Makeup Brushes

The world of decorative cosmetics is rich in a wide variety of tools with which you can create stunning looks every day. Each product requires a special application technique and its tool. The use of makeup brushes helps to cope with this task perfectly and prolongs the durability of the look.

Why you should use it

Professionals know that most cosmetics are sensitive to microflora changes. Negligence, such as finger application, promotes bacterial growth and premature spoilage, which is unacceptable. The use of special tools makes it possible to use cosmetics more correctly, safely and economically.

Reasons to buy different makeup brushes

Each formula has its texture and requirements for the shape, composition and rigidity of the application tool. For example, loose powders and blush are applied with lush makeup brushes made of natural bristles (squirrels, goats, ponies, sables, etc.), and those with soft synthetic bristles are acceptable for tonal foundations, lipsticks, and other fluid and cream foundations.

How to choose the right one

Experts give the following recommendations for selection:

• Test the handle. Check how strongly it is attached to the hairy part. Take the tip of the instrument and gently wave it to the sides. If the work side is loosely attached to the auxiliary side, leave it.
• Palp the bristle. It is better if they are soft. With products with increased rigidity, you risk damaging the skin.
• Check to see if the brush is shedding by pulling on the bristle and then dropping it sharply. It is great if all the hairs remain in their place.
• Find out how much lint it contains. Pinch a small part and see if there is a space between the hair. In professional makeup brushes, it is either absent or does not exceed 1 mm.
• Pay attention to the markings. On low-quality products, you can often see the abbreviation MAB. A cheap price should also be the alert.

Animal bristle tools are used when working with dry eyeshadow and blush, and synthetic materials are used for cosmetics with a liquid texture. Due to the different uses, it cannot be said which type is better. But be prepared for the fact that a natural bristle will lose its integrity in a couple of months. And the synthetic one can last for six months. Moreover, it does not absorb fats and particles of cosmetics.

Should you buy it in a set or separately?

Many brands offer to buy makeup brushes in sets or separately. If you don't know exactly what you need or have multiple skills in applying different cosmetics, go for the first option. You can find sets with several dozen products of different lengths and purposes, made of natural, combined and synthetic materials.

By purchasing the tools separately, you choose exactly what you need. But such a purchase is less profitable from a financial point of view. However, you will not waste money on unnecessary goods that are often included in sets.

You can choose the necessary makeup brushes and buy them in MAKEUP online store. Here, you will find both sets and separate tools with clear descriptions. You can also find out more information about a specific product from the reviews left by our customers.
