What brand is good for makeup brushes? The brush rod materials for makeup brushes generally include acrylic, plastic, wood, bamboo, metal, resin, etc. The pipe mouth on the brush is 90% made of aluminum pipe, and there are few copper pipes on the market, which is too expensive.
The most conventional ones are bamboo poles and wooden poles. Birch wood is the most widely used wooden pole, and there is also high-end sandalwood. It goes without saying that sandalwood is the most expensive. Raw wood is expensive, and with processing and post production, it will only be more expensive.
The rest are relatively common, and acrylic is relatively more expensive and requires mold opening. Generally, acrylic is chosen by large customers who need to mass produce a certain style or series. So brush factories with the ability to produce acrylic brush rods are generally well-established, not small retail investors.

(2) Artificial fiber
According to the hair peak, it is divided into sharpened fibers and non sharpened fibers. Sharp fiber has slender and soft hair peaks, with better elasticity than animal hair. It does not absorb powder and is easy to clean, making it suitable for thick and creamy makeup.
In addition to differences in bristle materials, the brush heads of professional brush tools also adopt different sizes and shapes according to the makeup area, presenting various curved, pointed, or flat brush head shapes. Whether the lines and curves of the brush head are smooth or not can affect the makeup effect, so the shape of the brush head is also an important factor affecting the makeup effect.
The softer and more dispersed the bristles, the weaker the powder grip, making it suitable for smudging or requiring a small amount of multiple coloring The denser and harder the bristles, the stronger the powder grip, making it suitable for use in areas that require color rendering or enhancement.
