Most people are familiar with natural-hair brushes, which are typically made of sable, squirrel, goat or a combination of hairs chosen for visual appeal and functionality. High material costs and animal cruelty issues have negatively impacted the natural-hair brush category.

Many of my peers wont work with anything other than natural-hair makeup brushes. They feel man-made materials will not produce similar results. While I admire their allegiance to tradition, its time to visit the 21st century.
Back in the day, animal hair was the only material available for brush making, so it became the standard. Thanks to strides in technology, many of todays synthetic filaments are specifically designed to enhance makeup brush functionality and performance beyond the limitations of natural hair. Natural-hair bristles are no longer the only pro-choice.
Technology has created synthetic filaments (nylon, taklon, polyester) offering superior versatility and durability. The more advanced fiber can even be processed to look and feel like the finest natural hair.
The BIG difference even with constant use (wet or dry) and frequent cleaning, high-quality synthetics dont degrade or break down as easily as fragile natural hair.
The initial drawback of substituting synthetic fibers was its smooth exterior surface, which compromised performance when using powder makeup products. Natural hair has a microscopic surface texture called the cuticle, which resembles fish scales. These scales grab and hold onto the powder and then release it when brushed against another surface.
Many manufacturers have developed synthetic fibers with rough surface textures that mimic this cuticle, but it was DuPont laboratories that found a way to REPLICATE the studded cuticle texture. Natrafil® is a patented polyester filament with a textured surface that surpasses the pick-up and deposit performance of natural hair while adding the superior durability of a synthetic.
DuPont Nartrafil® was my fiber choice when developing the [R]evolution Professional Brush Collection.
Another trend is blended brushes that mix synthetic and natural hair to augment the best qualities of each.

Brush handles usually come in 3 material types wood, plastic and metal.
The choice of handle comes down to a mixture of brand and client preference and the type of look and feel wanted. Lets explain below.
Wooden as handle material is common and economic. Theyve been used for centuries and offer your brushes a nice feel to them.
Wooden brush handle has a light weight which offer a good appearance and natural effect to work. It is easy to do small MOQ orders if you take wooden brush; They are not expensive; it is easy to make any mould. You can do any painting color it it. At the same time any size and shape could be customized based on your design.

Plastic material types and classes used by our factories mainly include: AS, ABS, PP, PE, PET, PCTA, PETG and acrylic.
Plastic handles provide many options which make them a popular choice.
All sorts of shapes and patterns can be made, which give you endless options to create something very unique. Colours are limitless and special effects can be used with a plastic handle. Metal plating can also be used over a plastic handle to give it a metallic look.
Plastic handles can also be a little lighter than a wooden handle which can also be an advantage. Plastic handle are also very strong and durable. It is difficult to break or damage them. The main challenge of plastic handle is that its super high mould cost and higher MOQ production.
However, we have many existing available mould for plastic brush mass production which help you save much mould cost. Liya Beauty have hundred of injection moulds for yours private label requirement in a lower cost.
For those projects that require something specific designed from scratch, plastic moulds need to be made for each shape and size required. If your order quantities are low, this can be a large cost to incur. Of course, if quantities are high, these moulds are easily absorbed into the overall cost of the project.
Metal is the third material range which is also widely applied in brush handle. It looks premium but it is very heavy; This is most expensive option for makeup brush handle. Generally speaking they are applied on a luxurious brand brushes.
