"a wide range of"

In most cases I've seen, this expression is only applied to describe a set/collection of objects or qualities of matter that are of SIMILAR quality or nature.

For example, "a wide range of shades of a certain colored product" or
"a wide range of concerns ranging from .....to..." and etc.

But can I use it to indicate a "high variety of things"?

Such as "Bloomingdale usually has a wide range of makeup counters"?

If not then what would be a better choice of word here??

THANKS IN ADVANCE:)

Such as "Bloomingdale usually has a wide range of makeup counters"? Yes, those seem like similar things, don't they? The mere plural ('makeup counters') indicates that they share a similarity.

  • I see none particularly, though you may use 'variety' or 'selection', for instance, if you choose.
