What materials are cosmetic brushes made of?

The materials of cosmetic brushes are mainly divided into two categories: artificial hair and natural animal hair.

Artificial hair:

Disadvantages: The smudge power is average, the bristles are relatively hard, and sometimes you may feel a prickly face.

Natural animal hair:

Advantages: It has complete hair scales, soft hair, saturated powder absorption, can make the color evenly fit the skin, and is non-irritating to the skin. This material is especially suitable for occasions that require delicate makeup, such as eye shadow smudge, blush brush, etc.

When choosing a makeup brush, in addition to considering the material, you also need to make a comprehensive decision based on your personal skin quality, makeup habits, and budget. For beginners, you can start with basic artificial hair makeup brushes, and then gradually add natural animal hair brushes as your makeup skills improve. At the same time, pay attention to regular cleaning and maintenance of makeup brushes to extend their service life and keep them hygienic.
