Makeup brush inspection

For every makeup brush manufacturer, quality is the life. So we pay much attention on control the makeup brush quality during manufacturing and inspecting. Inspecting, as the last step of quality control, play a very important role in makeup brush factory, as well as other factories in all other fields.
 
Below are some methods and standards during our inspection of makeup brushes.
 
Inspection methods and Instruments
 
Manufacturing Instruction, Inspection Instruction, Visual inspection, Samples, Rulers, Vernier calipers, Micrometer etc
 
Our inspectors will firstly inspect the makeup brush dimension according to customer requirements as well as the confirmed samples
 
Step 2: Then will check the colors of bristles, handles, silver plating or gold plating etc according to customer requirements.
 
Step 3: Check the material, the sponge can not sallow or have rough edges; the bristle can not loose hairs, and bristle will not fade.
 
Step 4: check if the ferrule is firmly stuck to handle, no loose, no glue mark or stains
 
Step 5: Check if the makeup brush set match the requirements
 
Step 6: Test the bacterial and mould fungi content.
 
For custom makeup brushes, makeup brush manufacturers should firmly conform to customer requirements, so effective communication is the most important way to ensure customer requirements.

To return makeup brushes

Today, our inspector came to me angrily; she showed me the sponge applicators returned from one customer. I was surprised by the deformity sponge applicators.
 
All the sponge applicators are melt together, it is hard to separate them by hand, and the handles are also melt. The inspector was very angry about such sponge applicators are returned to us.
 
Obviously, it is not our quality problem, because our working condition is not so hot, in fact not hot at all. So, it should be the customer’s problem. But they returned the products and required replacements.
 
I believe no makeup brush manufacturer can accept such returns, if it is really our quality problem; we will certainly replace them, however, if the problem is caused at customer side, it is unreasonable for us to afford such lost.
 
Therefore, we should claim that: if you would like to return our makeup brushes or sponge applicators, please firstly contact us and let us know the reason, also send us the defects pictures, we will check and advise if returns are acceptable; if we confirm the returns, we will send you an RMA# for track, only after you get the RMA#, you can return the makeup brushes or sponge applicators, after getting your returns, we will send you the replacements ASAP.

makeup brush workshop

You will must be amazed once if you visit our makeup brush factory or workshop.
 
In our workshop, the workers are Combing hairs, mounding hairs, Squeezing ferrule, Dipping glue, assembling and packing.
 
Just like magic, the normal parts become beautiful and elegant makeup brushes in their hands, and will certainly make the worldwide ladies become more and more beautiful.
 
Then the makeup brushes are passed to the inspectors, the inspectors carefully check the brushes one by one, checking if there is any bristle loosing, if the ferrules tightly fit the handle, if the handle is smooth and bright, and so on. They will return any unqualified items back to the production line and pass the qualified makeup brushes to the packers.
 
The packers will firstly weigh individual brushes as well as the whole min package, they will also check if the quantity is correct. If everything is ok, they will put the min package into the carton; our carton size is normally 35*30*35cm.
 
Then it is the time for our logistic department, for small package, they will deliver by Express; for large quantity, they will contact the forwarder to ship by sea.
 
As a makeup brush manufacturer, most of our orders are to custom makeup brushes. So the above process may change via customer requirements. For example, we may need to print logo on the handles; and the min package as well as the outer carton size may also change upon request.

Reserve the confirmed samples

As a makeup brush manufacturer, we have various orders of custom makeup brushes; each order has different requirements on dimension, color, outline and material etc, so the management of confirmed samples is very necessary for all makeup brush manufacturers.
 
Usually, during quotation, we will communicate with customers about their requirements, and will finally send them samples for confirmation. After confirmation, we will reserve the confirmed samples in our sample book, manufacture and inspect the makeup brushes according to the samples. We will also require the customer to reserve the samples in case of any disagreement in future.
 
If a customer orders various kinds of makeup brushes from us, we will separately establish a sample book for the customer, which will ensure easier traceability.
 
If customer would like to have any change on the samples in future, we will reconfirm the samples and also update the brush in the sample book.

Makeup brush manufacturer

What is makeup brush manufacturer? Makeup brush manufacturer refer these factories who produce or manufacture various makeup brushes. The makeup brush factory has ability to design, produce and inspect makeup brushes.
 
The most important difference between makeup brush manufacturers and dealers are the ability to custom makeup brushes. The manufacturers can custom makeup brushes according to different customer requirements, while the dealers or trading companies can only sell the existing brushes.
 
Also, due to the company strength, some makeup brush manufacturers can sell their brushes to worldwide, while some can not, then they have to firstly sell the brushes to dealers, and then the dealers add profit to sell worldwide.
 
Toney is a makeup brush manufacturer, also can sell our makeup brushes to worldwide at factory direct price. As if you offer the necessary information, we can send you free quotation for the brushes. We can not ensure our price is the lowest, but we can promise that you will get our best price.
 
The necessary information we need for quotation is as follows:
 
1. Hair material and length, or send us the picture which shows the length of each part, like the below picture.
 
2. Ferrule material, length, and diameter
 
3. Handle material and length
 
4. Total length of the powder brush
 
5. Package requirements
 
6. If you can send us a sample for evaluation, that will be the best.

The naming rule of our makeup brushes

For makeup brush manufacturers, as there are so many existing makeup brushes in their sample book, and once there are customers want to custom makeup brushes, the confirmed samples must also be added to the sample book. So every makeup brush manufacturer must have its own naming rule for makeup brushes, although the rule varies from makeup brush factory to makeup brush factory.
 
As for Toney, our makeup brush names are mainly base on the handle size and brush type. For example, 1152C means that the handle size is 11*52mm, C refers blush brush; and 327B means the handle size is 3*27mm, B refers sponge applicator. In our factory, A refers lip pencil, B refers sponge applicator, C means blush brush, and D means lip brush.

AutoCAD is helpful during custom makeup brush

These days, all staffs in our factory are puzzled by a problem.
 
The problem is: a makeup brush supplier (trading company) wants to custom makeup brush from us, they told us their detailed requirements on makeup brushes and package, and we have sent them quotation accordingly.
 
To have a more visual impression, the customer asked us to send them pictures including packing details to show what the makeup brushes we quote is like. While for custom makeup brushes, our quotation is just base on the customer requirements and description, we evaluate the cost on material, manufacturing and packing etc, and then quote accordingly to customers.
 
Our quotation is somewhat a kind of theory. We have no existing makeup brushes that can match or totally the same as the customized one. Therefore, we have no pictures to show the customer.
 
We can understand that our customers want to see what their makeup brushes will look like, while for our factory, or other makeup brush manufacturers, it is rather difficult to achieve. In this aspect, the makeup brush manufacturers are relatively passive.
 
So how to solve the problem and break this bottleneck?
 
After discussion with our engineer, I get an answer. Maybe we can use AutoCAD to draw the pictures of makeup brushes according to customer requirements and description, and then send the drawing to customers for their confirmation.
 
If this method is feasible, it will greatly help our business for custom makeup brushes.
 
What do you think? Is it a good idea?

After the Chinese New Year, most raw materials rise in price; and according to the government policy in China, the base salary of workers increase from RMB 960 to RMB 1140, so the situation of Chinese makeup brush manufacturers becomes harder and harder.

Teach you to recognize the date codes of famous makeup brands

After a period of development, the makeup market are becoming more and more standard, users requirements on makeup are also higher and higher, the quality inspection and more and more professional. However, as many famous makeup brands are imported to China, and their description are always in English, which bothers many Chinese users. So it is rather a problem to recognize the date code of these imported makeups. Below is some instruction to recognize the most popular makeup.
 
Dior: the date code is usually four numbers, the first number represent year, for example, 4D01 represents that the makeup is manufactured in 2004, if 5D01, it represents that the makeup is manufactured in 2005. The second number represents month, A, B, C to M represents Jan, Feb, March to December (as the letter I is very similar to the Arabic numeral 1, it is easy to confuse, so the number I is skipped) , for example, 3L01 represents that the makeup is manufactured in 2003 Nov.
 
Biotherm: the date code is usually C+ one letter+ three numbers. For example, CB234 represents that manufacturing date is the 234th day in 2005. Here C represents the origin (France), B represents year 2005, A represents 2004, B is 2005, C is 2006, D is 2007, The rest can be done in the same manner, however, there is no Z, just to Y, then back to A.
 
Estée Lander: three numbers for date code, for example B34, the last number 4 represents 2004, 3 represents March, B represents Origin. As the second number which represents month, if it is Oct, Nov and Dec, the number will be A, B and C. The origins of Estée Lander is B (Britain), A (America), I (Italy, usually for lip gloss and eyeshadow), and C (Canada, usually for mascara)
 
Elizabeth Arden: The date code generally includes three numbers, the first number represents year, the last number represent month (number 1-9 represent Jan to Sep, A, B, C represent Oct, Nov and Dec), for example, 2D9 represents 2009 Sep; 3DA represents 2003 Oct
 
H2O :The first four numbers show the date code, for example, 5254H53, the first 5 represents 2005, 254 represents the 254th day of 2005.
 
THE BODY SHOP:The date code has five numbers, first number represents year (A represents2005, B is 2006), the second to forth numbers are the production date in this year (1-366), the fifth number represents origin, for example, A190A means that the first batch of 2005 July
 
CHANEL:The date code has four numbers, but only the first two numbers relates production date. For example 18xx represents the production date is 2001 Oct, 19xx represents 2001 Nov, 20xx represents 2001 Dec. The Storage life of CHANEL skin care products and makeup products are three years.
 
LOreal:For example, FB263 represents the production date is 263th day in 200. F means origin (France), the second number means year, A represents 2004, B represents 2005, C represents 2006, but no Z, as Z is easy to confuse with 2
 
Lancome:For example, CB159, the first number C represents origin (france), the second number B means 2005, A represents 2004, C represents 2006, D represents 2007, 159 is the production date
 
Clinique:Date code usually has three numbers, for example K61, K means origin, the third number means year, the second number means month, K61 means 2001 June. Months are represented by number 1-9 and letter A, B, C. AC2 means 2002 Dec, AB3 means 2003 Nov, A34 means 2004 March.
 
Clarins:the date code includes several numbers, for example 303129, the first number 3 means 2003, the second and third numbers mean month, 03 means March, the last two numbers represents the input container number.
 
Makeup is just like food, the production date and Storage life are very important, so while buy makeup, pay more attention on the date code.

A good way to clean makeup brushes

If you have makeup habit, you must have some makeup brushes. I am a makeup brush complex,  has found a good makeup brush supplier in Taobao, and has bought a makeup brush set (9 brushes) from her.
Everyone know that good quality makeup brushes can last ten years, while if you do not maintain them periodically, it will certainly short brush life. I am always bothered by brush cleaning,after searching on internet, I find the professional makeup brush cleanser are rather expensive. For the poor like me, it is almost bankrupted to buy makeup brushes, so really can not afford the expensive cleanser.
So I asked the seller, she told me to use Bath Foam or Amway liquid detergent. I tried, it works well for eyeshadow brushes and blush brushes, however, for lip brushes, foundation brushes, Eyeliner Brushes and Concealer Brushes, it does not work at all.
Finally I get inspiration from makeup remove, I find that makeup remover oil is the best product to remove makeup, even if the waterproof mascara can also easily removed, the theory is that oil can dissolve powder substance. So my method is: take some cooking oil(you can also use makeup remover oil), and dip the brush into the oil, the press and let brush absorb as much oil as it can, then you will find that the powder substance will float on brush surface and be dissolved by oil; after that, clean the brush by liquid detergent, as liquid detergent can remove oil.
I believe every house has cooking oil, and per my experience, clean by cooking oil and remover oil is totally same in effects. I also tried remover lotion and foam, the effects are bad, not good as cooking oil.

We should learn from Korean and Japanese makeup brush factories

Although many Chinese makeup brush manufacturers somewhat dislike Korean and Japanese companies, we are indeed fall behind them in business. Japanese and Korean are excellent nationalities; they always require perfect goods and never allow “almost good” products. While most Chinese makeup brush companies often say “almost” during working and manufacturing.
 
What does “almost” mean? The Korean and Japanese can not understand, and strongly dislike the word. That is the most important reason that many customers prefer to buy makeup brushes from them despite of their price much higher than Chinese makeup brush supplier. Their makeup brushes can make customers relax on quality.
 
I once worked in a Korean makeup brush factory, once a customer visited us with a makeup brush sample, he said: “there are so many Chinese makeup brush factories around, but I come here because I trust your makeup brush quality.” We even not show him our products, he has placed orders. I believe if it is a Chinese makeup brush factory, customer must require to check its existing products even if the brushes are really good in quality. So it is difficult for Chinese makeup brush companies to compete with Korean and Japanese companies in short period.
 
Since Chinese makeup brush factories have price advantage, why not try best to manufacture the best makeup brushes? We should learn from Korean and Japanese makeup brush manufactures, “almost” good makeup brushes are equal to bad brushes. To compete with Korean and Japanese companies, we must try best to meet all customer requirements and make the perfect makeup brushes.

Great makeup brushes

Great makeup brushes are key to polished, gorgeous makeup application. Whether you’re looking for cruelty-free synthetic bristles or brushes made from natural hair, a small travel brush set or a full collection of quality makeup brushes, we have something for every makeup artists. When you start with the right makeup brushes, you’re already on your way to a flawless finish.

on makeup brushes

Not everyone uses makeup brushes. Eyeshadow can be applied on the eye with a finger. Lipstick doesnt need a brush, and mascara, of course, comes with a brush of its own. So why bother to buy makeup brushes?
 
Atually, makeup brushes are not just an optional extra. They help you apply your makeup with greater accuracy and precision, and they create a significant difference to the finished look. Therefore, if you take your face seriously, a set of good quality makeup brushes could be the best investment youll make.

Types of Makeup Brushes

Unfortunately, when buy makeup brushes; it is definitely not a case of "one size fits all". Different types are designed for different purposes, and for the best possible results, it is a good idea to buy a small selection.
Here are the main types of makeup brushes available:
  • Foundation Brush
While most of us simply rub foundation in with our fingers or apply it with sponge, we are actually missing out on something. A foundation brush has a flat shape and long bristles, making sure that your foundation is absolutely applied and flawlessly blended.
  • Concealer brush
Again, you can just use your fingers, but whether youre using your concealer to disguise a blemish or lighten under eye shadows, a concealer brush is better. It will allow your concealer to be concentrated on the area youre trying to cover and that has to be a good thing!
The momentous of all makeup brushes, your powder brush is used to dust loose powder over your face, setting your makeup and eliminating any shine.
Makeup Artists use three separate brushes on the eyes: a medium-sized one on the lid, a small one to line the socket of the eye, and a larger one to add highlighter to the area under the brow. You can also buy eyeliner brushes to apply liquid eye shadow or to blend eye shadow around the eyes for a smoky, sexy look!
As the name suggests, a blush brush is used to add color to the cheeks. One of the larger of the brushes youll use, it has soft bristles and is intended to blend color as well as apply it.
While lipstick is designed to be applied directly from the case, using a lip brush will provide even more and accurate coverage, plus make your lipstick last longer too! For the longest-lasting application, use your foundation brush to cover your lips with a thin layer of foundation, dust with powder, apply lipstick, dust again, then blot.

Where to Buy

Youll find a selection of makeup brushes for sale anywhere that sells cosmetics. Many people, however, like to buy a matching set, and this can be a good idea as a set will normally contain each of the brushes youll need.

Brush Care

Makeup brushes never last forever. Frequent use that involves coating them in various types of makeup, it is important to make sure that you care for them appropriately. Your makeup brushes should be stored out of harms way after each use, and cleaned regularly with warm water.

Assemble a Makeup Brush Kit

Purchasing a preassembled makeup brush set is not always the best way to use your money. The following shows how to choose essential makeup brushes by yourselves.
 
Follow These Eight Easy Steps
 
1   Pick a powder brush
The powder brush should be soft and fluffy and have a medium dome so the powder is distributed evenly over your face.Kabuki brush is also ok.
 
2    Pick a blush brush
Your blush brush should have slightly angled bristles and be at least three inches at its longest tip to avoid streaking.
 
3    Pick a foundation brush
The foundation brush can be used as an alternative to your fingers or a sponge for applying liquid foundation; it should be flat and have stiff bristles that allow for sheer coverage.
 
4    Pick a concealer brush
Similar to the foundation brush, the concealer brush should have fine dense bristles that help cover blemishes accurately.
 
5    Choose two eyeshadow brushes
A brush with small bristles should be used to apply shadow; a flat brush to blend the shadow.
 
6    Pick a brow brush
The eyebrow brush should have a tiny comb on one side and stiff bristles on the other.

Tip: In a pinch, you can use a toothbrush to tame your brows.
 
7    Pick an angled brush
Used for applying eye liner or for filling in your eyebrows, a thin stiff-bristled brush provides the most precision.
 
8    Pick a lip brush
For applying lipsticks and glosses, you’ll need a small dense brush.

Mineral Makeup Brush

A good mineral makeup brush is essential in applying your mineral makeup. The brush will aid you in getting that smooth look you’ve always wanted to achieve. Your makeup brush should help to lightly spread your makeup evenly over ever surface on your face.
 
The mineral makeup brush should last you quite a while if you choose the right one. Mineral makeup can be expensive, so why skimped in the mineral makeup brush? 
 
If at all possible, your mineral makeup brush should fit nicely into your over mineral makeup kit with ease

Use makeup brushes to promote products

Although makeup brushes are so tiny, they usually work really well during promotion.
 
For cosmetics manufacturers and shop, their products will more popular if has some beautiful and mini makeup brushes inside the cosmetics box.
 
So many cosmetics boxes equip makeup brushes, even if not, the cosmetics suppliers may give customers some makeup brushes as a gift to promote their cosmetics. That is why many famous brands custom makeup brushes with their own logos from makeup brush factories in China or other countries.
 
For beauty salons, giving makeup brushes as gift is also a good way to attract customers. Think about that, after a comfortable makeup, the makeup artists smile and put a beautiful makeup brush set into your hands to express their respect, won’t you happy and have a very good impression on this salon?
 
Even for these shops who sell female clothes and shoes etc which has nothing to do makeup, it is also a good way to give customers makeup brushes as gifts. As long as the selling goods are for females, you can promote your products via makeup brushes.
 
As long as you think and try, you will find that makeup brushes can help your sales, while with much lower cost comparing with advertisements.

Can Toney brushes compete with MAC?

Some may laugh at this question. MAC is such a famous international brand, while Toney is just an unknown Chinese makeup brush factory; it is ridiculous to bracket them together.
 
I recognize that Toney can not compete with MAC in international influence; however, I believe that not only for makeup brush wholesaler but also for worldwide users, brand is not the only standard for their choice. Good quality and at the same time at a moderate price, should be the standard for us to choose makeup brushes.
 
Famous brands always pay a lot of money to promote their brushes, so their makeup brush cost is very high, which will finally afford by customers. Therefore, their makeup brushes are really expensive for salariat. To reduce cost and attract more customers, many famous brands custom makeup brushes in Chinese makeup brush manufacturers and factories at low price, and ship the finished brushes to their headquarters, then sell these makeup brushes to worldwide.
 
Some may recommend MAC brushes for the high-grade bristles and handles, while it is just material issue not technique issue; if with the same material, Toney can also manufacture makeup brushes with the same grade and quality, but with much lower price, as our labor cost is very low.
 
Being a makeup brush manufacturers for about ten years, Toney has gained our fames by our good quality brushes. Welcome to custom makeup brushes or wholesale makeup brushes from Toney.

How Often Should You Clean Makeup Brushes

You know you shouldnt keep mascara for more than three months; it rarely lasts that long, anyway. Also, your favorite eyeshadow isnt around long enough to need an expiration date. But have you considered your makeup brushes? Good quality makeup brushes can last for years, which is wonderful on the budget; however, if you dont wash them regularly, it can be awful for your complexion and allow that accumulated dirt and bacteria to go right back on your skin every time you apply powder.

Minimum: Once Weekly

You heard it right--once a week should be the minimum and not just for the over-achievers or the germaphobic. Choose a regular day of the week, or have a little brush cleaning ritual every weekend. Before you paint your fingernails is best.

Problem Skin: Daily

If you deal with acne or random outbreaks, have rosacea or very sensitive skin, you should wash your makeup brushes daily. Simply make it part of your regular beauty regime every morning. It only takes a few extra moments to wash those makeup brushes and your skin will thank you.

Using Shampoo

The most common method of cleaning makeup brushes is to simply hold each brush under warm running water, lather up with a tiny bit of shampoo, rinse clean and then allow to air dry. When drying, stand the makeup brushes up or lay them so the bristles are hanging off the edge of the sink; you dont want them to simply sit in accumulated water and stay soaked all day. They wont be clean and it can cause damage to the brushes. For those with very sensitive skin, a gentle makeup remover or a baby shampoo might be the best choice for cleansing makeup brushes.

Using Special Products

There are special makeup brush cleansers available and they will work fine to clean your makeup brushes. Essentially, most are the same as any gentle cleanser. Play around and see what works best on your brushes and if your skin seems to react to any particular product. Be sure that whatever cleansing option you choose, you dont have any soapy residue left in your brushes after the final rinse.

When to Replace makeup brushes

Good quality makeup brushes can endure a lot of washing and using. All good things do come to an end eventually, so when you notice the bristles getting fuzzy, breaking off, or refusing to lay flat, its time to replace the brush.

Make Your Own Makeup Brush Cleaner

Cleaning your makeup brushes is very important to keep infections and other ickiness from contacting with your skin. However, makeup brush cleaner is rather expensive, so why not make your own makeup brush cleaner out of stuff you have in your house?
It is very easy

Instructions

Things you’ll need:

  • dish or container to mix ingredients in
  • spoon to mix with
  • 1 cup distilled or purified water
  • 1 tablespoon alcohol
  • 1 tablespoon shampoo (baby shampoo or a gentle shampoo work best)
  • 1 tablespoon leave in conditioning spray (optional)
  • measuring cup
  • measuring spoons
  • bottle to put the cleaner in when finished
1. To make your own makeup brush cleaner, you must first, combine your water, alcohol, shampoo, and leave in conditioning spray into your mixing container or dish.
2.  Next, stir the ingredients SLOWLY. If you stir too quickly it could cause the shampoo to suds up, which is exactly what you dont want, so take your time mixing.
3.  Last, but not least, simply pour the mixture into a bottle and start cleaning your brushes. If you dont have a steady hand, you may want to use a funnel for this last step. I like to put half of the mixture into a small spray bottle and half into a regular bottle so that I can use it to deep clean and spot clean my brushes.

Tips & Warnings

  • Adding the leave in conditioner is not necessary, but it will keep the hairs on your makeup brushes soft.
  • Keeping your makeup brushes clean is absolutely necessary to avoid infections.
  • If you have an infection in your eyes such, avoid using your makeup brushes as you dont want the bacteria on your brushes or in your makeup. Applying makeup over infections can also slow down the healing process.
  • Keep the mixture out of the reach of children!

Clean your makeup brushes if you want a healthy skin

 
Your makeup brushes and applicators may breed grounds for bacteria, which can lead to acne, clogged pores, and impurities on your skin. Not so pretty. On January 26, health and beauty blog, Blisstree offered a few tips to keep your makeup brushes fresh and tidy.
First step, make sure your makeup hasnt expired. Mascara, because of its proximity to the eyes, should be replaced every three months, states Blisstree. "Most other makeup should be discarded after one year," said Dr. Carol L. Clinton, of skincare company Timeless Skin Solutions, in the article. "Youll notice that its consistency changes, and that any SPF in the product will have deteriorated."
Her advice: Clean your makeup brushes weekly to keep a significant amount of bacteria from accumulating in the brush. If you use a makeup brush daily to apply liquid makeup, however, youll need to clean it daily.
Blisstrees tips for cleaning makeup brushes:
1. Shampoo or facial cleaner: Since most makeup brushes are made of natural hair, dabbing some shampoo into the palm of your hand and swirling the brush around in it under warm water should do the trick. Facial cleaners work well too.
2. Vinegar and water: To kill bacteria on your makeup brushes, make a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water. Dip the brush into the vinegar solution and rinse in clean warm water.

3. Makeup brush cleaners
: You can also purchase a specialized makeup brush cleaner, with some options to spray on and wipe off. Prices range from around €10 to €25. Sephora sells one for around $14/€11, as do Clinique and Bare Escentuals.
