Which brushes are better for makeup? Reviews about the popular manufacturers

Brushes for make-up are the main working tools of any make-up artist. They should be for every woman doing make-up on her own, and also necessary for smooth application and economical consumption of cosmetics.

But are all the brushes equally good at their task? Consider the makeup brushes from well-known manufacturers. Which of them is better?

For beginners it will be useful to know which to choose makeup brushes - top 10 most needed:

Brushes Zoeva( Zoeva)

Zoeva produces professional makeup brushes and standard kits that should be in every woman's cosmetic bag.

• Each brush has its own function. To apply on the eyelids of the shadow, you may need up to 10 different brushes. Their purpose depends on the type of action that must be performed( application or feathering), as well as on the place where this action will be performed: an internal or external corner, a movable or lower eyelid, an area under the eyebrows.

• In sets, part of the brushes are made from natural goat pile. They are very convenient for applying powder, blush and shading of shadows. But quality artificial pile helps to apply evenly and without overspray cream-proofreader or shade.

Brushes Sigma( Sigma)

Very popular American makeup brushes Sigma, which are made both from natural and artificial nap by hand.

• Sigma makeup brushes designed to apply powder, blush or shadows take just as much money as needed to emphasize natural beauty. This saves make-up artists and women making an independent make-up, from the need to use a brush to remove excess cosmetics.
• Brushes for shading shadows and correctors are very soft, do not irritate the skin and allow cosmetics to merge smoothly among themselves so that you can not find the boundary.

Mac brushes( Poppy)

• Compared to the tools from Sigma and Zoyeva, makeup brushes Mac have the most democratic prices. Under this brand, both professional brushes and simplified sets for applying make-up themselves are produced.
• If you pursue the naturalness, the sets from Mac are not for you. In each set there are both natural brushes( pile of goats, sables, ponies or squirrels), and synthetic ones, made of soft, high-quality and hypoallergenic fiber. But you can buy natural makeup brushes separately.

• The manufacturer himself recommends using natural nap for bulk agents( shadows and powders), and for liquid( base and foundation) synthetic, which does not absorb moisture and is easily cleaned. Applying makeup becomes a simple task if you use proven brushes.

Brushes Roubloff( Rubble)

Roubloff is a Russian company specializing in the production of brushes for artists and make-up artists.

Better than Rubleff, markings of brushes can not be found:

1. first letter decodes the material that was used for production,
2. the second - the working end shape,
3. the last two digits indicate the brush number.

The marking on brushes will never be erased due to the protective varnish coating. This will make it easy to find a replacement for an instrument that has served its term.

The company uses both natural nap of different animals and high-quality synthetic pile of Japanese origin. Each brush has a holder of chrome copper, the pile is securely fixed with glue - all this will prevent hair loss and provide a permanent shape of the smear.

Brushes Louis

Louis Brushes were created by the famous Russian make-up artist - Lyudmila Tarakanova. She developed a line of wonderful make-up brushes designed for real professionals.

• Each natural brush has long hairs, naturally tapering towards the end and providing a gentle application and comfortable shading of dry cosmetics.
• Flat brushes have thin and firm edges that can be used to apply eyeliner or bright accents to the eyelids.
• Round barrel-kegs feature a sharp center, which allows you to apply and shade the paint in one go.

• If we compare the weight of the handle and the working part( pile + metal cage), then for each model they will be the same. Therefore, the length and thickness of each brush is different. The equilibrium condition of the handle and the working part is necessary in order to fully surrender itself to art, without forcing yourself to balance at the same time, spending power on balancing the mass of the instrument.

Brushes Hakuhodo( Hakuhodo)

• Brushes of Japanese manufacture Hakuhodo surpass in quality any other brushes for make-up of other manufacturer. Where can I find a make-up tool better than a brush made of natural or synthetic pile, fixed with a metal clip covered in gold?

• All models have clear boundaries of the working part, allowing to apply perfect make-up without divorces and visible borders.
• Brushes for professional make-up of Hakuhodo are worth the money that the manufacturer requests. But not every make-up artist can afford them, what to say about women doing make-up themselves?

One brush costs as much as a whole set of tools for applying cosmetics to another manufacturer. But if you at least once try the true Japanese quality, you will no longer want to use something else.

Brushes of Reeve Ghosh
