Vibration Tests On Makeup Brush Packaging

 Vibrations will always occur during transportation. They can occur due to the surroundings (equipment on board of a plane, ship, or train, by wind or alike) or by the device itself, such as the vibration of engines. The actual level of vibration may be low at times, but because of oscillations as a result of resonance inside the device, the level of vibration may increase significantly. The oscillation may increase to 10-20 times the original level of vibration.


Any makeup brush manufacturer who export makeup brushes to oversea customers should consider package vibration tests. The makeup brushes and packaging go through simulated vibration tests to confirm the durability and firmness of both makeup brushes and packaging. Testing before shipping could save a lot of money on recalls if the packaging is later found to be defective.

Package testing and transport simulation testing are designed to simulate the types of vibrations that packages suffer from when they are boxed at the makeup brush factory until they reach the customer during handling, transportation, and shipping on a train, plane, or truck. If vibrations are too severe they could cause packages to become damaged by losing their integrity. Therefore,the vibration tests can be used to  discover if the makeup brush packaging is going to keep makeup brushes safe when being jostled around in, say, a truck, or whether they are going to come apart at the seams, and then determine the protective ability of the package when faced with the vibrations that take place during the distribution cycle.The primary purpose is to ensure that the makeup brush packaging will sufficiently protect the  makeup brushes and that the packaging itself can withstand the stress of transportation.

If you plan to custom makeup brushes from overseas makeup brush manufacturers, ensure the manufacturers will go through the vibration tests on makeup brushes and outer cartons. If the outer cartons are not strong enough and come apart during transportation, it will not only cause damage and deformation on makeup brushes, the makeup brushes may also drop from the cartons during shipment and cause the shortage of makeup brushes. Also, it will waste time and energy to handle the defective makeup brushes, no matter send back to the makeup brush manufacturers to rework or replace new makeup brushes.


To OEM makeup brushes and custom makeup brushes, it is better to work with professional makeup brush manufacturers with standard production and QC process, which will greatly support your brand development and business increase.

Makeup Brush Quality Control- UV Weathering Test

 Long term exposure to sunlight can cause photo-degradation of many different materials. The non-visible UV radiation with short wavelengths are responsible for much of the photo-degradation, a process that initially results in breaking down the surface molecular structure.This frequently not only results in a deterioration of the physical properties such as colour change or flaking, but also affect mechanical properties such as tensile and wear resistance.


For makeup brushes,especially with wooden handle, the surface painting may become yellow or discolor after certain period. To ensure the durability of makeup brushes, the makeup brush manufacturer should do the UV Weathering Test on the handles before they enter into assembly workshop.

UV Weathering testing is a laboratory simulation of the damaging forces of weather for the purposes of predicting the relative durability of materials exposed to outdoor environments. Makeup brush handle samples are placed in the UV chamber. Rain and dew systems are simulated by pressurized spray and condensation systems while damaging effects of sunlight are simulated by fluorescent UV lamps. The exposure temperature is automatically controlled. Cyclical weather conditions can also be simulated. UV tester can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors.

If there is any discolorations or yellowing on handles, the same batch handles need to be reworked till qualified.

Anyway, few makeup brushes  will be long -term exposed under sunlight,they are usually placed into the brush bag or drawer. So not all customers will require the makeup brush manufacturer to do UV Weathering Test. But to ensure the durability of makeup brushes, it will be better to do the test.

To OEM makeup brushes and custom makeup brushes, it is better to work with professional makeup brush manufacturers with standard production and QC process, which will greatly support your brand development and business increase.

Makeup Brush Quality Control- Temperature And Humidity Test On Handle And Glue

 Thanks to globalization, consumers can buy makeup brushes from worldwide makeup brush suppliers. The makeup brushes originally from Chinese makeup brush manufacturers can be sold to Africa and Europe where have big environment difference with China. Therefore, some makeup brushes may be qualified at the factory site, but when reach European consumers, the handle painting may be cracked under cold circumstance; when reach Africa consumers, the ferrule may be apart from handle due to the glue melt under hot temperature.


To ensure the durability of makeup brushes at different circumstances,makeup brush manufacturers should do Constant Temperature and Humidity Test before shipping.

Whether intended for indoor or outdoor use, makeup brushes may not survive exposure to extreme weather or conditions. Before shipping, makeup brush manufacturers should test the makeup brushes in all possible environments. Rather than waiting for different temperatures or humidity levels, we use a temperature humidity chamber simulates those effects.

Put the makeup brushes into the temperature and humidity chamber which is a test chamber that simulates long-term exposure to specific environments for brush handle and glue testing, and select the desired temperature and conditions from a digital display. Air that is hot or cold(-70℃~+150℃), humid or dry (20~98%R.H.) is then introduced into the chamber to meet those conditions. The chamber can quickly and accurately check makeup brush performance under different temperature and humidity, and determine how makeup brushes will hold up to years of exposure.

To OEM makeup brushes and custom makeup brushes, it is better to work with professional makeup brush manufacturers with standard production and QC process, which will greatly support your brand development and business increase.

Makeup Brush Quality Control- Salt Spray Test On Ferrule

 After some period of using, you may find that your makeup brush ferrule becomes rusty which is actually a kind of metal oxidation. It is really horrible for a beauty tool.


Although makeup brush ferrule is made of metal (aluminum or copper) with electroplated coating, qualified brushes should never have such problem. Before being assembled to makeup handle, the ferrules need to pass the salt spray test (or salt fog test).

The salt spray test is one of the most widespread and  standardized corrosion test method, used to check corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings. Usually, the materials to be tested are metallic and finished with a surface coating which is intended to provide a degree of corrosion protection to the underlying metal.

Salt spray testing is conducted in a closed testing chamber, it is in nature an accelerated corrosion test that produces a corrosive attack to coated samples in order to evaluate the suitability of the coating for use as a protective finish.  A salt water solution is applied to a sample via a spray nozzle. This dense salt water fog is used to imitate a corrosive experiment. Test duration depends on the corrosion resistance of the coating; generally, the more corrosion resistant the coating is, the longer the period of testing before the appearance of corrosion or rust.

If your makeup brush ferrules are rusty, it means that the makeup brush factory does not follow standard process, and omit the salt spray test step, maybe to save money, maybe they have no such testing machine. That is why they can offer lower price than other makeup brush manufacturers.

Kingyin has strict incoming inspection process on ferrules. Ferrules are placed on the salt spray test machine and subjected to calibrated amounts of salt for 24 hours. Only qualified ferrules can pass to our production lines.

To OEM makeup brushes and custom makeup brushes, it is better to work with professional makeup brush manufacturers with standard production and QC process, which will greatly support your brand development and business increase.

OEM Makeup Brushes From Makeup Brush Manufacturer

 OEM makeup brushes refers to a modern manufacturing method in which Customers provide makeup brush design and molds (for plastic handles), makeup brush Manufacturers supply manpower and space to produce the makeup brushes with Customers’ brands, and Customers finally sell the makeup brushes to consumers.


Makeup brush OEM manufactures have abundant and cheap labor force to manufacture and assemble makeup brushes for the international market. Many international cosmetics giants do not produce makeup brushes by themselves, but OEM makeup brushes from professional makeup brush manufacturers in China, Japan and Korea.

Most Chinese makeup brush manufacturers offer "OEM service"which refers to the ability and willingness to manufacture makeup brushes according to customers’ design.


Kingyin, as a professional Chinese makeup brush manufacturer, have been OEM makeup brushes for worldwide customers for more than 15 years. Here we list the The Pros and Cons of OEM makeup brushes for your reference:


The Pros:


1.Customers can freely design makeup brushes (as long as it is technically feasible).Brush handle, ferrule, hair, packaging, printing can all be designed to attract customers and fit brand positioning, which can greatly increase brand influence.

2.You own the Intellectual Property of the makeup brushes (as long as you protect it), no other brands can copy this makeup brush design, you have a monopoly on this makeup brush style, and then have the pricing power, which will increase the sales volume and margins on the makeup brushes.


The Cons:

1.You may need several months to do the makeup brush design, even if makeup brush structure is simple, to launch a popular makeup brushes, the designers have to do a lot of work to review and research on the makeup brush design

2.You may need to afford the molding cost for plastic handles, and the MOQ will be higher with plastic handles.

For a starter of makeup brush business with limited funds and design capacity, OEM makeup brushes may be not a good choice, the existing makeup brush styles from makeup brush manufacturers or the market can be the alternatives.

For cosmetics giants, the Cons can be ignored, as they have professional project team to design and promote the makeup brushes. They have millions order quantity, so the One-time molding cost is negligible after sharing to each brush.

Do yearly summary during Christmas holiday

 Now, most western customers are enjoying their Christmas holiday, but Chinese makeup brush manufacturers are still working even if there is few inquiry or email. Some internationals sales do not know what to do during such period.


The salesmen can do the yearly summary during the Christmas holiday. Before, we are too busy to evaluate all previous enquiries. Due to time limit, we pay more attention on the most potential customers, and just roughly reply or feedback the general inquiries. Most of us believe that even if we reply these general inquiries which are group sent to all Chinese makeup brush manufacturers or suppliers,it is impossible to win orders from them.

It is OK to use such strategy if we are too busy, but since we are so free now , why not try to reply these emails? Maybe you can get surprise from them. Some may ask: the customers are enjoying their holiday, will they check the emails? Well, email is not telephone, customers can open their emails once they are free, our emails will not be missed during the holiday. After the holiday, customers will see our emails. Emails will not cause any disturbance to their holiday time. Although it totally depends on customers’ decision, we should try our best to get the chance to make further progress.

Besides, we can make a excel table to include all inquiries in this year, no matter confirmed customers, potential customers or impossible customers. As long as we once get inquiries from them, we should input their information into a table to check the related data, such as the order rate, profit rate, advertisement effect etc. Such data will greatly help our plan in next year.

 
As a makeup brush marketing staff, we should not waste any time, use any chance to improve our sales volume and customers’ satisfaction; it is a good talent to strengthen ourselves through periodical summary especially at the end of the year.

How to soften makeup brushes

 After some period of using, your makeup brushes may get hard and scratchy if you don’t wash them enough.The dirt and bacteria from your face will add up on your makeup brushes, and the brushes become harder than it used to be.Using scratchy and hard makeup brushes can causes facial abrasions.  Facial abrasions are a type of open wound that is caused by the skin rubbing against a rough surface such as your hard makeup brushes. So you should keep makeup brushes soft.


By keeping your makeup brushes soft you can not only protect your skin from such wounds, but also preserve your makeup brush to make it  last much longer! Besides,soft makeup brushes ensure smooth makeup application for the appearance of a healthy complexion and a polished look.

The best way to keep your makeup brushes soft is by cleaning them. Another thing you can do is using conditioner to soften your makeup brushes.

The following is how to clean makeup brushes and soften makeup brushes with conditioner:


►Rinse your makeup brush for about one minute in a steady stream of warm water to wet all bristles. Use your fingertips to separate the bristles and to dissolve clumps, remove particles and loosen debris. Turn off the water source. Place the bristles between your thumb and index finger and apply light pressure to smooth them and to remove excess water.

►Wash your makeup brush for about one minute under a steady stream of warm water, using your fingertips to massage a dime-sized amount of foaming facial cleanser or shampoo into the bristles. Makeup brush cleaner also is an option. Rinse and repeat. Turn off the water source. Place the bristles between your thumb and index finger and apply light pressure to smooth them and to remove excess water. Shake the brush to remove more moisture.

►Apply a dime-sized amount of hair conditioner into the bristles, using your fingertips to distribute the solution evenly. Leave the conditioner on for about three minutes. Rinse and repeat the process to remove residue. Place the bristles between your thumb and index finger and apply light pressure to smooth them and to remove excess water. Shake the brush to remove more moisture.

►Fold a paper towel in half lengthwise and lay it across the palm of one hand. Use your other hand to tap the makeup brush bristles onto the paper towel to remove any remaining liquid. Lay the brush on a fresh paper towel to air-dry for approximately 30 minutes. After drying, you’ll find that your brushes are as soft as when you originally bought them!

 
Please note that :

1.when you use conditioner to soften your makeup brushes, you should avoid conditioners that are too oily.

2.Besides conditioner, you can also try baby shampoo to soften your makeup brushes

Clean your makeup brushes thoroughly and make them soft again. Then, when they are dry, you can start using your newly softened brushes. It will help you apply your makeup evenly and create the look you want.

Linkedin's new version InJobs has launched in China

 Following blocks on the content of Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, LinkedIn had been the only major Western social-media platform operating in China. But now LinkedIn has finally launched a jobs-only version called InJobs, which is a new, standalone jobs application for China but does not include a social feed or the ability to share or post articles.


Per Linkedin, its new strategy for China is to put our focus on helping China-based professionals find jobs in China and Chinese companies find quality candidates, and will also continue to work with Chinese businesses to help them create economic opportunity. “This decision aligns with our commitment to creating economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. While that has been our vision for nearly two decades now, it feels more important than ever as we all strive to build a global economy that delivers more prosperity and progress to people all over the world”

Due to this action, all users in China will no longer be able to expand contacts and connection with worldwide customers. It is really a great loss for makeup brush manufacturers who specialize in custom makeup brushes and OEM makeup brushes for worldwide brands. We will have smaller chances to get in touch with new customers and introduce our company to worldwide customers.

Anyway, our  linkedin company page https://www.linkedin.com/company/13586795/admin/ still works, you can get in touch with us from this page, just we might no longer post new products or information on this page.

Base on such situation, we will pay more attention on our Facebook. welcome to visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/customizemakeupbrushes/

Makeup brushes from Hong Kong China

 Hong Kong, as an international financial, shipping and trade center,takes an important role in worldwide makeup brush business.


90% worldwide makeup brushes are from makeup brush manufacturers in China mainland, Hong Kong is the most important transit port from china mainland to overseas.

At the same time, the mainland is Hong Kong's largest trading partner. Few Hong Kong companies will produce makeup brushes by themselves due to the high rents. They usually custom makeup brushes and OEM makeup brushes from the mainland factories.

As a professional makeup brush manufacturer, we often get inquiries from Hong Kong companies who may be an agent of cosmetic brands or professional trading companies of makeup brushes. They order makeup brushes for cosmetic brands, and  then ship to overseas. If the Hong Kong company belong to this cosmetic brand, some makeup brushes may be left for Hong Kong market.

Some Hong Kong companies also OEM makeup brushes for their own brands. Comparing with oversea companies, they have built-in advantages to custom makeup brushes from China mainland. Firstly, they will pay lower shipping charge.The makeup brush production center is in Guangdong China, which is so close to Hong Kong. Makeup brushes can be shipped by trucks or some cheap express. It greatly reduces the shipping cost. Secondly, most Hong Kong companies are very familiar to the mainland market, which gives them more space during price negation, they can even drive to the makeup brush factory to bargain the price, so they often can get a lower EXW price on makeup brushes.

Therefore, consumers sometimes can buy cheaper brand makeup brushes from Hong Kong, and doubt if the brushes are authentic and original. As long as you buy from official shops or stores, it should be no problem.

Also, since Hong Kong is  a Free trade port, there is no duty for all commodity, so the selling price in Hong Kong is cheaper than many countries, including china mainland.

how to use oval makeup brushes

 The previous article, we have introduced The Benefits of Oval makeup Brushes, here we would like to list the application of oval brushes during different makeup process:


Applying Foundation or Powder
Use the largest oval brush to apply foundation or powder. You can go for liquid, mousse or powder – any type or texture will work perfectly. Simply add the product to the brush and apply with a single sweep, gently massaging the product into your skin. You can even apply moisturiser or primer with an oval brush using the same technique.

Applying Concealer
Use the concealer oval brush and apply the product under the eye and on areas where you have blemishes. Simply dot the product in places you’d like to conceal and blend using the brush. The smaller size of this brush makes it easier to reach areas such as the inner corner of your eye.

Applying Bronzer
Use the medium sized brush, or the sculp one to contour your face. Again, with a gentle sweeping motion, blend the bronzer underneath your cheek bones, along your hairline and just under your chin.

Applying Blusher
Similar to the bronzer application, use the same sculpt oval brush. Smile gently and apply blusher on to your cheek bones, blending the product in as you go along.

Defining Your Eye Brows
Use the narrow brush to add definition to your eye brows. This is perfect for a natural subtle eye brow look as the oval brush will intensify the shade while still retaining a natural brow look.

Applying Eye Shadow
Use an eye shadow brush to easily apply primer and eye shadow. The compact size of this brush makes it easy to blend colors while still keeping the precision of eye shadow application.

For Makeup that Requires Extra Precision
If you are keen on extra precision, go for the smallest of the oval brushes. Perfect for lining, highlighting or even contouring the nose. Gently blend the product using the brush for a truly seamless look – that highlighted cupid’s bow never looked that good.

Smudging the Eyeliner
Apply eye liner and smudge it with the narrow brush. Afterwards, use the excess to line your lower lash line – very economical!

Making it Your Own
Everyone has their own way of applying makeup. Oval brushes can inspire you to use them in your own fabulous way!
