We all know that the materials of makeup brushes are mainly divided into two categories: artificial hair and animal hair.There are almost no differences in appearance, but they feel different.

1. Artificial fiber

Advantages: It is better for sensitive skin, no smell of animal hair. The biggest advantage of artificial hair brushes is that they are more washable, so most foundation brushes, eyeliner brushes and lip brushes are made by artificial fiber hairs.

Disadvantages: It is relatively hard and can’t bloom well,  and a bit of uncomfortable.

2. Wool

Advantages: It is the most common material which blooms ,grasps powder, and colors well, with more or less off-taste. Wool is the main source of animal bristle brushes.

Disadvantages: Low-grade wool brushes have no hair peaks, and the hair quality is relatively rough.

3. Horsehair

Advantages: It is slightly hard, but colors well.

Disadvantages: Cheap horsehair brushes can be a bit puny, and they are often mixed into the bristles of other materials to reduce costs.

4. Chinchilla hair

Advantages: The hair roots are fine and well dyed, very soft, and the upper face is like a spring breeze, which has a natural gloss after applying makeup.

Disadvantages: It is too soft to color well enough, and fluffy. It is suitable for heavy-duty powder products (such as shadow brushes), and the price is relatively expensive.

5. Squirrel hair

Advantages: The hair is smooth and soft.

Disadvantages: The hair is very dense and loose, which is more suitable for small repair brushes.
