How to choose a makeup brush?

Although everyone has different daily makeup needs, as long as they are used to using makeup brushes, there are six essentials: powder brush, concealer brush, blush brush, eye shadow brush, eyebrow brush and lip brush. In addition, you need to be more professional. There will be more fine divisions in the eyeshadow brush. The sharp top and the oblique mouth, the flat mouth or the arc shape are not only for different parts and thickness effects, but also determined by the feel of each person.

Makeup brushes are just like cosmetics. They are available at any price. So what determines the value of a makeup brush? The biggest factor is the material of its bristles. The bristles of professional makeup brushes are generally divided into animal hair and synthetic hair. Because natural animal hair retains complete hair scales, it is soft and saturated with powder, which can make the color uniform and does not irritate the skin. Of course, it has become the best material for makeup brush bristles.

Synthetic hair is hard to the touch, and it is not easy to evenly brush the color. But its advantages are that it has a certain degree of toughness, durability and easy cleaning. Therefore, when certain makeup brushes require a certain hardness to achieve better makeup results (such as concealer brushes, lip brushes or eyebrow brushes), they will be made of natural hair and artificial hair. Mix and match. Speaking of which, I have to tell you how to choose the best cost-effective makeup brushes.

First of all, the bristles should feel soft and smooth, and have a firm and full structure. Hold the bristles with your fingers and comb down gently to check whether the bristles are easy to fall off. Then lightly press the makeup brushes on the back of your hand and draw a semicircle to check whether the bristles are cut neatly. Finally, if you have the conditions, you can use hot air to blow the bristles to determine whether it matches your ideal material or the store’s propaganda: animal hair is kept intact, and man-made fiber is curly hair.
