Eye shadow brush material recommendation

1. Mink hair: Mink hair can be said to be the most suitable bristle material for eye shadow application. It is soft and washable, and is very suitable for delicate eye skin. If you must pick the shortcoming, the price of mink hair is the most expensive.

2. Pony hair: Horse hair is slightly eye-catching and harder than goat hair. It is the most common eye shadow brush bristle. But horse hair can also be divided into ordinary and high-grade; there are long hair and short hair; there are natural and washed. Washed horse hair is soft and fine, softer than wool.

3. Goat hair: Goat hair is the most common bristle used in all cosmetic brushes. It is soft and durable, and the price is moderate. However, goat hair itself is also divided into high, medium and low grades. The difference lies in the softness and flexibility. You can choose according to your needs.

4. Artificial hair: It is divided into two categories: corrugated hair and straight silk. Straight silk has good gatherability and is mainly used for foundation brushes and eye brushes.
