The two primary types of brushes are synthetic and natural. Synthetic brushes (typically made up of some nylon or other synthetic fibers) are great for applying cream and liquid products since they cannot absorb makeup. Less absorption means less waste and longer use of the product. Natural brushes (comprised of a type of animal hair) are usually considered best for applying powder products. However, natural brushes are, obviously, not vegan so there are some ethical implications with using them. As with most products, use will be determined by personal preference.
Whether you’re just getting started with makeup, looking to build a solid professional makeup kit or you’re just interested in getting back to the essentials, these are the top 10 types of brushes I’d recommend.
