‏Vegan & Natural Brushes, What Is The Difference? | EIGSHOW Beauty

When you are keeping a green beauty routine, it can be difficult to stay abreast of all of the beauty terminology. For example, a lot of people don’t know the difference between a vegan makeup brush and a natural makeup brush. To simplify it, a vegan makeup brush is made with completely synthetic bristles so that no animal hair is used in the creation of the brush. The bristles are typically made of nylon, tartan, or polyester material. ‏

‏A natural makeup brush has bristles that are made of natural animal hair. The hair is usually goat, horse, or boar hair. The important thing to remember when you are purchasing natural makeup brushes is to ensure that it is made using cruelty free manufacturing processes. This ensures that no animals were harmed in procuring the hair or producing the makeup brush.‏

‏Natural brushes are great for distributing pigment evenly on your skin, and they feel soft when you’re applying product with them. They can be bad for sensitive skin, though, and they also aren’t hypoallergenic. Vegan makeup brushes are more wallet friendly, and they are a great deal easier to clean than natural brushes. They are ideal for heavy use because they don’t harbor bacteria that ‘s difficult to clean out like a natural brush has the tendency to do. They also waste less product than natural brushes do because they don’t absorb product as heavily as the natural bristles have a tendency to do.
