Different bristles have different properties. It is vital to select the correct type of hair for the application of cosmetics, depending on the desired effect. The type of hair fiber selected generally determines the overall value of your brush.
Natural hairs have scales, and the more scales, the greater the ability to attract and hold products. This increased absorbency provides greater control in the application of makeup products because they are held within the body of the brush, allowing for even flow off the tip of the brush.
Unlike natural animal hair, synthetics do not have scales. Synthetic fibers will not absorb makeup-liquid or powder. Resilience and stiffness are the second most important characteristic. The presence or lack of it in a particular hair will define how it can be used and with what type of liquid.
Synthetic hair brushes are typically used for liquid or cream foundation, concealer, and lip sticks. In contrast to natural hairs, they will become stiffer with use.
Nowadays, there appeared many synthetic hairs which imitate scale of natural hairs, their softness, resilience and ability of catching product are similar to natural hairs. They are widely used for powder brush, blush brush, contour brush, highlighting brush, eyeshadow brush and blending brush.
