The Best Vegan Makeup Brushes For Your Makeup Kit and Collection

When choosing makeup brushes for your makeup kit or personal collection, it is important to ensure that they’re built to last and perform.

Over the last seven years, our brush collection has expanded with new and innovative brush solutions for all. Read along to learn all about how our vegan makeup brushes are the perfect choice for elevating your makeup application when working with a variety of different makeup mediums.

In 2015, we released our Black & White Collection, an addition to our core collection of makeup brushes that features varying grades of synthetic fibers made from taklon. This material is a very elastic, durable and a vegan friendly fiber. This smooth grade of taklon is ideal for cream to liquid makeup mediums. This collection offers professional options and diversity with brushes for makeup artists across all genres. Plus, like all of our makeup brushes, each brush is handcrafted, featuring eco-friendly cured birch handles with platinum bowed brass ferrules. This intentional design ensures maximum brush integrity so that the handles and ferrules are designed to stay intact, not loosen, or fall apart.

In 2020, advancements in man-made materials has lead to our newest development of professional makeup brushes: The V Series. This collection has been crafted with a new man-made fiber engineered to deliver a high performance in application for powder makeup mediums. Intentionally crafted, our ultra-soft V Series brings the artist-approved soft feel and application of natural hair bristles to our synthetic collection, providing a vegan alternative to the performance of natural hair. This vegan alternative allows for a controlled pickup and lay down of powder makeup mediums, but is artistically open to all applications. No matter what brush you choose from this collection of eight eye and face brushes, these ultra-soft vegan synthetic fibers will deliver the utmost softest, and seamless blend yet.
