“I have been using Rosemary and Co brushes since 2012 and find them to be the best handmade brushes available. I am excited to present my new collection which is 100% vegan-friendly! I carefully selected these brushes for my two sets. They have varied edge handling and wonderful shape retention allowing me to focus on the creative process. My Professional Set expands the Essential set by adding my favorite specialized brushes. This luxurious set is a comprehensive selection of brushes that offer remarkable control, detail and nuance to inspire creativity."—Nanette Fluhr
