Plato once wrote that “a woman without paint is like food without salt”. Indeed, the great philosopher was right. Women, even during the ancient times apply makeup on their faces. They already had this idea that to enhance their beauty; they need to put color on their faces.
The history of makeup could be traced back to the ancient Egyptians, but it does not mean that they were the first people to use makeup. They were only the first people who documented the importance of makeup as part of the culture. Because of the Egyptians’ awareness for soft skin and seductive eyes, they used natural ingredients like unguent, kohl, hydrating substance, and soot to beautify the skin and their appearance.
With the passage of time, cosmetics like face makeup have evolved too. Nowadays, we can find varied brand names of makeup in the market-all of them promise to beautify and enhance the appearance and conceal the evidence of aging in the woman’s face. From eye shadow, foundation, lipstick, eye lash enhancer, blush on, and primer, name it the market has something for you.
Among the popular makeup brands in the market, Mac cosmetics are among the top list particularly the Mac Brushes. In this article, let us identify what makes the Mac Brushes the favorite Mac Cosmetics products.
So, what makes Mac makeup brushes different from any other makeup brush on the market? Also, why the fuss about makeup brushes when, in fact, a brush is just a brush? Is it?
One of the best characteristic of Mac brushes is the material from which the brush is made. While the majority of the makeup brushes are made from animal hair, the Mac brushes, on the other hand, are made from synthetic fibers.
Let us see the why people love to use Mac makeup brush.
Animal Hair
Without a doubt, makeup brushes made from animal hair are easier to control during application, blend, and create a natural look without the fear of contamination from using your fingers. However, its downside lies on the idea that the strands of hair comes from THE animals. Even if manufacturers claim that no animals were harmed when the furs were collected, still it cannot be denied that animals like squirrel, goat, sheep or horse were hurt or even killed when those strands of hair on your makeup brush were collected. Don’t tell me that the animals were comfortably sitting on the couch during the process of collecting the hair.
Synthetic Fiber
On the other hand, the synthetic brushes are better than the animal hair because such materials are hypoallergenic and are safe for women with sensitive skin. Also, they don’t harbor bacteria like animal hair does; thus, you are assured of a soft and clean brush.
There are women who are allergic to animal hair, and most of them don’t know it. Brushes with synthetic fibers don’t cause harm to skin that brushes with animal hair do.
With all that said, I can conclude that; indeed, Mac makeup brushes are way better than any other makeup brushes available. It is not only vegan friendly, but eco-friendly, as well!
