Generally speaking, animal hair is the best material for makeup brush bristles. To be handy to make the makeup beautiful, maybe you only have a set of good tools. Make-up brushes have gone from the hands of professional stylist to the side of beauty-conscious women. According to the makeup artist, mink hair is the best bristles, soft and moderate in texture. Goat wool is the most common material of animal hair, soft and durable. The texture of pony hair is softer and more elastic than ordinary horse hair. Artificial wool is harder than animal hair and is suitable for thick, creamy makeup. Nylon has the hardest texture and is mostly used as eyelash brush and eyebrow brush.
