Synthetic vs. natural makeup brushes: which brush is better?<\/h2>\n

There is a big debate about whether makeup artists should use natural or synthetic brushes. The truth is, both types have their pros and cons. While it might not be possible to settle this age-old debate once for all, the best approach would be to try different brush types for yourself and see which ones work better. This way you can decide what is best for you.<\/p>\n

Natural brushes<\/a> have been around for centuries and are made from animal hair, such as goats, squirrels, badgers, and horses. They are soft and absorbent, making them perfect for applying powders and liquids. However, they need to be washed frequently as they can easily become stained.<\/p>\n

How can you tell if a makeup brush is synthetic?<\/h2>\n

One of the easiest ways to determine if a makeup brush is synthetic is to feel the bristles. If they’re soft, then they’re likely made from synthetic materials. You can also check the base of the bristles; if they’re glued on, they’re likely synthetic. Finally, you can read the brush’s packaging to see if it states that they are synthetic.<\/p>\n
