The bronze powder on brush handles

These days, we are making some prototypes for a customer who would like to have brush handles in different color. Since the customer has not finalized the color they prefer, we can not buy paintings with each color which will be a huge cost. Therefore, to show customers the effect of each color, we spray some bronze powders instead on the brush handles and plan to send them to customers for confirmation.

 

While our ideas are obstructed once we send the prototypes. According to our local FedEx, the products with powders are not permitted to ship via air, unless the powders are certificated to be harmless. While the certification cost is too high and once the customer confirm the demand color, we will use painting on the brush handles instead of powder, so it is not worthwhile to do such certificate for so few prototypes. After communicating with customer on such situation, we have to give up such ideas and try to find out another option.

 

However, it does not mean that makeup brushes can not have powders on. To reach certain effect, during custom makeup brush, some customers will require some bronze powders on the brush handles. So the makeup brush manufacturers will mix the powders into the paintings and then do the painting on the handles. At this situation, the powders become a part of the painting, enter into the painting and will not fall down, so not need to do the certification.

 

As a professional makeup brush manufacturer, we always try our best to meet customers’ requirements, while sometimes we can not control everything. For example, we have to follow the instruction of the express company during shipment. So if customers plan to send us some samples or prototypes with bronze powders to show what kind of makeup brushes they need, please do remember to check with the local shipping company to confirm if it is ok, otherwise, even if the samples can be sent from shipper, the consignee may not be able to receive them due to their local regulation.
