6 Reasons to Use Vegan Makeup Brushes

One of the key ingredients of a good makeup application is the tools you are using. Makeup brushes top the list. If you currently apply your blush and eye shadow with your fingers or the cheap brush that comes in the compact, you’re missing out on 70% of the power of your makeup because you’re not using the right application tools. Not only does using the right, high quality makeup brushes get the job done quicker, the final result also looks significantly better.

Knowing the right makeup brush style to use per product is important. However, there is another essential component to consider and that’s what your brushes are made of. Some would tell you that only “natural hair” makeup brushes will provide you great results. Before we get into that debate, you should first know what “natural hair” means. The term “natural” sound great and in general, everyone wants to go more natural with their product purchases. In the case of cosmetics brushes the term “natural” means the cosmetic brushes are made from animal hair, usually from goat, squirrel, mink, sable and horse. With this comes a host of animal rights and animal abuse questions none of which are pretty.

Perhaps the claim was true years ago, that “natural hair” cosmetic brushes were favored. However, for the past decade cruelty-free makeup brushes have surged in popularity, not only for their animal friendly origins but also for their modern manufacturing, design, and amazing performance. Today, effective, beautiful, synthetic makeup brushes are available in every style and perform as well asyour mother’s natural, animal hair cosmetic brushes, with the added bonus that no animals were hurt in the process.

There are numerous reasons why you should switch to vegan makeup brushes or cruelty-free makeup brushes and some of them are the following:

• Less Shedding and Longer Lasting

Many natural animal hair brushes shed. The animal hair is shorn or questionably gathered from the animal and washed and bunched together, tied and glued. The hairs gathered come in different lengths and with different amounts of hair shaft strength. The hair length and breakage are unpredictable as is the case when dealing with any animal hair product. If you use natural cosmetic brushes, these animal hairs inevitably land on your face. Synthetic vegan brushes avoid this issue all together as the hairs are all synthetic, manufactured at the same strength and length to allow gathering, tying and gluing into the brush handle. Synthetic vegan brushes shed very little if at all and last years longer than animal hair cosmetic brushes.

• Cruelty-Free Beauty

All things being equal, one should always choose to do no harm. By choosing vegan makeup brushes, you are voting with your wallet and removing yourself from supporting an industry that hurts and harms animals unnecessarily. 

• Hypoallergenic and Very Safe for Sensitive Skin

Some people have allergies to animal hair. If you are one of them, vegan makeup brushes are the best choice for you. No watery eyes or sniffles once you apply for makeup. Additionally, animal hair brushes are intrinsically more difficult to sanitize than the synthetic, vegan cosmetic brush alternative. Additionally, they are much less likely to harbor bacteria and are more ideal for use with wet, liquid or gel cosmetics.

·        Synthetic Bristles Come a Long Way

The best quality synthetic brushes are as soft (and sometimes softer) than natural animal hair bristles. While you will get what you pay for with these brushes, the priciest vegan makeup brushes cost less than some premium quality natural hair bristle brushes.

• Easy to Find

Many people are already aware of animal cruelty and for this reason, more companies are making vegan makeup brushes. In fact, you can find them everywhere. You do not need to go to some hunt for several hours online just to find them. Today, animal cruelty awareness continues to grow. So, finding vegan makeup brushes isn’t challenging as you may think.

• Easy to Clean

Vegan makeup brushes are very easy to clean. All you have to do is to use a small amount of natural shampoo to clean the bristles in the sink, massage the bristles in soapy water until the water runs clear, then lay flat to air dry. Your makeup brushes will last long and your skin will be much happier.

Once you switch to vegan makeup brushes, you can confidently brush off an unfounded belief that animal makeup brushes are superior. They are NOT and fortunately, you don’t need to compromise your own beauty routine or values to have flawless makeup application because your vegan makeup brushes can do the trick in beautifully.
