Product Information

Small flat brush - a versatile brush, designed for a variety of uses. It presses and blends all shadow formations onto lids and is perfect for building up colour. Its firm, flattened shape allows for easy application of darker shades in the crease of the eyelid. Additionally, use the flattened bristles to cover and conceal blemishes. for detailed contouring, highlighting brow bones or to add a pop of colour to lids. Concealer brushes can resemble a small powder brush or a small foundation brush. The aim of these is to get a seamless and precise blend without moving too much product away from the area you’re trying to conceal. Whichever style you choose, a light hand is best when blending concealer.

Next, you'll need to take note of the bristle material. If you want something cruelty-free, you shouldchoose a set that uses synthetic hairs, such as nylon. Synthetic brushes can be used for creams, liquids, and powders making them the most versatile. Think about which formula of products you mainly use to determine which type of bristles to buy. There is an easy, cruelty-free alternative, however. Synthetic fibers are an affordable option, and one that’s actually better for your skin, according to Tai Young, a Los Angeles-based celebrity makeup artist. “They’re easier to clean and sanitize, and will last longer than animal hair brushes,” she says. “They’re naturally more hygienic than animal hair brushes, which are more porous and therefore more likely to collect bacterial and microbial growth.” Angled, or flat brushes are perfect for those of you who apply eyebrow pomades, or tend to use eyeshadow as eyeliner. Flat and angled eye makeup brushes allow you to get the product right into the lash line, or to draw on precise brow-like hairs. You should clean your tools at least once a week to prevent a buildup of dirt and bacteria, to reduce the risk of skin irritation and acne. A regular deep clean will also keep the bristles soft, which helps to prolong the lifespan of your brushes, too. Our personal favourite is bareMinerals’ Well-Cared For Brush Conditioning Shampoo as it conditions while it cleanses and is non-irritating. What different types of makeup brushes are there? Don’t discount the Expert Face Brush because of its bargain price. Designed to build a custom coverage, this buffing brush works with your foundation to leave a natural, fresh and streak-free finish. The ultra-plush synthetic bristles are dome-shaped to make easy work of blending liquid and cream foundations into the skin, as well as cream contour and highlight. While a long, lightweight aluminum handle helps to precisely target specific areas.Replacing animal-derived foods is the first step if you’re on the road towards a 100% vegan lifestyle, but there’s another place in your home where they might be hiding: Your makeup bag.

Makeup brushes aren’t just about the bristles. The handles can have an environmental impact, too, and vegan doesn’t necessarily mean environmentally friendly, as it often relies on plastic materials that are byproducts of the fossil fuel industry. Eyebrow spoolies are an often overlooked essential that makes styling your brows and separating out clumpy mascara a thousand times easier. While you’ll sometimes find them in a complete makeup brush set, you can also buy spoolies super cheaply online, so this isn’t an essential part of a set. It depends. Synthetic fibers are generally made from plastic materials, which are a by-product of the petroleum industry and can be difficult or completely impossible to recycle. However, many vegan makeup brushes try to balance this by using sustainable materials in the rest of the design. Many use fast-growing bamboo for the handle; this wood is considered more sustainable than others as it requires no pesticides or chemicals to grow and can often be composted at the end of its life.

Vapour Natural hair brushes are often derived from animal hair such as sable and mink, meaning they're not suitable for those who are vegan or against the fur trade. Most brushes are heading in the synthetic direction as modern technology has improved the quality and efficiency of make-up brushes without the need for animal hair. You'll also find brush sets dedicated to certain areas of the face, which will appeal to those who have a favourite area they usually focus on, such as the eyes. These will be a little more limiting, of course, but are probably a better buy if you don't think you'll end up using more than a few from a complete set.
