How to get samples

At the beginning of entering into the makeup brush industry, most customers do not know what kind of brushes they need, and how to distinguish different material or quality. Therefore, to be more professional in this area and to ensure that they will excellently communicate with the makeup brush manufacturers, some customers would like to check samples first.

To get samples, some may try to get them from the brush manufacturers. However, few manufacturers will offer free samples now, and even if some manufacturers can offer free samples, they will require customers to afford the shipping charge, which may be not acceptable for some customers. Although the cost to get samples through this way is high, the customers can get enough information to fully understand the makeup brush quality and material, as the manufacturers will list exact material of each part and let customers feel the difference by themselves.

To save the cost, some customers will choose to buy testable samples from local supplier, for example from EBay, which will have lower cost since the shipping charge is very low. However, customers may not get enough information from these samples from online. As most online suppliers will list the exact material of the makeup brushes, for example, for hair material, they may just indicate goat hair instead of exact hair grade. Since the goat hair has more than 20 grades, customers may be confused without knowing the exact material. If they test a sample with goat hair which is actually ZGF goat hair and like it very much, then they contact the makeup brush factory for quotation. However, they only say it is goat hair, manufacturers can not quote accordingly to such information, unless the customers can send the samples to them, which will cause high shipping charge.

Therefore, to save time and cost, if customers want to get some samples for testing and better understand brush quality and material, it is better to get the samples directly from the manufacturers.
