A Set of Vegan Make-up Brushes (from Bristol)

This beautiful set of vegan make-up brushes is for those of you, who like wearing cosmetics! For around £20, you have a set of brushes that are animal-kind and sustainable, which should last you for years.

Most makeup contains zinc oxide. So always wash it off before letting pets kiss your face! Same with any skincare made with cocoa butter.

This set includes 10 brushes for foundation, eyeshadow, bronze and blusher, with soft bristles and durable bamboo handles. All wraped in a handy drawstring bag, to keep them together.

Light shedding may occur for the first few uses, but it’s no bother! Gently wash them with mild and soap and water now and then, rinse and reshape, before laying flat to dry. Avoid soaking the handles (bamboo is biodegradable, so they may disappear!

Why choose vegan cosmetics brushes?

Many cosmetics brushes use animal hair (mostly from badgers and squirrels), and the animals are often culled or farmed to retrieve it. They also are not very hygenic.

Modern engineering has created beautiful new synthetic materials that are even better, and also more hygienic and kinder. They eliminate the need to shear animals like badgers, squirrels, goats or sables (related to weasels). Same with watercolour paint brushes.

Natural animal hair is also porous, so absorbs and wastes cosmetics, so you also save money by avoiding them. They also hold theier shape better and do not snap or become brittle (and dry faster than real hair).
