How to choose a makeup brush?

You must have also discovered that makeup brushes are like cosmetics, available at any price, so what determines the price of makeup brushes? The biggest factor is the material of its bristles. The bristles of professional makeup brushes are generally divided into two types: animal hair and synthetic hair. Because natural animal hair retains complete scales, the hair is soft and saturated with powder, which can make the color even and docile, 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 brush the color evenly. But its advantage is that it has a certain degree of toughness, durability and easy cleaning, so when some brushes need a certain degree of hardness to achieve a better makeup effect (such as concealer brushes, lip brushes or eyebrow brushes), natural hair and artificial hair will be used. mix and match. Having said that, I will tell you how to choose the brush with the best cost performance. First of all, the bristles should feel soft and smooth, with a firm and full structure. Hold the bristles with your fingers and comb down gently to check if the bristles are easy to fall off. Press the brush lightly on the back of your hand and draw a semicircle to check whether the bristles are cut neatly. Finally, if possible, you can use hot air to blow the bristles to judge whether it matches your ideal material or the store’s promotion: animal hair that remains in its original state, and man-made fibers when the hair becomes curled.
