Badger hair is too stiff for normal makeup brushes

Recently, we are keeping discussing a project with a customer who would like to customize makeup brushes with their own logo. They need powder brush, foundation brush, fan brush, blush brush, eye brushes and lip brushes. We have finalized the size and color of the hair, ferrule and handle, as well as the material of ferrule and handle.

However, during discussion the hair material, the customers insist that they need badger hair for all brushes. But per our experience, badger hair is too stiff for normal makeup brushes. It is usually used on shave brushes to apply shaving soap or shaving cream to the face when shaving.

If the badger hair the customer mentions is really natural badger hair, it should not be used on makeup brushes, the stiffness will hurt our skin, and its powder holding capacity is really bad. Since it can not help to apply makeup on our face, and also is so stiff, why we use it for our makeup brushes?

Anyway, since some customers like the appearance of badger hair, some makeup brush factories use synthetic hair to imitate badger hair. As it is in fact synthetic hair, it is very soft and will not hurt human skin, and also have certain capacity to hold powders. Such makeup brushes gain great preference of many users. So they believe that badger hair should be so great. They do not know that it is not badger hair but synthetic hair. That is why they insist on badger hair for all their brushes, but the makeup brush manufacturer can not agree with such thought.

Therefore, in case of any misunderstanding during communication and cognition, customers should send real samples to the makeup brush manufacturers to illustrate the material/size/color they need. When the manufacturers see the samples, they will know the exact requirements of customers.
