Makeup brushes are designed to make makeup application easier and enhance the product. A good brush will help you to achieve the best results. It creates an even, smooth and flawless look. Every makeup user needs to know the knowledge behind the brushes. This guide covers things you don't know about makeup brushes.
There are different makeup brushes with their functions. Let's look at the one you shouldn't miss in your collection.
Natural makeup brush bristles
Natural bristles are animal hairs like goats, sable, squirrels, and horses. These hairs may be soft brown or tan brown. They can also be bleached white or dyed black. Natural hairs have a cuticle that absorbs oils and pigments. Therefore, they are great for blending products.
Synthetic makeup brush bristles
Synthetic bristles are made from synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester. These bristles are naturally white or colorless but can also be dyed. Unlike natural hairs, these bristles lack cuticles thus don't absorb pigments and oils. For this reason, they are great for applying liquid and cream products.
Since 2018, Shangyang has finished the CDP questionnaire for ECO VADIS assessment every year and set carbon emission targets. We specially develop 100% naturally degradable No. 11 and No. 12 makeup brushes. They are extracted from pure natural plants. As the first company in the industry to develop completely biodegradable cosmetic bristles, our specially treated No. 12 cosmetic bristles can be decomposed by microorganisms in water and carbon dioxide within 3-5 years.
Clean and care
It's essential to clean your tools at least twice every month. Follow these steps:
● Use lukewarm water to rinse powder products. Ensure the bristles point downwards.
● Take soap, use your palm, brush cleaner, or mat to lather the hairs.
● Rinse the soap with lukewarm water, reshape the hairs.
● Put the brushes on a towel to dry overnight.
● After they are dry, use brush storage and store the brushes facing upwards.
