DELIBERATE CREATION

Vegan Makeup Brush

Cozzettevegan makeup brushes are made with high quality synthetics that have excellent durability and offers exceptional softness, resilience, and shape retention for maximum artistic ability. Synthetic fibers have unparalleled strength and longevity when compared to their natural hair counterpart.

In recent years, brushes made of synthetic hair filaments have become generally accepted as an excellent alternative to natural hair. Synthetic ‘hair’ is not real hair, but polymer filaments made to look and act like hair. Cozzette, synthetic makeup brushes are constructed using a mixture of filament diameters to achieve shapes and styles that mimic animal hair and are perfect for makeup application.

Our brushes vary in thickness and resilience, the filament comes to a tapered point, and some fibers are crimped or roughened to hold pigments. Just as with natural-hair brushes, Cozzette blends different size synthetic fibers to achieve desired shape and characteristics.

Synthetic brushes can be used with all mediums. Short-handled, soft brushes with snap and spring are preferred for powder and have the strength to move crème color. Making them the most versatile tools in the makeup industry.

CLEANING TECHNIQUES 

To spot clean with Aromatherapy Brush Cleaner, spray a tissue or paper towel with the product and gently swipe the bristles of the brush along the portion of the towel dampened with the solution. Once pigment/product is no longer on your brush, swipe the bristles along the clean/dry portion of the paper until all residue and traces of pigmentation are removed from the fibers. The normal drying time for a spot-cleaned brush is approximately 5 to 10 minutes. The drying time may vary depending on the density of the brush fibers.

To deep clean with Aromatherapy Brush Cleaner, start by submerging the fibers of the brush up to the ferrule (the crimped metal sleeve that attaches the bristles to the handle) in a small Vessel (5inch) lid or cup. Gently agitate the brush in the mixture to reach the core of the bristles and any pigment/product residue will be expelled from the brush. Once your brushes are clean, remove the excess liquid by gently squeezing the bristles (never wring, twist or pull) with a paper towel. Reshape the brush head to its original form and lay flat to dry, preferably over a counter ledge to facilitate equal drying on all sides. The approximate drying time for this procedure is 3 to  5 hours. The drying time may vary depending on the density of the brush fibers.

To reshape synthetic brushes, simply dip them under extremely hot water. This will allow you to return the brush to its original shape. Squeeze out the water and lay flat to dry.

Tips: Often brushes are housed in a brush roll or bag that can smash brushes, bending the fibers. (This problem was the motivation behind the creation of Cozzette Vessels). Makeup Brush Holder Canister
