The retractable mechanism on makeup brush

If I am asked about which brush type is the most special? I must say retractable brush. It is true that kabuki brush is also special since it is only have two parts instead of three. But, retractable brush is much complex and different due to its retractable mechanism.

Usually, there are following types of retractable mechanisms for makeup brushes:

1.       The brush has 3 parts: the body, hair head and the cap. There is a side lever on the brush body, the brush extends and retracts by the side lever. This is the most common mechanism and can even be used on large powder brushes. With such mechanism, the brush hair can be kept in good shape and the cap can keep the brush away from dust and dirt.

2.       The brush only has 2 parts: the body and hair head, no cap. The mechanism works in the same way as the first type. Such mechanism will save some cost, and can also prevent some dust and dirt, but the brush is still easy to become dirty.

3.       The brush has 3 parts: the body, hair head and the cap. But the mechanism is different from the first one. No side lever on the body, the brush extends and retracts by pushing or turning the body. Such mechanism is more complex and the cost will be higher.

4.       The brush only has 2 parts: the body and hair head. No side lever on the body, no cap either. But there is a door closing the brush inside after retraction. This mechanism is the most complex and expensive. And it just suits the small brushes like eyeliner brush and lip brush. For a little large brush like eyeshadow brush, such mechanism will not work well due to the big hair head.

During custom makeup brushes, many customers will have their own design on the brushes, it is totally no problem for normal makeup brushes, but for retractable brushes, if you have your special design or requirement, please firstly communicate and confirm with your makeup brush manufacturer, as the mechanism is complex and does not suit all brushes.

Some customers also wonder about the lifetime of the mechanism. Well, we do not calculate or research on this, but we do ensure that the mechanism will not fail even if the brushes have been broken.

How to choose Retractable Lip Brush

When buy a retractable lip brush, there are a few things to consider. Aside from the material that a brush is made from, its also important to choose a brush that has received good consumer reviews. Frequently, retractable brushes can break due to constant movement, though some of these brushes are better built than others. 

Generally, an inexpensive retractable lip brush wont last for more than a couple of months, though this is not always the case. Look for a brush that is sealed on both ends when closed, so that small particles of dust and debris cannot enter the brush while not in use. Some brushes come with carrying cases that are both protective and practical, while other brushes include one open end that can attract dirt.

It is also important to look for a retractable lip brush that is made from quality material. A brush made from natural hair is the best kind of brush that you can purchase, though these tend to be more expensive than synthetic brushes. Nylon brushes are not recommended, since these brushes tend to break rather easily. If you want to purchase a humane retractable lip brush, look for one that is made from a synthetic material other than nylon.

A lip brush should have very fine hairs that are both stiff and easily maneuverable. Loose hairs will not allow you to apply lip color evenly. Lip brushes should also have a pointy tip, since this type of tip makes it easier to apply lipstick. You will find that many beauty stores sell different brush kits that have all kinds of brushes including a retractable lip brush, though you may want to think about purchasing brushes separately instead.

While kits are cost-effective and convenient, its difficult to find a kit that includes all of the brushes that you may want. When you purchase each brush separately, you can control that types of brushes that you purchase.

When buy makeup brushes, its important to take into consideration the brush price , but dont forget to consider the factors listed above.
