Kabuki Makeup Brush

Taklon Synthetic Hair  Type

Cosmetics companies make makeup brushes from a synthetic material nylon as opposed to natural hair because this type of bristle provides a smooth and even finish for cream products. (It lacks a cuticle, it can't trap makeup.) Taklon can be created in textures ranging from extremely soft to verycoarse making it perfect for the application of powders, creams and liquids.

Common type of synthetic hair used to apply concealer, cream shadow, cream blush or cream foundation is Taklon. This is a fine-grade nylon that is less absorbent than natural hair.
