Makeup brush Material: Copper ferrule VS aluminum ferrule

From our previous articles, many customers may have known the difference between aluminum ferrule and copper ferrule ,i.e: the cost of copper ferrule is 4-5 times of aluminum ferrule. The hardness is 10 times of aluminum ferrule. Copper ferrule is thicker/heavier/brighter/durable than aluminum ferrule.

However, after plating oranodizing with difference colors, we may not distinguish them by brightness. The following is some tips to distinguish copper ferrule with aluminum ferrule:
1. Copper ferrule is much heavier than aluminum ferrule, with the same brush head and handle, we can obviously feel it by ourselves;
2. Copper ferrule is thicker than aluminum ferrule, enclosed pictures for your reference:

3. Some cheap aluminum ferrules will be easily scratched, copper ferrules will not.

So during customizing makeup brushes, shall we use copper ferrules or aluminum ferrules on our brushes? It depends on your budget and target market. Many luxurious brands only accept copper ferrule due to its brightness and luxurious, as they targets to top customers, so they use best materials for each part: top grade animal hair, copper ferrule, ebony handles. If your target market is middle/low market, it is really no necessary to pay extra cost on ferrules, use better hair material will be a better choice, after all, it is the most important part of the whole makeup brushes, and users can directly feel the quality by touching.
