The material of kabuki brush

Just like other brush types, KABUKI brushes also have different grades.

The ferrule material is usually aluminum, few customer will choose copper ferrule for kabuki brushes. So the grade difference on ferrule is just the process quality, such as the brightness, color etc.

The material which will greatly affect the kabuki brush quality is the hair material. The most common material is curl nylon, it is cheap and soft, so is loved by most makeup artists or users; some may ask why use curl nylon instead of normal nylon? The reason is the curl nylon can create a chubby affect, which is the demand of kabuki brushes; if use normal straight nylon, it will not achieve such effect.

While some customers may not be able to accept the cost of curl nylon, and prefer cheaper material. That will be SQ goat hair or 2# or 10# goat hair, which will be a little cheaper than curl nylon, but the quality is not so good. It is known that SQ goat hair is the cheapest with poorest quality, it is somewhat stiff than higher grade goat hair. While due to cost consideration, some customers will also prefer SQ goat hair.

If customers would like to custom kabuki brushes with a little higher quality than curl nylon, that will be HJF or BJF goat hair. HJF and BJF goat hair is high grade goat hair and is the most popular hair material for high grade makeup brushes. If customers need much higher quality than curl nylon, the hair material can be ZGF goat hair which is the best goat material, while few customers can afford the high cost.

The hair material of top grade or the best kabuki brushes is squirrel hair or chinchilla hair, of course such kabuki brushes will be extremely expensive, and seldom customers will consider so expensive and top grade brushes.

Before custom makeup brushes, customers should well know their target market and have good communication with the makeup brush manufacturer, and choose brush grades according to the market, so that they can gain the biggest profit.
