugmart doesn't have these on their website yet.
Does anyone know if they are natural fibers or have tried them or can compare them to MAC brushes?? Any info would be a great help. TIA

^ Oh cool I hadn't heard of that! I just googled it now and found a blog post about it, seems interesting...don't know if it's worth it though. At those prices I think I might just go for MAC.

^Hmmmm i don't think i saw those at SDM last week! I will kep an eye out for them! They have been doing this 40% off Quo brush sale for the last month or so every week! I still think they make great brushes but is it me or did the prices go up? Maybe its because i haven't checked them out in awhile? I bought the cream eyeshadow brush last year and its such a great brush! I'm also loving my angled eyeshadow brush, its very soft yet firm enought to get in the crease!

Post is obviously older....but I think I have this one. It was limited edition and around the same price. I got mine on sale for $22....it has a wood handle, golden colour and the bristles are white.
Its AMAZING....I love it so much. I usually used it with my Smashbox Halo powder foundation but recently switched it to a blush brush. It really evens out your skintone and is super soft.
Anyways, I love Quo brushes as a starter set and I also agree that some of them are scratchy [eyeshadow ones]. My fave that I use everyday is the pencil brush....I have the flat foundation brush but I think its too streaky to use for a full application. I use it to "spot" my make up on and then use a duo fibre brush like the MAC 187 to finish the job.
I haven't used the Quo version of the 187 but I DO know that its synthetic fibres are longer and the brush fibres feel less stiff than the 187....almost like its less packed. Its softer too....too soft....if thats really applicable haha. I think its also marketed as a bronzer brush.
I definately prefer their eyeshadow brushes to the rest of their collection. And if you need a cheaper angled brush for eyeliner or brows, theirs is awesome.
We have the new line out as well - the black handled ones. They're considered higher end and are made with different bristles/fibers. But again, like someone mentioned, if you want to invest in more expensive brushes, go with prestige brands like Smashbox, MUFE, or MAC.
The only real big difference is the look of the newer QUO.
Edit: So I called everywhere and literally almost NO ONE knew the difference between the two, then finally I got an answer. The old grey handled quo are all completely synthetic fiber brushes with the exception of the eyeshadow brushes that are made of squirrel hair.
The Professional QUO are made of pony and goat hair and are marketed as all natural, however, some brushes, like the foundation brush, "require" some synthetic blended in to keep its shape and higher density. If you compare the two foundation brushes, the new PRO Quo is thicker.
Hope that all helps

the new Quo brushes are SO SEXY. they have a black handle and the metal part is dark grey , gunmetal type of color. they are kinda pricey though , i got a new foundation brush (40% off , of course) , it's $40 but i got it at 23.99. really seems like a promising brush, there's a also a powder , kinda kabuki looking brush with a long handle, i don't need but i think i'll get it too =D

I personally love QUO brushes. I have a tonne of M.A.C brushes as well but I am always on the lookout for something different, since I dont think that MAC is the only line on the face of this planet to have quality products. I always get the impression that not enough people give credit to less known brands and tend to compare everything to MAC quality, don't get me wrong I love MAC as much as the next person, but with all the other stuff available on the market now I love to experiment. Plus there are many great products for half the price. I buy all different brands of brushes anywhere from traditional artists painting brushes or Sonia Kashuk (which are some of my faves btw) to Bobbi Brown and MAC. There is always going to be something good and/or bad about every line of cosmetics. Even some of my MAC brushes shed or I don't enjoy using them as much. I bought about 9 of the QUO brushes when they were on sale, with my optimum points, and to be honest I think that their are a few I prefer to MAC and a few I dont. There are many great competitors out there these days and its always good to keep an open mind
