Beauty tools buying guide
Types of makeup brushes: compare shapes, then sets
Makeup brushes are commonly named by application, head shape or both. A set count tells you how many pieces are included; an itemised list and the head dimensions tell you what you are actually comparing.

Common brush names and what to compare
The table describes common naming conventions, not a confirmed contents list for every Beauuuty set. Individual designs vary, so ask for the intended function of each brush in your selected model.
| Common type | Typical format | Useful buying question |
|---|---|---|
| Powder brush | A larger, fuller head | What are the head width, fibre length and packing density? |
| Blush or contour brush | Rounded or angled head variants | Which profile and dimensions are included? |
| Foundation brush | Flat, rounded or dense buffing formats | Which cosmetic textures is this model intended for? |
| Eyeshadow brush | Smaller flat or rounded head | Is it a placement brush, blending brush or another format? |
| Brow or liner brush | Narrow, angled or fine head | What are the edge width and fibre length? |
| Spoolie or brow comb | Spiral brush or comb teeth | Is this counted as one of the set's pieces? |
Compare the catalogue sets by contents

More pieces do not automatically make a set more suitable. Check whether the assortment contains the head types your collection needs, and how each piece is counted.
Fibres and handles need separate specifications
The supplied descriptions do not establish the fibre composition of every brush. Ask for the fibre material, head dimensions, handle construction and ferrule details. Do not infer synthetic, animal-hair, vegan or hypoallergenic claims from a photograph. Assess feel, construction and care instructions on a sample.
From a brush set to a branded range
Shortlist the brush formats first, then add desired colours, logo placement and packaging references. Use the OEM / ODM brief to ask which customisation options are feasible for your selected model and quantity. Minimums, sampling and development terms need individual confirmation.
Before requesting a quote
Include the model, number of complete sets, intended brush functions, target market and packaging. If two sets have the same piece count, keep their SKUs separate so the team can quote the correct contents. Browse all makeup brushes and brush sets to compare the current catalogue references.
