A short description and review of the brush I used.

ecotools powder brush, ecotools blush brush, fake 187

ecotools powder brush

It’s a huge fluffy brush with soft synthetic hair. I haven’t tried such a soft brush before. It’s perfect for applying loose powder. Perhaps you can use it as a blush brush, but I think it’s a bit too large for that and too soft.

ecotools blush brush (must have!)

This one is also made of synthetic hair, but, as I mentioned above – they’re SO soft. It’s perfect for applying blush. I use it for soft or solid blushes. It’s really great for every blush I own.

Fake 187 (must have!)

This is one of the most popular brushes or at least I got that impression. The great thing about this brush is that you can use it for applying everything you want – loose powder, liquid foundation or blush. I haven’t tried applying loose powder with it, but I think it would be good for that too.

Applying liquid foundation with this brush is taking a whole new dimension – you get to know the true meaning of the words Photoshop effect. Your face does look as it got off a magazine cover.   I love applying highly pigmented with this brush because you can control how strong the blush will look on your face.

Coastal scents large foundation brush, ecotools foundation brush, ecotools concealer brush

Coastal Scents large foundation brush – flat (must have!)

This brush is quite huge and has a long handle. I was surprised when I got it, didn’t expect it would be *that* large, lol. It’s flat, with synthetic hair which are just the way they should be – not too soft for applying foundation. I apply my liquid foundation by tapping with it on the face and after I’ve done that I simply spread the foundation equally all over my face. It doesn’t absorb too much of foundation like some brushes do.

ecotools foundation brush

This brush is quite small in compare with Coastal Scents large foundation brush. I don’t use it for applying makeup; I sometimes use it to fix already applied foundation. I figured this brush is too small for my taste and it absorbs too much foundation while used. It has dense synthetic hair which are soft but firm since the bristles are shorter than the brush above this one.

ecotools concealer brush (must have!)

Perfect for applying either liquid or stock concealer. It’s quite firm though the bristles are gentle and soft. I also use it for applying eyeshadows, I found it’s perfect for that too.

kabuki, buffer četka

MAD Minerals kabuki brush (must have!)

I’ve been using this kabuki brush for over that a year and a half and during that time it lost only 4 hair. It’s indeed long lasting kabuki brush, worth every penny. I use it for applying my mineral foundation or to smudge my liquid foundation as the last step in applying liquid foundation.

The bristles are small, and this brush is also called baby kabuki brush but it’s easy for use and I think anyone should have at least one kabuki brush. I find it very useful.

Coastal scents synthetic wide buffer brush (must have!)

Since I got this brush I barely use my kabuki brush!  I use it to apply loose powder or mineral foundation. The fact it’s wide and flat makes it much easier for use and much efficient. I think I’ll order another one.

It has synthetic hair which are soft and perfect for nicely applied loose  or compact powder.

coastal scents blending brush, ecotools angled brush, painting brushes

Coastal scents blending brush (must have!)

You don’t have to have this particular blush, but you *must* have a blending brush. These brushes are soft and somehow fluffy but at the same time firm which is important for blending. If you use eyeshadows rare or on regular basis, you must have this brush.

ecotools angled brush (must have!)

I’ve already mentioned this brush here and here and I don’t have anything else to add so please read my previous posts.

Painting brushes

These aren’t makeup brushes, but I use them for certain details either eye or face details. I bought them here; they are synthetic and firm enough for details.

How do I clean my brushes?

Liquid soap, baby bath or anything else you think is suitable for cleaning your brushes. I use liquid soap and mild water and that’s it. The only brush I clean with my waterproof makeup remover is my angled brush which I use for gel liners (they’re waterproof).

How often do I have to clean my brushes?

It depends on how often do you use your brushes. I have few foundation/blush/angled/eyeshadow brushes so I never clean them immediately after I use them. I usually clean them once in two weeks or so. I do clean my sponge applicators after each use.

How do I dry my brushes?

After I wash them, I put them horizontally on a towel and let them dry completely. Don’t put them vertically because the water will get into brush handle which will cause the hair to fall out.

What will you do when no inquiry

We all know that we will not get inquiries or orders every day, so what will you do when no inquiry? Just pass time in front of computer? Or chat with colleagues or friends? Or clean your office and files......

As the sales in a makeup brush factory, when no inquiry, I will do the following things:

1.       Classify the previous inquiries and emails. I usually input all my inquiries in an excel sheet, when I have time, I will check all previous inquiries and see if any one need follow up. For the emails, I will classify them by customers, put all completed emails into individual group, just leave the uncompleted or need follow up emails.

2.       Update the website; I have explained the importance of frequently update website. When no inquiry, I will browse our website to check if any wrong words or sentence, or write some articles according to my actual experience and feeling on makeup brushes.

3.       Go to the workshop to check if the makeup brushes meet all requirements from customers. As for custom makeup brushes, the customers have its own unique requirement on brushes, it is easy for the workers to make mistakes, so the customers may not get required brushes. Therefore, the sales should try best to go to the workshops and ensure the brushes to be qualified. We should timely and frequently communicate with the workers and ensure them totally and completely understand customer requirements.

4.       Learn the makeup brush knowledge as much as possible. Although I have been in makeup brush industry for many years, I still know that I am not perfect and need improvement, so learning is essential for the sales no matter which industry you are involved in.

As the sales, we should seize any time we have to perfect ourselves, even if without inquiries or orders, we should take full use of our time instead of waste such precious period. Only when we are professional enough, our customers can trust us and be happy to cooperate with us.

Wedding Makeup

Have you thought about a million times … You and your new spouse, hug, beaming with joy, flashing bulbs, slapping his hand … wedding day. You have so much time (and money) to elect the perfect wedding dress, bridesmaid’s dresses perfectly, the perfect hairstyle and veil, but I think a wedding makeup? You want the best picture ever in my life on their wedding day. Here are some tips to help you get there.
A Moisturizer and Foundation
On the first day, not before marriage, beach volleyball! Tan Lines, sunburn and peeling of a woman’s worst nightmare! If you think a little bit of dough, try the light self-tanner on your face and skin tinted moisturizer for a fresh look with bronzing powder to warm your complexion. Choosing a moisturizer and foundation, it must be remembered that the yellow colors work best with flash.
Composition of the Lens
Do not forget that the composition of the lens of choice for everyone! Avoid makeup, dirt and colors for a charming effect, stress, or foam. These articles and the index set for the front, light, beautifully polished to a scene from the movie! Satin photo better because it does not flash on the camera screen. Set your eyes, a soft brush to dust loose is a great touch, not agglomerated powder, scouring pads or pillows, because they can not cope with powder, butter and looking chalky.
Keep Your Look Fresh and Natural
Eye……….Avoid “trendy “and select the contours and natural colors highlighted with black eyeliner, brown or blue to give a timeless look for wedding pictures that will last for years. Your eyeliner smudges and blends for look. For softer, more natural eyelashes, The first and use the eyelash extensions eyelash wipe, and then one or two coats of mascara waterproof Lash lengthening. Keep your lashes without clumps of certainty that the first part of the ink to dry completely before applying the seed and see if all the cilia attached to divorce. Avoid excessive mascara, as is often the smaller eye shadow on her cheeks.
Front…Empty or too jerky “Eyebrow Pencil in good quality and use of gel or powder brow, at the end of the clock. Try to use the edge of the eyebrow and sweeps in the” fur “is intended to fill-ins. No heavy eye shadow or eyeliner to define your eyebrows use these things are really designed for heavy bags or it may seem natural.
Just for fun ……. Pink, peach and pink shades an excellent choice. Again, in order to avoid labeling or polishing powder or cream, because they can not cope in the picture is looking bright. Remember to wipe the forehead, nose, chin and breast check. This is ideal for oily skin and normal powder blush, cream blush, and works well for dry skin.
Mouth…..Select an area a bit darker than the lipstick. Always Lip Pencil to the natural lip line lip. Create luscious lips with color, as opposed to the extension beyond the line of natural lip line, “about” mouth on the cover gives you a clown in the mouth! Avoid too boring colors or neutral, because it may allow you to view your photos of plants.
Finally, keep your face fresh throughout the day with a little touch here and there, especially for big photo shoot. And do not be afraid to ask the photographer for a quick check-in person before painting. There is nothing worse than a layer of ink on the photographs after the ceremony! Clean, of course, creates a “fuzzy” look to give a portrait of a happy marriage for many years.

Buy high quality makeup brushes for your cosmetics

Some ladies may pay a lot of money to buy very high grade and expensive cosmetics, but not willing to pay much for makeup brushes. In their opinion, makeup brush is just a tool, it is not so important for the makeup.

It is really a misunderstanding; any professional makeup artist will tell you that makeup brush is much more important than cosmetics itself! Yes, good cosmetics can make you look more elegant and beautiful, but if without makeup brushes, how can these beautiful cosmetics come to your face?

A bad makeup brush will destroy your face even if you buy the best cosmetics, as the bad makeup brushes may have poor capacity to hold powders; some may loose bristles badly; some may be too stiff for your skin; some may not so clean and cause your skin problem…..With these bad makeup brushes, it is impossible to have a perfect makeup even if you have good cosmetics in hand.

Also, the bad makeup brushes may become useless due to the poor quality; you have to frequently desert them which cause waste and pollution. But you can use the good makeup brushes for tens years, and they are still great like you buy them just now!

So, why not buy a high grade makeup brush set for yourselves? If you can not afford the cost of both high grade cosmetics and brushes, you should firstly choose high grade brushes rather than cosmetics, just save some money on cosmetics! The good makeup brushes will make you perfect even with common cosmetics.

Physical Grooming

The logo document during custom makeup brush

During custom makeup brushes, customers usually require to the makeup brush manufacturer to print their own logo on the brush handles and brush rolls. At this case, customers should send their logo document to the manufacturer so that they can ensure the correct printing of logo.

Some may ask: I have sent our previous samples which have logo printed on the handles to the suppliers, why they still ask for the logo document? Since they are professional makeup brush manufacturer, why they can not print just according to the real samples?

I should explain like this: you see a paper which includes characters and images, now you have this paper in hand, but can you ensure you can exact copy that paper, and ensure that the paper you copied is totally the same as the original one? The characters and images in the copied paper are also in the same place and with the same shape as the original one? I believe no one even the professional painter can 100% promise this.

It is the same situation for the logo printing, although we have had the real sample in hand, but some logo may contains characters and images, we can not ensure 100% copy them just by our eyes. Even if we can take the pictures by camera, it will not be the totally same as original one after printing on brush handles and rolls.

Therefore, if you would like to custom makeup brushes from a factory, and have had your logo designed, please send your logo documents to your suppliers when or before you place orders to them, so that the suppliers can ensure prompt production.

If the order quantity can not reach MOQ

As the makeup brush manufacturer, we come into contact with various customers, big or small customers, professional or green hand, potential or impossible customers……Some may finally place orders to us, some may not; some may order large quantity, some may just place trial orders; some order quantity can reach our MOQ requirement, while some is far away from the MOQ….

What shall we do if the customer order quantity can not reach the MOQ? Just give up this customer and order? But we really pay a lot of time and efforts to win the customer; it is really a pity to give up so easily.

If the order quantity is not so far away from the MOQ, we should try our best to do the order. For example, if our MOQ is 1000pcs, but the order quantity is 800pcs or even 600pcs, we should find a way to manufacture for our customers. Especially for the first cooperation, we can understand that customers will not place orders with large quantity since they can not ensure the quality of the makeup brushes or our service. Therefore, they may place an order with small quantity which in fact is a trial order. Once if they are satisfied with our brushes, large orders may follow. Therefore, as the makeup brush manufacturer, we should try best to offer brushes for such customers even their initial order quantity can not reach our MOQ.

While if the order quantity is too far away from the MOQ, it will be a great loss for us to accept the order. For example, our MOQ is 1000pcs, but customer only orders 100pcs or even 50pcs. While we have to order material for 1000pcs which is the MOQ of our material suppliers, so if customers will have no further orders, we should afford such lost by ourselves, it is really unwise to accept such orders.

Of course, some makeup brush manufactures will accept the order but with extremely high price, as they must share the possible lost to each brush, for example the unit price for 1000pcs may be just USD1.0, but for 100pcs, may become USD3.0 or more.

If we can, we will certainly try best to win any order from customers, but as a company, we will not do any business which will cause a loss.

Patiently treat every customer and inquiry

We may get many inquires from different customers everyday, some of them are professional who can come to the point immediately and let you understand what kind of question they need you to handle; while some are not so professional or even the green hand in the makeup brush industry, and their question may make you puzzled and crazy, sometimes they even do not know what question they have and what kind of brushes they need, but just would like to get your suggestion and help.

We believe every makeup brush manufacturer is happy to communicate with the professional customers, as such communication is effective and prompt, also have more opportunities to get orders from these customers. While for the unprofessional customers, it will need a long time to help them get known this industry, and even a longer time to get real orders from them. Some customers may transfer to other suppliers once after becoming professional, that is, all your previous efforts become irrevocably lost. Therefore, many makeup brush suppliers do not pay much attention on the inquiries from unprofessional customers.

However, all professionals are transformed from the unprofessional. Only after our customers become professional, we can ensure our future communication to be effective and prompt. If customers get patient and valued information and suggestion from us, even if they do not place the first order from us, they will give us orders sooner or later, what we need is just be patient to our all potential customers.

God love industrious people, as long as we have tried our best and showed our enthusiasm, we can get what we deserved.

Therefore, as professional salesmen, we should pay attention to every customer no matter if they are professional or not. If we keep treating each customer and inquiry as potential, they will finally become our real customers.

Makeup for you

There are those who would not be dead in public without makeup, and then there are those who refuse to wear makeup and those people are by nature, not from look.
Some informed me that they want their skin to breathe. Now, do not worry! Many of the skin on the body, leaving the rest of the breath to do it! Do you keep your skin in the middle and did not suffer as long as you make sure that clean at the end of the day. But really, you can search for natural makeup. In this way you can clean, speed and capacity weaknesses that (and probably you!) do not like for a basic lesson on how fresh and natural.
Natural Makeup Techniques
We expect that the base (base), congealers, powders and go to now in part 2, how to apply make-up eyes and lips. In the case, make-up on the term “less is more” certainly does not apply if you live in the city at night, is different – bright eye shadow, mascara and glitter Lippi. You can be a bit more of a foundation, an excellent and said that “paint” your masterpiece! But the day when you are at work, at home or take that look like Coco Clown stores!
Sunscreen for Oily Skins
You can see a lot of real-aging makeup. Let’s start with your face really clean. On this day, use sunscreen to block lotion. If your skin is oily use a non-greasy when it is completely dry, lip balm and sunscreen use in one. Make-up is a base (or foundation) in many forms of liquid adhesive cream, etc. It basically involves the selection, although a stick or a “solid” floor is generally better and the things which seems to be almost completely cut out the cores. Cover the lighter base fluid and natural look.
Oil-Free Liquids for Dry Skins
If your skin is oily, dry and compact base at work, or opt for a liquid oil-free. Dry skin cream base, “Tau” wet look. Make sure you choose the base color of the skin as close as possible. Do not look for their black base tan bronzing powders are, above all of creation. Go outside the store when choosing colors and making sure they look good in natural light. It is best packed in your test by replacing the sod for wrist.

Sun Protection with Antibacterial Additives
Don base make-up of the supermarket to buy, you will not be able to try it! Markers for a natural look, you can cover the spots and veins on concealed without foundation heavy roof for use against love. Correctors can be in various forms, but they’re working all the same. You can use the built-in sun protection and also with antibacterial additives if you wish. Try to get a little lighter than that of the skin. Dab concealed to the desired range. Do not rub hard or melt into the pores. Make sure it is well mixed, and it has no “tide marks”.
Damp Sponge Foot of the Face
Well, at the foot of the face. Do you clean? Do not use too much at first, you can always add more. Mix well. Some artists use a damp sponge, but the fingers just as well. Remember to put a hairline in the human hand, especially around the nose and jaw line. But not stopping jaw, face like a mask. Mixture of anything so far in front of your neck, you have make-up is optional collar.
Bringing a New Look
Powder surface, but I would use it as a ‘set’ make-up and takes a lot of oil. Press powder on contact, or if you prefer a powder brush. After a few minutes, brush the powder with the movements of the past. To apply blush Light on apple cheeks and brush to the temples. Not a lot of brush, you can always go. If you use a rouge cream, apply it before eating. Dot the apple cheek and blend into the temple. Mix well! Now my special tip is Moist cold front plate (not wet) on the face and gently. That is the whole person, bringing a new look – wonderful!

The importance of brush samples

If you would like to custom makeup brushes, you must have clear ideas on the design, color, size, material etc in your mind, and certainly you will express such ideas to your makeup brush factory, while sometimes verbal description do have misunderstanding, so you may not be able to get the exact brushes you want! To avoid such situation, you must require sample confirmation first from the factory. That is, the factory should firstly make some samples according to your detailed requirements during communication, and only after getting your confirmation, the factory can do the mass production. If you have placed orders to the factory, they usually will not charge sample fees; while if no orders, they will charge some sample fees, as making samples is much difficult and expensive than mass production, so usually they will not make samples for you free if having no orders. But please remember to require them to refund such fee back to you if you place orders to them in future.

That is, in the situation of custom makeup brushes, since customer really has no real sample in hand, it is the factory or supplier who should offer samples for confirmation.

While if you have taken a fancy to a certain type of brushes, and would like to get exact copy from the makeup brush manufacturer, it will be best if you can send samples to the manufacturer. For example, if you like a Sigma brush very much and would like to buy the same brush just with different logo directly from the manufacturer at much lower price, you should firstly buy/source the brush from sigma and then send the brush to the manufacturer for exact copy. Of course, you may have many pictures for the brushes, but pictures can not represent real object, so it will save a lot of time if you can offer real samples, otherwise, the manufacturer have to make samples first and then send to you for confirmation, that will waste a lot of time!

That is, in the situation of buying existing makeup brushes, to save time and money, it is the customers who should offer samples to manufacturer.

In a word, no matter custom makeup brushes or existing brushes, samples are essential before mass production.

mineral makeup samples

If you have never tried mineral products you may be hesitant to buy a full product at first. Well you should consider trying a sample of the product to see how it works with your skin and skin care regiment. All the brands do differ from one another so you should try a few different ones to see what you like the best.
You should do a little research on the mineral makeup companies and read about there mineral products specifically. See what they use in there products and what they offer in mineral products. You want to choose a company that will offer everything you want to use for your face. This will ensure that all the products will bond and work together when all applied on your face. If you choose to go with two different companies they products may not work together and your skin could get irritated. You want to try and avoid any unnecessary roughness on your skin.

So once you have looked at some companies and have a few that you are interested in you can do a few things. If it is a company where you can have a beauty consultant you should search for a consultant near you. Then contact them and tell them what you are interested in and they can send you the samples or meet with you and discuss what you are looking for and ensure that they are giving you the perfect product to try for what you are looking for. If the company does not have consultants then it would be best to check their website. You should first look on the site for samples. If you cannot find anything on the site then you should email them and inquire how you can obtain a sample of their product. You will more then likely get a speedy response; they will want you as a customer if you took the time to send them a message.
Trying samples will give you a hands on experience of the product and can help you a great idea in choosing the perfect product for yourself.

The margin of Chinese makeup brush factory

I once asked some coterie in makeup brushes about their profit situation, and most of them told me that their gross profit is less than 30%, and the net profit is just about 10% after deducting the labor cost and other cost. Maybe some of them did not tell the truth, but per my own experience as a makeup brush manufacturer, it is almost the truth.

You may ask: since the profit is so low, why the makeup brush factory still accepts? In fact we have no other choice, if we refuse, we will have no margin. If we refuse, our competitors will try to win the orders.

Now, most customers will send inquiry to many Chinese makeup brush suppliers before placing orders, so to get more chances, many suppliers will quote price as low as they can despite of the low margin, as they know that if they quote price even a little higher, they will loose the chance for ever. In other words, the low margin is caused by the Chinese suppliers themselves, if without such bad competition on price, all Chinese suppliers may get higher profit, such vicious competition directly cause the general low margin of the Chinese makeup brushes. The only winner is the customers who buy brushes at very low price but sell at high price in their country; some selling price may be 100 times of the buying price!

While it really exists certain risks if customers only pay attention to price during custom makeup brushes. As there are some bad suppliers in China, they attract customers by low price, and declare that they will offer good quality brushes, while during production, they use bad or adulterate material which is not worth such price.

Use e-shop to promote your makeup brush business

During communication with customers, we often face such situation: the customers would like to firstly get samples for evaluation, while sometimes for the makeup brush factory, it is really troublesome to make samples, especially some special makeup brushes, the material supplier may not agree to make samples for us, then what shall we do? Just give up such opportunity? No people would like to give up the chance, then how to handle the problem?

For the custom makeup brushes, we have no alternatives but try best to persuade our material supplier to make samples for us, as the customized brushes are very special and we have no similar brushes to send customers for evaluation.

While for some common brushes, if we have no material in stock to make the samples, we can search on some famous e-shop website to see if there are such brushes which are the same as the required ones. For example, if customers would like to check the ecotools brush sets, it is easy to find them on Taobao. In fact, the sellers on Taobao also order these brushes from the makeup brush manufacturer; they just buy in advance and then stock the brushes. They must have many stocks in order to offer prompt delivery.

Therefore, if customers need samples, we can firstly buy from Taobao and send the sample for customer confirmation, if ok, we can buy another same sample and manufacture accordingly. It will not only save money for customers and factory but also save time. To make samples, the makeup brush factory may take 7 days, while buying from Taobao, it just needs about 3 days.

Of course, the most importance is that we must buy good brush samples from credible sellers, if the samples are not good enough, we may loose the chance to establish relationship with our customers.

The Wire-drawing of makeup brush ferrule

Recently, one of our customers sent us emails to inquiry about the makeup brushes whose ferrule is made by wire drawing instead of extrusion. He would like to know more information on such process. Although we have sent him detailed information, we believe it will be better to share this information here, so that everyone who visits our website can know it better.

 

Then what is wire drawing:

Wire drawing is a metalworking process used to reduce the cross-section of a wire by pulling the wire through a single or series of drawing die(s). There are many applications for wire drawing, including electrical wiring, cables, tension-loaded structural components, springs, paper clips, spokes for wheels, and stringed musical instruments. Although similar in process, drawing is different from extrusion, because in drawing the wire is pulled, rather than pushed, through the die. Drawing is usually performed at room temperature, thus classified as a cold working process, but it may be performed at elevated temperatures for large wires to reduce forces. More recently drawing has been used with molten glass to produce high quality optical fibers

 

The benefit of wire drawing:

The wire drawing can cover the machine mark and defects of matched molds during production; it can make the metal surface look more shinning and beautiful.

 

As professional makeup brush factory, we can manufacture makeup brushes with wire-drawing ferrules according to customer requirements.

 

While if customers would like wire-drawing ferrules during custom makeup brushes, it will requires higher MOQ, for example, if the original MOQ is 500pcs, if customers require wire-drawing, the MOQ will be 1000pcs.

Makeup brush set is more popular than individual brush

Once if you are involved in makeup brush industry, you must know that makeup brush set is much more popular than individual brush. Although the brush set is composed of individual brushes, customers always prefer a set which includes essential brushes and the bags.

The brush set is loved by both makeup new learners and professional artists. For the new learner, the makeup brush manufacturer will offer the brush sets which just include essential brushes like powder brush, eye brush, lip brush and foundation brush, these brushes are enough for a new learner, also the brush sets are usually equipped with cute brush bags, which can not only protect the brushes from dust & pollution but also easy for take.  

The makeup artists also prefer makeup brush set, as the professional brush set will include all kinds of brushes for the artists. These brushes are designed for different usage on different face position. Some may reach 40pcs or more per set, which will help the artists to create a perfect makeup. All these brushes can be put in one brush roll, the artists just need to put the roll in their bags or just fasten the roll on the waist.

While if you put 40pcs brushes without brush roll into the bags, it will be difficult to find the proper brush once you need them, also your bag must be a mess, and your brushes will be full of dust within your bag. It will be a disaster to take so many brushes during travel.

Also buy a brush set will be cheaper than by individual brushes, it is easy to understand.

Therefore, users prefer brush set to individual brush, and the manufacturers put more attention on the brush set to develop more and attractive style of makeup brush sets.

No excuse or cheat during business

Everyone knows that credit is the most important during business especially the international business. If the suppliers and buyers are in the same location, the can solve some problems face to face, while for international business, the buyers and sellers may complete many orders even if they never see each other. It requires more on the credit of both sides especially the suppliers.

The credit covers all aspects of business. At the very beginning of inquiry, the buyers would like to cooperate directly with the makeup brush factory, while some trading companies will pretend to be a factory to gain the customer trust; during quotation, customer would like to custom makeup brushes with high quality, but some bad suppliers mix some inferior material into the good material; on the promised delivery date, the suppliers can not finish the production and deliver as promised……..

In fact, everyone can understand that there exist uncontrollable things during makeup brush production. At this time, the suppliers should communicate with customers immediately to tell them the reasons and results; for example, the customers order 5000 brush sets, while during production, 500pcs is not qualified which must be reworked, it will certainly delay the delivery time, at this time, suppliers should honestly explain all issues to customers and let customers know you just would like to send them qualified brushes, so the delivery has to be delayed. I believe the customers can understand this.

Once something happened, it is very bad to make any excuse, as the customers have been in the business for many years, they know the truth. It will be better to tell the truth and resolve the problem together.

women prefer the most expensive makeup brands!

If women could do what they wanted, they would only buy the most expensive skincare products and cosmetics. And this, although "only" 29% trust high-priced products. Instead, nearly half the women choose their makeup brands "quite rationally" according to the active substances and ingredients.
A survey with more than 13,000 female consumers confirmed in a word-of-mouth and recommendation platform that the theme "cosmetics" is everything else but a rational matter for women. On the contrary, there is a very wide gap between desire and rationale. 


Those who wish to categorise women with respect to cosmetic issues will not have an easy job doing so. In the majority of cases, the discrepancy between their wishes and reality is simply too great. "Only the best is good enough for me" or "the ingredients are the most important, not the price".  Most women tend to shift between these two attitudes. They argue this way and that according to the survey. The positive effect for the beauty brands: possibilities always exist to inspire new customers to use a brand or product – both in terms of rationale and emotionality. 



Consumers purchase skincare and body care products in all categories


Women with low budgets also treat themselves to a luxury purchase now and again as the survey shows among more than 13, 000 female consumers between the ages of 18 and 63. The interviewees stated that they bought drugstore brands (93%), pharmacy brands (72%), natural cosmetics (71%) as well as prestige brands (68%). About 60% of those questioned admitted they would "always buy the most expensive cosmetics" if there were "no limits on their budget". 



Criteria for the purchase decision


49% of the women make their purchase decision based on the active substances and ingredients. About 29% make their decision dependent on the price. In keeping with the motto "nothing comes from nothing", they favour prestige brands and trust in higher product performance. On the other hand, 46% of those questioned assume that an expensive prestige brand probably distinguishes itself from less expensive products more in the usage than in the effect.

Internet gains increasing importance in the cosmetics area


Women increasingly seek information about beauty products and brands in the Internet, in evaluation portals such as Ciao, Dooyoo and Yopi (19%), womens platforms (14%) and beauty blogs (5%). Womens magazines continue to be in high demand (21%) as an important source of information in cosmetic matters. 


Why customers do not disclose his target price

At the very beginning of inquiry, the sales in the makeup brush factory will always ask customers about the target price, while, seldom customers can offer such information even if they really have a target price in their heart.

So, since they do have target price, why not tell the makeup brush factory? After knowing the target price, the factory can know the exact quality level and quote the required brushes. We believe that may because the customers do not trust us, if we know the target price, the customers may get higher price. For example, the customers’ target price is USD5.0, some suppliers will quote USD4.9 which is very close to the target price, but if without target price, they may just quote USD4.0 for the same quality level. That is the main reason.

The second reason is: customers do not want the target price show the quality level. For example, the customers would like to have brushes equal to MAC brushes, but have very low target price. If they tell suppliers the target price, it is impossible to get MAC equal brushes; the suppliers must quote according the target price.

We really understand such thought, while it is really unnecessary and customers worry too much. In fact, we know customers will not send inquiry only to one supplier since there are so many suppliers in China, and if we want to get the chance, we have to try best to quote the best price under the target price. Only with competitive price, we can get more opportunities to take the orders.

Also, what you pay, what you get. With very low target price, it is impossible to get high quality brushes no matter where you buy. If you really think you get MAC brushes at very low price, be careful of the quality, it must be fakes. As high quality brushes requires a lot on craft and must with the best material, which is undoubtedly very expensive.

Therefore, if customers do have target price for the makeup brushes, please kindly let us know, so that we can quote you proper brushes with proper quality level.

The importance of a good supplier

These days, I am really tortured by our suppliers; we buy the bristles of makeup brushes from them, but they keeps going wrong. For example, we order BJF goat hair with them, and their promised delivery date is on July 7^th, while on July 7^th, we did not receive any package and have no way to contact with the suppliers! Finally, the package comes on July 11^th, but after unpacking, it is not BJF goat hair but HJF! It is really crazy!

Although it is not easy to change the suppliers, after so many accidents, we finally decide to try new suppliers. Otherwise, our business will be destroyed by them. Their mistakes will destroy our credits.

Some irresponsible suppliers can really make you crazy. For example, they really know your order requirement on the makeup brushes, like top grade goat hair, copper ferrule etc, while as the delivery date is coming, they can not ship in time, so without any notice, they change the material or the whole brushes, they deliver their existing brushes instead of the brushes you order to you….. It is really the worst action!

If unfortunately you met such suppliers, please do not hesitate to stop cooperation with them, otherwise, they will ruin your company sooner or later.

After suffering this, we really know our importance to our customers; they undertake so many risks to give their orders to us just want to get satisfied products. We, as responsible manufacturers, should and must try our best to offer the satisfied products as promised on promised date.

The inquiry quality of makeup brushes

Due to the “low price and good quality” of Chinese makeup brushes, the Chinese makeup brush manufacturers may receive inquiries every day from customers who would like to wholesale or custom makeup brushes. While the situation is: they may receive more than 100 enquiries every month, but only one or no order. That is, the Transaction Rate is less than 1%!

I, as a sale in a makeup brush factory for more than 5 years, list the following possible reasons per my experience:

1.       The customers have no real need but just would like to know the price level in Chinese market or know other professional information on makeup brushes. For example, I once received a customer inquiry on goat hair; he would like to know the difference between BJF and HJF goat hair, through his emails, I can feel that he just would like to get this information, and as expected, after getting enough information from me, he disappeared and not reply email any more. That is understandable, many customers may just step into the makeup brush industry and need information as much as they can, they may place orders 2-3 years later to you or other suppliers.

2.        The customers are frightened by your price. That may not only because your price is too high, but also may be too low. Many international customers do not trust products quality made in china, they are afraid of poor quality. So if our quoted price is so low which is far away from their imagination, they may worry about the quality. An individual makeup brush sold in Europe may about USD10.0, but the Chinese suppliers just quote USD0.5, they do not believe the quality will be the same. Although we promise the quality is really the same, the customers still doubted and will not place orders to us immediately.

3.       The customers can not accept the MOQ requirement. Almost every makeup brush manufacturer has its MOQ requirement according to the brush type. While it is known that many makeup brush customers are SOHO or small shops, it is really hard and risky for them to order over 1000pcs at a time, which is also a main reason why many customers not place orders immediately.

4.       The customers may just order brushes from another suppliers, so will not order from us until the current quantity is sold or consumed. The customers do send inquiry to us, maybe because they are not so satisfied with the current suppliers, so would like to source a new supplier, while due to some reason, they just buy brushes from the current suppliers, so they will not buy new brushes until the existing ones are sold.

I know the above reasons do not include all potential reasons why customers not place orders immediately. There are many other reasons. If you like, please contact me and let me know the reasons you think, so that we can help each other to gain more orders.

Sell makeup brushes on taobao

Almost all Chinese know Taobao which is a Shop on-line platform for buyers and sellers, just like eBay. Now due to the popularity of Taobao, many factories and manufacturers join this platform to gain more business and profits.

After reviewing the makeup brush suppliers on Taobao, we find that the makeup brush factory will have great advantages on price and quality. It is easy to understand that the factory can offer factory direct price, and can directly control the quality. Therefore, if the factories sell brushes on Taobao, they will certainly get more opportunities.

Also, selling brushes on Taobao can really gain much more profits. For example, the cost of a makeup brush set may just ￥4.0, the selling price may be ￥60.0. That is because there is no quantity limit or MOQ on Taobao, the buyers may just need one set, so they can understand they have to pay higher price.

Therefore, comparing to traditional batch orders, the manufacturers can really gain much more profits. But it does have disadvantages. The sellers on Taobao undertake more risks. In order to deliver brushes once the buyers submit buying requirement, they have to stock enough quantity in advance, if the stocked items are not popular and less buyer like them, the sellers have to afford the cost by themselves. Also, to get higher ranks during so many competitors, they may need to pay Taobao some fees to get better service, for example, the sellers on taobao mall may need to pay ￥30000 to taobao, which can show their credit and quality to buyers. The total amount of taobao mall fee and the inventory cost may reach ￥300,000, which is unaffordable for many factories. While for traditional batch orders, no such problem, the makeup brush factory will not start production until get certain orders from customers.

Thus, if have enough funds, it will be a good choice for makeup brush factory to sell brushes on Taobao mall.

Why the makeup brush manufacturer has MOQ requirement

Some customers may wonder: since the makeup brush is a manual work, why has MOQ requirement? It should be the same for manual to make 1pcs and 10000pcs.

We should explain that, the reason to have MOQ is mostly due to the material. The makeup brush is manual work, but the material production is not, for example, the production of bristles, ferrules and handles is mechanized, so the material suppliers have MOQ requirement on the material.

Take bristles for example, the MOQ of the bristles is usually 5KG which can make thousands of brushes, so the makeup brush manufacturer has to make the MOQ of the brushes to be 1000pcs or more, otherwise the unused bristles may be wasted if no other customer needs the same bristles. The situation is the same for handles. Also, the painting on handles, the quantity in one painting may be 2000pcs, so if only 500pcs, the painting fee is the same as 2000pcs, it will increase the unit cost of the brushes.

Of course, if customers would like to accept higher price, it is totally ok for us to make any quantity. For example, the MOQ of a makeup brush is 1200pcs at USD1.0, while customers only need 500pcs or less, we have to recalculate the cost and requote, as the risks of “wasted” bristles should be afford by customers, so the unit price may become USD2.0 or more. If customers can accept such price, we are no problem to make 500pcs for them.

We know that many of our customers are not big factories; they may be the makeup artists who have a makeup studio, or the traders who are doing makeup brushes in their location. It is hard for them to order large quantity at one time. We really appreciate any chance to cooperate with any customers.

Therefore, during custom makeup brushes, it is better to let us know the quantity you need and your target price, so that we can know your exact target and act more quickly.

When customer says your price is too high

During quotation, we often face such question from the customer: your price is too high! Strictly speaking, customer with such feedback is not a kind of REFUSE but maybe a positive signal. He has such feedback may because in his opinion, he has accepted all other issues except of the “high” price.

Then how should we deal with such situation?

1.       We should show our understanding on customers, just as us, the customers also want to get profits as much as possible. It is understandable that they need lower price;

2.       We should tell the customers of our advantages, it is known that price is not the only standard to evaluate a good makeup brush manufacturer or supplier. We should specify our advantages on high level service and good quality makeup brushes;

3.       We should ask customer why they think the price is high, if they compare the price with the makeup brushes with the same quality grade, with the same material. It is known that the price of makeup brushes with different material will vary a lot.

4.       If we really have space to reduce the price, remember do not just reduce the price without change any other terms. For example, we can agree to reduce the price on condition that increase the MOQ or prolong the lead time, it can also show our strict quotation system.

Both the makeup brush suppliers and customers want to get more profit via the cooperation, of course the suppliers should give customers the best price, while it should be under the premise of protection of their own interests. A good business should achieve win-win situation.

The importance of trading company to makeup brush manufacturer

All makeup brush manufacturers are eager to establish relationship directly with the end customers like MAC, Lancôme, and BB etc. It is understandable, as they can get more profits than through the trading companies or distributors.

While for some small and inexperience Chinese makeup brush factories, it will be better to sell their makeup brushes through trading companies. The main reason is as following:

1.       The language: for some small factory, they have no ability to employ experienced staff who know English well, which may cause misunderstanding on customer requirements during custom makeup brushes and then cause complaints or conflicts; while many trading companies have experienced staffs who are good at English or other languages, they can better understand customer requirements and express to the factory in local language, therefore, the factory can make the exact brushes according to customer requirements;

2.       the location culture: for example, the factory locates in China while the customer locates in Europe, due to the culture difference, even if they know the meaning of each other, sometimes they can not understand each other and may think the other side is ridiculous and crazy; while the trading companies, have been in international business for many years and with so many countries, they know the thoughts and habits of every country, so that they can get smooth communication with the customers;

3.       the market development: if the trading company locates in the area of the target market, it will be better for market development, they know the exact demand and market situation in that area and can exploit the market accordingly, it is the advantages which the factory can not compete and will greatly help the market development for the makeup brush factory.

4.       The risk taking: doing business with trading companies will reduce the risk of the factory, the factory just need to get payment, arrange production and send brushes to the trading company. They get payment directly from the trading company in their area, it reduces the payment risks; they only need to send shipment to the trading company, it reduces the shipment risks….

The above mentioned trading company is just a generic, it includes the trading company, the distributor, the SOHO etc, as long as they are not the end customer or factory, we can call them trading company.

Of course, if the makeup brush factory is large enough and experienced enough, it is surly better to do business directly with the end customers, after all, they can get more profits.
