Hello Peach!
Which are the best makeup brushes?
It's not easy to answer that question within a bit more information about how you plan to use them.
Both natural and synthetic fibers have their place in the makeup kit.
Price is not always a good indicator of quality.
I have had insanely expensive brushes that fell apart after a few washing and inexpensive brushes that performed beautifully for years.
It all depends on how they’re made.
Some brushes may be too rough when applying makeup,
and some may not stand up well to frequent use.
If you're an animal lover, you should also pay close attention to what materials the bristles are made from.
Please keep reading my post if you are interested!
educated yourself by read this article before you buy..
Hope it might help <3
enjoy!
Content:
Whether you choose natural or synthetic brushes, it is all about the bristles.
To determine the quality of a makeup brush, you need to look at the bristles.
Makeup brushes contain three parts: the bristle, the ferrule, and the handle.

1. Bristles:
The bristles will be made from either natural animal hair or synthetic fibers.
2. Ferrule:
which is the metal piece that attaches the bristles to the handle.
3. Handle:
This can be made of any number of materials (wood, metal, acrylic, etc.).
Criterion For Good Quality Makeup Brushes:
1. Bristles is not easy to falling out. and the best bristles are made of natural/animal hair. However, Whether they’re natural, synthetic or blended, the brush bristles should always feel soft and smooth.
2. Ferrule material is not dent or bend easily with finger pressure. and glue inside ferrule must be stick well to the bristles.
3. Handle made of plastic or wood, most important are: Get the feel by mimicking application on face/eyes. Length, hardness and diameter should feel right, provide the right amount of comfort and control for eye precision application or light face brushing.
Most Essentials Problem:
Natural Vs. Fiber Bristles
let us discuss together between these (Natural and Fiber) Bristles. we will find out about advantages and disadvantages for each bristles.
1. Natural Bristles: Natural makeup brushes include bristles made from the fur of various animals, including squirrels, goats, badgers, horses, minks or sable.
(+) Advantages: perfectly for daily use and natural looks. good quality and better performance. softer brushes. better choice for a more natural finish to your makeup and easy to use, too, especially when you have a loose powder to apply. Natural brushes are a good option for eye shadows and blushes like this.
(-) Disadvantages: for some people it caused allergic because made of Animal Hair. or people do not want to use them due to ethical concerns. and also it cost much, in other word is expensive. easily fragile and needs more intensive care.
2. Fiber Bristles: Synthetic bristles are man-made and are usually either nylon or polyester filaments. They can be created to increase their color-carrying ability by blending fibers.
(+) Advantages: if you are allergic with natural bristles this is good option. fit for special event and dramatic looks. easily to clean, and no need intensive care (easier to keep clean than natural hair brushes because the filaments don't trap or absorb pigments, and they're better suited for layering powders or concealers since they hold up more solidly to makeup). long last makeup result. and also, affordable price.
(-) Disadvantages: However, there is still no finest fiber bristles as good as natural bristles quality. in about, scales grab and hold onto powder and then release it when brushed against another surface.
So, Natural Bristles is still the best <3
How To Recognize Natural or Fiber Bristles:
1. COLOR:
- Natural bristles mostly fully brown color
- Fiber bristles mostly got two color choices: Dark (Black) and Transparent (Made of Nylon)
2. TEXTURE
- Natural Bristles is softer and smoother
- Fiber bristles is plastic texture because made of nylon
easiest way to find out is by the color instead of the texture.
