Brush Hair Material

Brush hair material includes natural bristles from mink, squirrel, horse hair, wool and high-quality synthetic fibers.

 

Natural bristles

Natural bristles are very soft and can be used to create a natural look. This type of brush will hold your paint for long amounts of time and will create a paint job that is very concise and smooth looking.


 

Synthetic fibers

Synthetic fibers (generally made from nylon) mean easy maintenance, but the brush hairs are not as soft or flexible. These brushes will do the job but lack the refined touch of natural hair. The advantage is the price; with synthetic brushes generally costing a lot less. These brushes are also more durable, as synthetic hair brushes are easier to wash and have a longer life-span.


 

Mixed hair

Mixed hair style brushes are a combination of natural and synthetic brush hairs. By combining the fibers you’re able to create a brush softer and more pliable than a purely synthetic brush, but for a lower price than a purely natural one.


 
Specific Brushes

Each kind of brush has different advantages and disadvantages depending on your intended use. It’s a good idea to include various types of brushes in your makeup kit, giving you a variety of tools at your disposal. Let’s have a look at what these different brushes are made of.


- Foundation brushes are usually made of a high quality synthetic fiber. A top grade set would use natural bristles.

- Powder brushes are made from natural squirrel and pony hair.

- Brow brushes and eye shadow brushes are generally made of wool or horse hair. High-quality synthetic fibers, or a combination of mixed synthetic and natural hair are also used.

The quality of the brushes will have quite an impact on the ease and effect of application, so be sure to choose the right ones! Shop now>>
