A makeup brush is normally formed with three parts: the bristle, the ferrule (metal function) and the handle.

 1. Hair Textile

The bristles are the action finish of a brush. The "toe" is at the top and the "heel" is the stop of the beard that are secured into the ferrule. The length, softness, shape and amount of hairs in the brush are dictated past what makeup awarding and products the brush has been designed for.

2. Ferrule Fabric

 Ferrule unremarkably made of metal (e.grand. nickel-plated brass; aluminium) . The bristles are held in identify by the top of the ferrule, which is sometimes pinched flat, and a good dollop of glue. The bottom of the ferrule is glued to the handle also, so don't leave your brushes in water or permit the ferrule get water in it.The ferrule cloth has aluminum, copper fabric.

Aluminum ferrule:surface can be anodized to a variety of colors such every bit silver, black, red, blue, greenish, etc; MOQ is 3k per manner.

Brass ferrulenormally can exist plated into limited colors,and the cost is higher. MOQ is 2k per style.

Aluminum ferrule VS copper ferrule:

The hardness is 10 times of aluminum ferrule. Copper ferrule is thicker/brighter/durable than aluminum ferrule.

3. Handle material:

Handles are fabricated from wood (coated in either varnish or paint), resin or plastic. Some handles are fabricated from recycled or sustainable materials. The handle is where any brand logo and other information about the brush (like it'southward purpose or size) is printed.

Plastic and acrylic handlesdemand molds, so information technology is not proper for pocket-size quantity, equally the molding cost is high, and needs to spare the cost to each brush, if the gild quantity is less, it is not cost-effective.

Acrylic handles is expensive than plastic handles due to the higher cost and difficult engineering.Simply it can produce various shapes/designs.

Makeup brush- all natural wooden handle

Wooden handle: the well-nigh mutual wooden handle is birch, the MAC and Sigma brushes are all with birch handles.

Bamboo handle: too very common and cost-constructive, the most famous brands are BB and EDM.

aluminum handle

Metallic handle: normally can be aluminum handle and copper handles; both can be freely printed logo

4. Beard and What They Are Made Of

The bristles of a makeup brush can exist fabricated from animal hair or synthetic hair (or a mix of the ii). Here is a wait at both types of material.

Animal Pilus

  • What is animal hair? Animal pilus (sometimes referred to as "natural") comes from animals, including goats, badgers, squirrels, weasels ("sable") and horses ("pony"). Camel pilus brushes are not actually made from camel hair, but a combination of several types of animal hair (including horse, goat and squirrel), depending on the desired softness and cost.
  • Why is creature hair used? Simply because it has been traditionally used in brushes for a long time and there was no other suitable material until synthetics came along. The pilus has a cuticle, a layered outer coating on the hair shaft, which picks up and distributes powder products well. The cuticle also means that brute hair is not and so good for cream, gel or liquid products, as information technology picks upward too much product and can lead to clogging, blobs or streaking.
  • Each type of pilus comes with its own unique strengths and advantages. For case: sable hair is soft, flexible and goes to a fine point, which is expert for precision work; badger pilus is stiff and is used in brushes that work to define and shape, like brow brushes; squirrel and goat hair is very soft.
  • How is the hair made? A commonly asked question and the answer is uncomplicated: the hair is not given willingly – it is obtained from animals by hunting, farming and slaughter. Animal welfare standards are generally very poor. It is not pretty business.

Synthetic Hair

  • What is constructed pilus?  Synthetic bristles are made from 100% manufactured fibres, similar nylon and polyester.
  • Why is synthetic pilus used? Synthetic beard do not have a cuticle, so are very smooth and trap less production in the beard than animal hair brushes – this makes them great for creams, gels and liquids. Pulverization tin can also be applied with synthetics designed specifically for this purpose, east.g. Taklon and Natrafil were created specifically to mimic the different properties of creature pilus, making them good substitutes for using with pulverisation cosmetics.
  • How is the hair made?It is manufactured in factories. The hair can be dyed, ofttimes to mimic animal hair, similar cream or brownish.

Types of synthetic fibres used in makeup brushes:

  • Taklonis a soft, smooth polyester derivative, originally adult by DuPont to mimic the qualities of natural sable (flexible and soft with a good point). It is an incredibly versatile cloth and can be used in all types and sizes of makeup brushes.
  • Nylon has smoothen fibers and is used in makeup brushes that need a caste of firmness to the beard, like concealer, forehead and mascara brushes.
  • Natrafil® is another DuPont cosmos, initially designed to replace animal hair for use in pulverization brushes, where being able to selection up the production and release it evenly onto the skin is important. Natrafil® is a polyester-based composite and is made with a textured surface, allowing the hair to grab the powder. The commonly-held conventionalities that synthetics are no practiced for powder makeup is no longer so with these type of bristles.
