                     HOW TO SELECT MAKEUP BRUSHES?
Are you a cosmetics professionalism? Do you know there are two different types of brushes for liquid and powder 
foundation? Do you have any idea about how to make your eyes pop? If you have all the shades of eye-shadows and 
the perfect color shade of lipstick for every dress in your closet — well, you really know your makeup. Global 
Cosmetics Industry Magazine has reported that cosmetics bring about approximately $230 billion in global sales every 
year, so it is quite clear that even in harsh and tough economic times consumers buy makeup. And why not? Makeup 
helps boost people’s confidence, accentuate their natural features such as their eyes, cheekbones. Even enhance the 
mood with a simple sweep of sexy and alluring lip color.

•It’s your choice whether you like to buy cosmetics from the drugstore or you spend your dollars at higher-
end and costly makeup counters.
• The products that you buy will not help you get that glow you’re aiming for if you don’t have a quality 
makeup brush. The brushes bring your cosmetics palette to life and help in revealing the difference 
between a flawless face and a cluttered clown.
•So, how to tell whether or not the brush that you’re buying is a perfect makeup brush? There is a 
straightforward test to find out the durability and quality of the brush:
•Rub the brush against the skin of your face. The bristles of the brush should have a soft and feathery feel, 
not rough or scratchy that may harm the surface of your skin while using.
•To test the strength of the bristles of the brush, run the brush against your hand to check the firmity or if 
any fibers fall out from it.
•In case they do, it’s a big no-no. If the brush’s bristles stay intact to the brush and feel soft, it’s a yes-yes, 
(imitating Ross) and, thus, a keeper.
•But, looking for and selecting the right makeup tools is much beyond testing for bristle strength. Let’s 
move forward and find out various ways of finding a good quality brush that will solve your makeup 
issues.

TIP
•Makeup brushes are sensitive and delicate items. 
•If combined with makeup leftover, the oil from your face will hinder brush performance with 
passing time, not to mention harbor bacteria. 
•Famous bridal makeup artists suggest washing your brushes with a mild cleaning agent (such as 
baby shampoo) to keep them clean and free of oil.
• after every 2- 3 uses or after every use if used on some other person.

TYPES OF MAKEUP BRUSHES
•These makeup brushes come in endless shapes and sizes you can imagine. 
•One significant difference found with makeup brushes is the bristles which is the most essential part of 
the brush that helps transfer the makeup material from the palette to the application on face.
• Apart from the test mentioned above, the process of choosing the right kind of brush for the particular 
skin often involves a journey of trial and error.
• Some brushes may have edgy bristles making it harsh on your skin when applying makeup, while some 
may not stand up well to frequent use due to the gripping material used. 
•Consumers who share compassion and affection for animals should also be mindful of what they are 
buying. 
•Thus paying close attention to the materials used for making it is synthetic and not animal’s fur.

•Brushes that have bristles made with hairs from animal fur are quite expensive than those made of 
synthetic hair. 
•Bristles made from animal hair have the property to hold powder material better than synthetic ones. 
Thus creating a softer, more natural feel on the skin. 
•If you are an uncompromising animal rights supporter, however, you may have to find out about the 
creation and material of the brushes that were made humanely before buying. 
•Natural makeup brushes have bristles taken from the fur of various animals, such as squirrels, goats, 
badgers, horses, minks, or sable. 
•The conditions in which these animals are kept are quite questionable and inhumane.

•Synthetic bristles, on the other hand, are artificial and are usually created from either nylon or polyester 
filaments. 
•They can be pushed to the expectation of color-carrying ability by blending fibers. 
•Very Often, these bristles are dyed and baked to make them softer and more absorbent, further making 
them less prone to damage from makeup and solvents. 
•Synthetic brushes are low maintenance and easier to clean than natural hair brushes because their 
bristles do not trap or absorb pigments.
• and they are more and better suited for layering of powders or concealers since they have the ability to 
grip better to makeup.
• Moreover, synthetic fiber brushes are also a great choice for people with allergies to animal fur.

•Keep in mind that regardless of your budget or even the kind of makeup you use on a regular basis, 
•finding and selecting the perfect brush depends a lot on your personal preference.

bargain-bin buy.

you take care of it.
