Are Natural or Synthetic Makeup Brushes Better?

Whether for a big night out or a casual day, high-quality products, including primers, foundation, concealers and setting powders are essential to creating beautiful makeup looks. However, having the right tools like excellent makeup brushes is vitally important as well.

Not only are quality brushes better for your skin, but they also help you create better looks because they make blending easier and smoother. In addition, good make-up brushes are durable and will last you a long time, so you can save money by not having to constantly replace your brushes.

 

Synthetic vs. Natural Makeup Brushes – What Is the Difference?

While synthetic makeup brushes are made with nylon or other plastic bristles, natural makeup brushes have soft bristles sourced from animal hair (usually goat, mink, fox, squirrel or sable hair) that makes blending easy and smooth. They are ideal for applying powder-based makeup, including eyeshadow, blush, bronzer, setting and finishing powder.

Since the sourcing of animal hair and handcrafting of natural brushes is costly, natural brushes are usually more expensive than synthetic ones. In addition, as people have become more ethically minded, synthetic, or vegan makeup brushes have also gained popularity.

People often prefer natural products thinking they are healthier, safer and better for the environment. While that may hold true for food, cosmetics, and personal care products, it doesn’t apply to makeup brushes. Innovative technology and a fine-tuned manufacturing process have made it possible to create synthetic brushes that mimic the soft texture of natural bristles without their side effects.

For one, natural bristles are more difficult to clean since they easily trap dead skin cells, powders, and bacteria on their irregular surface. Synthetic fibres are less likely to trap makeup and bacteria, making it easier to clean them. In addition, they can be regularly sanitised without drying out the bristles, whereas natural animal hair may easily break or dry out. Consequently, synthetic bristles are more durable while natural bristles may not last as long.
