The material of kabuki brush

Just like other brush types, KABUKI brushes also have different grades.

The ferrule material is usually aluminum, few customer will choose copper ferrule for kabuki brushes. So the grade difference on ferrule is just the process quality, such as the brightness, color etc.

The material which will greatly affect the kabuki brush quality is the hair material. The most common material is curl nylon, it is cheap and soft, so is loved by most makeup artists or users; some may ask why use curl nylon instead of normal nylon? The reason is the curl nylon can create a chubby affect, which is the demand of kabuki brushes; if use normal straight nylon, it will not achieve such effect.

While some customers may not be able to accept the cost of curl nylon, and prefer cheaper material. That will be SQ goat hair or 2# or 10# goat hair, which will be a little cheaper than curl nylon, but the quality is not so good. It is known that SQ goat hair is the cheapest with poorest quality, it is somewhat stiff than higher grade goat hair. While due to cost consideration, some customers will also prefer SQ goat hair.

If customers would like to custom kabuki brushes with a little higher quality than curl nylon, that will be HJF or BJF goat hair. HJF and BJF goat hair is high grade goat hair and is the most popular hair material for high grade makeup brushes. If customers need much higher quality than curl nylon, the hair material can be ZGF goat hair which is the best goat material, while few customers can afford the high cost.

The hair material of top grade or the best kabuki brushes is squirrel hair or chinchilla hair, of course such kabuki brushes will be extremely expensive, and seldom customers will consider so expensive and top grade brushes.

Before custom makeup brushes, customers should well know their target market and have good communication with the makeup brush manufacturer, and choose brush grades according to the market, so that they can gain the biggest profit.

The dimension of Kabuki brushes

We have explained a lot about the importance of ferrule size to the brush price. For kabuki brushes, the ferrule diameter is much more importance than other brushes.
It is known that KABUKI brushes just have two parts: ferrule and hair. The ferrule diameter will directly decide the hair usage. If with the same material, with bigger diameter will much more expensive.
Also, as no handle, the ferrule diameter of Kabuki brush is usually much bigger than other type brushes. For example, for large powder brushes, the ferrule diameter is usually 17mm, while even the smallest kabuki brushes will have 20mm ferrule diameter. That is why KABUKI brushes are usually expensive than other brushes.
Generally, the Kabuki brushes have the following diameter sizes: 20mm, 25mm, 26mm,27mm, 28mm,30mm, 38mm, 40mm,45mm and 50mm. The kabuki brushes with 20mm ferrule diameter are very small and can be called mini brushes. While the kabuki brushes with 50mm ferrule diameter is very big and expensive, if with good quality material, few customer or user can afford it. The most common size for KABUKI brushes ferrule diameter is from 25mm to 40mm, these kabuki brushes will have proper size and price.
Different customers have different requirement on kabuki ferrule diameter. While most of them have no direct feeling about the differences until they see real samples. Therefore, most customers will require free samples before deciding the ferrule size. While few makeup brush factory will agree to offer free samples without orders. After long term communication with various customers, we finally find a compromise way: we put all sizes of KABUKI brushes together, take them in one picture, and send the picture to customers. With the reference, customers will have direct feeling about the difference of various sizes, and will finally have decision on which one they would like to order.
Having any question or concern on the size during custom makeup brushes, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Kabuki brush

Many ladies like kabuki brushes very much, as the kabuki brush itself looks both noble and cute, every lady dreams of being noble and cute with the help of kabuki brushes.

The kabuki brush hair can be natural hair or synthetic. Usually the natural hair is goat hair, HJF, BJF or ZGF goat hair, as the goat hair has good capacity to hold powders, and these 3 hairs are top grade goat hair which will not cause harm to our skin; the synthetic hair is usually curl nylon hair, as the common nylon will not reach the fat effect. Normally, the goat hair will be expensive than nylon hair.

During custom makeup brushes, or exactly saying custom kabuki brushes, another essential question is the ferrule diameter of the kabuki brushes. Every makeup brush factory will ask this question; otherwise it will be unreasonable without knowing such dimension. Even with small difference on the diameter, the price may change a lot.

So before sending inquiry to the makeup brush manufacturers, customers should have a clear mind on the material and size you want, only with this information, you can have effect and prompt communication with the suppliers.

The affect of kabuki brushes size to unit price

Many customers can not understand why the makeup brush manufacturer always asks them about the brush dimension when they want to custom makeup brushes. It is known that the dimension of makeup brushes will affect the price, as the dimension decides the usage of raw materials like bristles, ferrules and handles.
 
Especially the Kabuki brushes, not like other brush types, Kabuki brushes are simple in craft, and they usually use nylon hair (2-color or 3-color) and aluminum/copper ferrule, so no big difference on material either. Therefore, the material cost takes great role in the brush price. The base diameter of ferrule and the exposed length of bristles will greatly affect the brush price. For example, with the same material, the kabuki brushes with 30mm diameter are much expensive than those with 20mm diameter; and suppose if all other dimension and the material are the same, but the kabuki brushes with longer exposed hair length will be more expensive.
 
That is why we always ask customers of dimension during their custom makeup brushes. While in fact, most customers have no exact requirement on the size. Then we will send them the pictures of our existing kabuki brushes for their reference, and if they like some of them, we will then quote them accordingly and send them the detailed information of the existing brushes.
 
However, if customers would like to buy kabuki brushes with their own design and style from a makeup brush factory, it is best to let the factory know the detailed size, so that the makeup brush factory can calculate the cost and quote you very exact price at the very beginning.

on makeup brushes

Not everyone uses makeup brushes. Eyeshadow can be applied on the eye with a finger. Lipstick doesnt need a brush, and mascara, of course, comes with a brush of its own. So why bother to buy makeup brushes?
 
Atually, makeup brushes are not just an optional extra. They help you apply your makeup with greater accuracy and precision, and they create a significant difference to the finished look. Therefore, if you take your face seriously, a set of good quality makeup brushes could be the best investment youll make.

Types of Makeup Brushes

Unfortunately, when buy makeup brushes; it is definitely not a case of "one size fits all". Different types are designed for different purposes, and for the best possible results, it is a good idea to buy a small selection.
Here are the main types of makeup brushes available:
  • Foundation Brush
While most of us simply rub foundation in with our fingers or apply it with sponge, we are actually missing out on something. A foundation brush has a flat shape and long bristles, making sure that your foundation is absolutely applied and flawlessly blended.
  • Concealer brush
Again, you can just use your fingers, but whether youre using your concealer to disguise a blemish or lighten under eye shadows, a concealer brush is better. It will allow your concealer to be concentrated on the area youre trying to cover and that has to be a good thing!
The momentous of all makeup brushes, your powder brush is used to dust loose powder over your face, setting your makeup and eliminating any shine.
Makeup Artists use three separate brushes on the eyes: a medium-sized one on the lid, a small one to line the socket of the eye, and a larger one to add highlighter to the area under the brow. You can also buy eyeliner brushes to apply liquid eye shadow or to blend eye shadow around the eyes for a smoky, sexy look!
As the name suggests, a blush brush is used to add color to the cheeks. One of the larger of the brushes youll use, it has soft bristles and is intended to blend color as well as apply it.
While lipstick is designed to be applied directly from the case, using a lip brush will provide even more and accurate coverage, plus make your lipstick last longer too! For the longest-lasting application, use your foundation brush to cover your lips with a thin layer of foundation, dust with powder, apply lipstick, dust again, then blot.

Where to Buy

Youll find a selection of makeup brushes for sale anywhere that sells cosmetics. Many people, however, like to buy a matching set, and this can be a good idea as a set will normally contain each of the brushes youll need.

Brush Care

Makeup brushes never last forever. Frequent use that involves coating them in various types of makeup, it is important to make sure that you care for them appropriately. Your makeup brushes should be stored out of harms way after each use, and cleaned regularly with warm water.

Assemble a Makeup Brush Kit

Purchasing a preassembled makeup brush set is not always the best way to use your money. The following shows how to choose essential makeup brushes by yourselves.
 
Follow These Eight Easy Steps
 
1   Pick a powder brush
The powder brush should be soft and fluffy and have a medium dome so the powder is distributed evenly over your face.Kabuki brush is also ok.
 
2    Pick a blush brush
Your blush brush should have slightly angled bristles and be at least three inches at its longest tip to avoid streaking.
 
3    Pick a foundation brush
The foundation brush can be used as an alternative to your fingers or a sponge for applying liquid foundation; it should be flat and have stiff bristles that allow for sheer coverage.
 
4    Pick a concealer brush
Similar to the foundation brush, the concealer brush should have fine dense bristles that help cover blemishes accurately.
 
5    Choose two eyeshadow brushes
A brush with small bristles should be used to apply shadow; a flat brush to blend the shadow.
 
6    Pick a brow brush
The eyebrow brush should have a tiny comb on one side and stiff bristles on the other.

Tip: In a pinch, you can use a toothbrush to tame your brows.
 
7    Pick an angled brush
Used for applying eye liner or for filling in your eyebrows, a thin stiff-bristled brush provides the most precision.
 
8    Pick a lip brush
For applying lipsticks and glosses, you’ll need a small dense brush.

Brad Pitt or makeup brushes

If I were stranded on a desert island,
The only survival choices left me are Brad Pitt and makeup brushes,
I love Brad Pitt so much, but I had to choose makeup brushes,
Because I want to look good when found by the rescue team! “
 
This is from MAC’s global artistic director NADINE LUKE who is to promote the new MAC makeup brushes.
 
This great advertisement push me stand in front of MAC counter, clearly look through all the makeup brushes. However I have been lazy for too long to recognize their function , eyeshadow brush , blush brush , lipstick brush and so on ,I usually only use liquid foundation and blush, and only know the difference in bristle quantity, length and shape, or sometimes I will consider if the makeup brushes are made of pony hair or something else.
 
Once I was crazy for a man Hong Kong makeup artist named Joseph, seeing that he coolly took various makeup brushes from a black makeup bags, and then applying in my face for several minutes, then I look much better. After that I impetuously buy a bunch of makeup including blush, lip gloss, eye shadow, eyeliner, powder, and of course a full set of makeup brushes (and buy the most expensive BB makeup brushes (Joseph is the makeup artist of BB). If can not find in China, I will ask friends to buy from Hong Kong, however, now all cosmetics and makeup brushes have been staying in my table for a long time.
 
My crazy to makeup only lasted six months, that time I got up early every day and use makeup brushes to makeup for half an hour. However, finally I give up.
Now I imagine that if I face the same choice, which should I choose? Brad Pitt or makeup brushes? I believe my answer will be makeup brushes, but with different reason.
 
I also love Brad Pitt,
But I have to choose makeup brushes,
As if I can not be beautiful in front of Brad Pitt, I would rather he never appear in front of me.
So I give up Brad Pitt and choose makeup brushes.

To choose appropriate makeup brushes

There is an old Chinese saying: A workman must sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well. Makeup brushes, as the most important makeup tools, should have good quality to help the makeup become perfect. The brush hair is the most important factors of makeup brush quality.
 
There are various hairs on the market, as we introduced before, the hairs can generally divided into natural hair (animal hair) and artificial hair (synthetic fiber). The professional makeup artists think that we can not say natural hair is definitely better than artificial hair; it depends on the brush function.
 
Generally, the animal hair, as being very soft and with bigger angle, is better for the makeup brushes on the face, for example powder brushes and blush brushes etc. While artificial hair, stiffer but with longer life and easier to clean, is perfect for eyeshadow brushes or lip brushes. However, the artificial hair in the eyeshadow brushes, can not be too stiff, or it will hurt the face skin, it can not be too soft either, or it will not be able to apply perfect makeup. Therefore, the makeup brushes are usually with mix hair (mix natural hair with artificial hair). Besides, the natural hair will have some odor which should be eliminated during makeup brush manufacturing.
 
Many Chinese know that when buying writing brush, we should check if the brush tip is flat. The brush handle can be sharp or flat or with some angle, while the brush hair should be with natural arch shape, no manual shave.
 
Therefore, while choosing makeup brushes, if we find the brush tip is shaved, that means the brush hair is not so good. However, natural hair has its limit too, it often looses bristles. So before using the new brushes, we should puff the makeup brushes, brush on our hands for several times to remove the extra bristles.

function of each makeup brush

There are so many types of makeup brushes; each makeup brush has its own function during makeup. Big and soft brush will make the color apply even and thin, while small brushes can apply the makeup to the exact position.
 
Generally, to have perfect makeup, there are 5 essential makeup brushes:
1.       Blush brushes- the taper and cambered brush head can ensure even makeup, no matter how heavy the blush color is.
2.       Powder brushes-after applying foundation, use the round big powder brush to evenly apply the powder on to the face; or use the makeup sponge to apply powder onto face, then sweep the face by powder brush. The big and round powder brush can evenly apply powder to the whole face with the soft brush head.
3.       Face brushes: The slant brush head can highlight the face figure
4.       Eyeshadow brushes: the pony hair will be best for eyeshadow brushes. The round brush head can make smoky makeup
5.       Lip brushes-apply lip gloss
