1. What is the difference between synthetic and natural hair?

Natural brushes are made of animal hair, such as sable, squirrel, or goat. They are apt for blending products seamlessly and creating a smooth, even, non-blotchy finish, and they are the best choice for powder-based products. Synthetic brushes have man-made hairs of nylon, polyester or other materials. They don't readily absorb oils or powdery pigments and are best for cream and liquid products, or any application that requires precision.

2. Do they really blend better?

Using brushes that help you in the blending process are best when wanting to fix any kind of makeup mistake, and help your product last longer too. Brushes are always better to use than fingers when applying foundation and concealer, as they are able to evenly spread the makeup on the face. Eyeshadow brushes have angles and cuts that help target specific areas and create special eye makeup looks. So all of these qualities enable brushes to be the best blending tools at your disposal.

5. How often do you have to wash them?
