Do not compare makeup brush price in long time span

We know that it is not the first time for most customers to buy makeup brushes from chinese makeup brush manufacturers. Some must have been in this field for many years and have cooperated with many worldwide makeup brush factories for many years. So they can estimate the rough price range of the brushes they need even if no manufacturer can offer the exactly same price with the others.

 

Even those customers who just step into the makeup brush industry will also send their inquiries to manufacturers as many as they can, so that they can compare the price between different suppliers and try to find the best one from them.

 

We can understand that customers need to compare price between different suppliers to have a rough idea on the price system of the makeup brushes. However, such comparation should be in the same period. It will be the best if the time span can be shorter than one month. That is, customers send same inquiry to many suppliers in early 2013 March, and get all quotation within one month, then they can compare all quotation.

 

If the time span is too long, such comparation will be meaningless, as the price must have great difference. For example, one customer sends us an inquiry for our quotation, and we quote our best price according to their drawings and samples, but they are surprised by our price and said our price is double of their previous supplier. The fact is their last order was placed in 2011 Jan, so they can get great price from their previous supplier. However, when they want to order again from that supplier this month, the supplier increases the price a lot, otherwise, the supplier will not accept this order. Therefore, they try to find another supplier who can offer the same price as they get in 2011. Of course, now they will not be able to get the same quality brush with such price.

 

The makeup brush manufacturers will know that the cost has increased a lot comparing with 2011. The increase of all cost such as material cost, labor cost and other operation cost, have decided the price trend of the makeup brushes.

 

Therefore, customers should not compare the current price with that in 2011. In fact, the price will change even within one month due to the mateial cost change. That is why the valid period of our quotation is 30 days.

 

 

When customers require catalogue

In previous article, we have explained on why most Chinese makeup brush manufacturers have no catalogue. While in fact, we frequently receive emails to require catalogue and price list, what shall we do to such emails?

First, we can tell the customers the reason why we have no catalogue, such as: as a makeup brush factory we have thousands brush types, so it is hard to list al. Can you please let us know your exact requirements on the brush size, material, package etc, or send us the pictures of the makeup brushes you like, so that we can give you exact quotation or proper suggestions?......

Some customers who really have such demand may send us the brush pictures or their detailed requirements, while some customers may have no certain demand but just would like to see what we have. Once getting our such reply, they will not reply any more.

At this situation, if we want to win these potential customers, we have to send them some catalogue for their reference. Although we have no complete catalogue, we can list the most popular makeup brushes made by us, or some of our existing brush types. The list can not be too long or too short. If too long, customers have no time to browse all, if too short, customers may doubt about our factory scale or capacity. I really believe 100 items will be enough.

Also, when we send customers such catalogue, we should clarify in the email that these are just a part of our brushes, we specialize in custom makeup brushes, if customers have any demand not in the list, we can certainly manufacture for them.

Of course, the above is just for reference, we should take actions and feedback according to different customers and requirements, and try our best to serve our customers.

The scale of Chinese makeup brush factory

Although there are so many makeup brush factories in China who can custom makeup brushes, their scale is usually not big.

 

It is known that the complete line of makeup brush manufacturing should include the following: handle manufacturing, ferrule manufacturing, hair manufacturing, Decorations and Assembly.

 

For handle manufacturing: if wooden handle, it should have polishing and painting; if plastic handle, it should have molding facility and injection machines; for ferrule: it needs cutting machine and punching machine; for hair, it should have ETO/Sterilization and hair organization; for the customers who need to print their logo on the brush handle, it needs Hot stamping, Silkscreen printing, Pad printing, Spraying or Metalizing.

 

While few Chinese makeup brush factory can have all above facilities or lines. Most of them only engage in assembly and packing. Usually, there is around 30 staff in most Chinese makeup brush factories.

 

Such scale limit their business opportunity, it is hard for them to get orders directly from big customers, most of them sell the brushes to trading companies with low margin, while the trading companies can sell to international customers with much higher price.

 

Most of these factories are owned by privates. The factory owners really want to enlarge the factory scale to get more customers and profits, while they can not afford the high cost and risks.

 

Although these Chinese makeup brush manufacturers have small scale, most makeup brushes in world wide are come from these factories. The makeup brush quality will not be affected by the scale. They really can offer good or top quality brushes with low price, that is why now many worldwide customers would like to directly cooperate with these small factories.

About the factory audit of makeup brush factory

For most Chinese makeup brush manufacturers, the manufacturing of handle, ferrule and hair is not handled in house but offered by their suppliers. What they can do is assembly and packing, that is why the makeup brush manufacturing is called manual work.

 

This will cause a problem for the makeup brush factory: what shall they do if the customers require factory audit, especially the famous brands that have strict requirement on the factory facilities and scale?

 

Well, most famous brands buy makeup brushes through trading companies, if they require the trading company to do the factory audit, that will be ok, as the trading company is very familiar with the situation of Chinese makeup brush factory, and will not have strict requirements as long as the brush quality is good enough.

 

But if the famous brands require direct factory audit by themselves, the Chinese makeup brush factory should firstly and clearly let the customers know the real situation about the factory facility and scale, then let the customer decide if it is worth factory audit. If cheating, it will waste time of both sides and will lose customer’s trust forever.

 

In fact, few Chinese makeup brush factory can pass the factory audit of these famous brands, as these companies have too strict requirements which are difficult for most factories. That is one reason why the Chinese factory can not win big customers.

 

For normal customers who are not so famous world widely, the factory audit should not be a problem, just ensure the factory is clean and orderly during the audit. Most customers will not pay too much attention on the facility and scale of makeup brush company, what they need is good quality and low price.

Why you get quotation with big difference on makeup brushes

Many customers may have such experience: they have purchased makeup brushes from a certain makeup brush supplier for long time, one day, on impulse, they find another supplier and then send emails for inquiry, the result is they are shocked by the significant difference on the quotation and become puzzled: what is wrong? Why so big difference? Do I suffer great loss on previous purchasing?

In fact, it is really normal, the price varies a lot due to different material and dimension. So, while enquiring, you should clearly explain your material, dimension and all other requirements on the makeup brushes.

If you have described the totally same requirements to different suppliers and still get quotation with big difference, that maybe because of your supply source.

1.       If your suppliers are from the same location, the price difference maybe because they are not the makeup brush factory or manufacturer but the distributor. That is you do not get the factory direct price. For example, the EXW price of makeup brush is $1.0, the first distributor will quote at least $1.2 (some even quote $2.0), the second distributor may quote $1.5, and so forth. Then the quotation to the end customers may reach $3.0 which is three times of the original EXW price.

2.       If your suppliers are from difference country, that is easier to understand, just think about that buy a makeup brush from a Chinese makeup brush factory may just need $1.0, but if you buy form an European makeup brush manufacturer or factory, the factory price may reach $20.0

3.       If your suppliers are the Chinese factory and European distributor, the price difference will be much bigger, we usually get known that we offer makeup brushes to our overseas customers at $1.0, and their selling price is $100.0. The shocking difference, right? But it is really the truth.

That is why so many customers prefer to custom makeup brushes directly from Chinese manufacturers, they can get much more profit from such sourcing with the same quality,

HJF and BJF hair

Many foreign customers may not understand why Chinese makeup brush factory always asks them what grade of goat hair they prefer, HJF or BJF? As they can not understand what does HJF and BJF means.

 

HJF and BJF is an abbreviation of the Chinese saying: Huang Jian Feng and Bai Jian Feng, as it is hard to explain and translate these materials into English, most people directly use this Chinese abbreviation to show the different level of goat hair. HJF and BJF are the most popular goat hair used on high-grade makeup brushes.

 

In fact, there are more than 20 grades of goat hair: Xi Guang Feng (XGF), Zhong Guang Feng (ZGF), Bai Jian Feng (BJF), Huang Jian Feng (HJF), Ti Jian Feng (TJF), #0, #2, double drawn etc. Among them, XGF is the best quality and most expensive, fewer customers and users can afford the makeup brushes with XGF or ZGF.

 

BJF has been good enough for top-grade makeup brushes, even the famous brands like MAC, they usually use HJF for some of their brushes. Anyway, the BJF is better than HJF, and has become the most popular choice for top grade makeup brushes.

 

So if you would like to custom makeup brushes with goat hair from a Chinese makeup brush manufacturer, and can not understand some expression, please ask for detailed explanation, so that you can get the exact brushes you need. Remember that, the makeup brushes with different grade goat hair are widely different in price and quality.

About Purchase makeup brushes from China

Today, I saw a sentence in the website of a USA company who supply makeup brushes; they declare that “we are a cruelty free makeup brush company.  No animals are harmed to produce our makeup brushes. We do not purchase makeup brushes from china or outside of the USA”. 

 

Many Chinese makeup brush manufacturers must be angry with such description. They make a special mention of China, and show their superiority by stating not purchase from any China makeup brush manufacturer.

 

It is rather ridiculous. Makeup brush is a manual work, made in China or USA can prove nothing on brush quality. Every know that many famous brands like MAC and BB, custom makeup brushes in their Chinese makeup brush factory, and most ladies are crazy for MAC and BB brushes. Chinese makeup brushes are good enough to meet all quality requirements.

 

As a makeup brush supplier, this company may really once purchased Chinese makeup brushes with bad quality, so they get hurt and never believe in any Chinese makeup brush suppliers or manufacturers. In fact, most makeup brush factory in China are very good, but this company give no chance to them for cooperation.

 

By the way, I believe the special mention of China instead of other country can also prove the power of Made-in-China.

Makeup Tips For Teenagers

Teenagers have very delicate skin and they want to experiment every makeup product available in the market. But there are many makeup products available, specially manufactured for the sensitive skin of teenagers. One basic rule for the makeup for the teenagers is to apply light makeup to enhance your look and be natural. Skin of teenagers is naturally smooth and beautiful. They do not need to prepare much of the base, as the skin is clear without any blemishes.

While applying makeup to teens, subtlety and the softness are the two main concerns. Very mild and soft colors like pink, neutral brown or coral should be used on faces. Applying harsh colors and overdoing makeup will make them look overage. To look more attractive teenagers should use right makeup products and right tips for applying makeup. Teenagers should take proper care of skin as their skin gets changed due to hormonal changes. Avoid using makeup just to hide your skin problems. It will worsen the situation. You should apply makeup only on special occasion and parties.

Foundation

Experts advise it is better not to use foundation as it tends to clog skin pores and also looks overdone. Instead, you can use concealer to hide blemishes and dust little loose powder to blend it completely with skin. Concealer should be of skin tone. Use of concealer pencil is best to cover scars or blemishes.

Applying Blush
  
At first, choose appropriate product for your skin. Teenagers should go for oil-free blushes, which contain components like tea tree oil or salicylic acid as these suit a teenager’s skin also help in prevent acne. They should avoid using water based oily blushes, which stick to the skin and clog pores of skin. Teenagers should choose lighter shades like pink and peaches, which are the natural shades. For nicely blending the blush, apply some loose powder first on your skin and then powdered blush.  Start applying blushes on the apple of cheek towards and outwards your hairline.  For applying blush and powder, you should choose soft and natural haired brush, which is dense and has round tip.

Eye makeup for Teens

You can add color to your face by eye makeup. For applying perfect eye makeup, you will need eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner and brow liner. Before applying any eye makeup, curl your eyelashes for dramatic look. Brown shade for mascara really works for skin tones in teenagers. Do not over apply eyeshadow and dust little loose powder over it to soften the look. To give bright look to eyes, inside the rim of lower lash, apply white eyeliner pencil. Brush eyebrows with toothbrush and fill the gaps with gray eyebrow pencil.  To cover the dark circles under eyes, apply skin tone concealer and blend it with skin using little loose powder. Do not use sparkles and glitters for eye makeup. While choosing eye shadow color, it does not have to match with your eye color. Earthy tones like, brown, tan and gray suit most of the teens. 

Lip Makeup For Teens

For a right lip makeup you need to take care your lips. Keep them moist and moisturized by applying lip balm and moisturizer. Only applying lip-gloss will give the desired look to the lips of teens. If you are going for a party, you will want to add color to your lips. So make sure you do not choose a dark color for lips, it should be light and sheen tinted. Do not forget to apply lip liner, which should match lip color and should not be dark. It helps lipstick or lip gloss stay in place. You can apply oil-free foundation or lip crayon to lips to let the lipstick stay longer.  You should apply light lip color during daytime and dark lip color at nighttime.

Other Important Makeup tips for teens

- Never go to the bed before removing makeup with the help of makeup remover.
- Use only a non-alcoholic toner on the face.
- For oily skin, use tissue to blot away extra oil.
- Take proper cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine for keeping the skin healthy. As healthy skin is the base of perfect makeup

The four essential Makeup Brushes

In fact,you don’t really need different makeup brushes for blush and powder or different layers of eye shadow; too many makeup brushes only get confusing and expensive. Actually, four makeup brushes will get you through every makeup situation. The angled eyeliner brush: This stiff, thin tool works for liner application with everything from liquid liner to semi-solid potted colors and even helps you successfully turn eyeshadows into liners. It’s a must-have if you’re an eyeliner wearer.
A soft powder/blush brush: Don’t be deceived into believing that you need to buy totally different brushes for powder, bronzer, blush, etc. While having options isn’t bad, it is really expensive and unnecessary. Choose a fluffy, large powder brush for any face powder applications and buy a separate blush brush later if you really want to round out your tool collection. Sticking with soft, long bristles over shorter, harder ones—which most blush-specific brushes have—will keep the application looking lighter and more natural.
A tapered blending brush for shadow: A soft eyeshadow brush with long-ish, soft fibers can be used both for shadow application and blending. Something shorter, smaller or much stiffer will be more difficult to use for both steps without ending up looking like a drag queen.
The cream concealer brush: Use it to tame your darkest under-eye circle days and your scariest zits. This one’s actually semi-optional and only really necessary for the aforementioned awful under-eye circles, oily skin or quite a lot of blemishes to cover up. It’s a good idea in those cases because it will keep the oil from your fingers from exacerbating the acne and other issues and it will ensure that the deepest possible concealer pigmentation actually gets to those circles rather than getting stuck on your fingers.

Tips to Get a Good Concealer

Concealers are used to hide the scars, blemishes and spots from the face. They cannot remove it but give and illusion and hide them. They come in many forms as liquid, tubes and sticks. One can choose any of them as per the usage.

They are a very important part of your make up kit. Having one small stick of the concealer is the must to hide your acne scars, dark circles or if any other spot you have on the face which might spoil your looks and your make up if not covered properly.

Concealer should not be applied on the spot, acne or blemish directly from the tube or stick, it might spread the bacteria infection in ones conceler tube or stick and whenever one will use it again on the face, one might get infection on the face. It can be taken on a fingertip and can be applied on the spot with it. One can even use sponge buds or cotton buds, which are used to apply eyeshades.

Concealers are the best to hide out spots in an emergency. One has to apply conceler with foundation and should blend it well with the shade of foundation otherwise it will look different and even if you will be successful in hiding your spot, you will get a patch that will be a different shade of conceler on your skin than your foundation. So both of them should gel well.

One should buy the conceler keeping in mind the shade of ones foundation as if you buy a very light conceler than your skin tone, you will barely be able to hide your scar or spot.

While putting make up on the face, conceler should be applied before foundation and than foundation should be blended accordingly.

If right amount and right kind of conceler applied on the blemish or scar, it can totally make it look invisible. But whenever applied it should be removed after the use as any other substance is not good on the pimple and scar if left for long time.

So get a good conceler and hide out all your blemishes and pimple scars from the face for the next party and look awesome.
