Makeup brush handle/ferrule process: matt or shiny

Color choice is one of the most important issue during customization makeup brushes. Customers can choose hair/ferrule/handle colors through http://www.cal-print.com/InkColorChart.htm  and tell the makeup brush factory of the pantone color code. 

However, for ferrules and handles, the surface process is also very important. As the surface process makes the color to be shiny or matt. For example, although customers require black handle, the black handle can be shiny black, matt black, 30% shiny level,100% shiny.... If customers are not sure about the exact surface process, it is the best to send the physical samples of the makeup brushes they want to the makeup brush factory for exact copy.

Many customers prefer matt color due to the elegant appearance. Not like shiny color which shows youth, enthusiasm and vigour, matt color reveals mature, noble and elegant. Therefore, many professional makeup artists choose makeup brushes with matt colors on ferrules and handles.

But customers should note that matt color will be easily polluted and scratched. Daily touch will make the matt handles dirty, and after some period, the matt color may become shiner due to daily touching by handles/fingers. It is not the quality problem, but the characteristics of matt color. Customers who care such issue should not choose matt color for their brushes.
