Generally speaking, the price of cosmetic brushes is determined according to the hair of the cosmetic brush. There are many kinds of hair quality of cosmetic brushes, and different hair quality has obvious differences in makeup effects.
Generally, most of the cheap makeup brushes are made of man-made fiber bristles, and the bristles are rough, which will affect the makeup effect and hurt the facial skin.
Expensive makeup brushes are generally made of natural animal hair. The bristles are moderately soft and comfortable on the face, and the bristles have a certain degree of support.
But there is no absolute difference between natural bristles and artificial bristles, it mainly depends on the purpose of the makeup brush. Today, I will give you a review of makeup brushes from the material of makeup brushes.
makeup brush material
A makeup brush is composed of three parts: the brush head, the brush ferrule and the brush handle. The materials of these three parts determine the makeup effect and the texture when used. The difference between the expensive makeup brush and the cheap one is mainly in the material.
1. Brush head material
The bristles of makeup brushes are mainly divided into two categories: animal hair and artificial hair, each with its own grade and quality, and you need to choose according to your needs.
In terms of price: mink hair > squirrel hair > pony hair > goat hair > fiber synthetic hair
Generally, animal hair brush heads are more expensive than artificial hair brush heads. For example, mink hair makeup brushes are the most expensive and the best brushes, but animal hair materials are not very friendly to sensitive skin, easy to breed bacteria, and have animal hair. Odor, more likely to cause damage to sensitive skin.
The artificial hair brush is more suitable for people with sensitive skin and has no peculiar smell.
Animal hair
Animal hair generally includes mink hair, squirrel hair, pony hair, goat hair, etc.;

Suitable for liquid or paste products, such as: foundation brush, eyeliner brush, lip brush, etc.
2.Brush ferrule
First check the thickness of the brush ferrule. The quality of the thickened brush ferrule is relatively high-quality. If the material is thinner, the quality and safety are not very good;
The brush ferrule of the cosmetic brush, that is, the mouth ferrule, is generally made of copper or aluminum ferrules;
Among them: copper ferrule>aluminum ferrule; thicker brush ferrule>thin brush ferrule.
3. Brush handle
