A Brush for Every Need

Makeup brushes aren’t a one-size-fits-all type of accessory – you might be able to accomplish a look with a single brush, but many different types of makeup are designed for different shapes and sizes of brush. At Merle Norman, we have every brush type you’ll need, including angled foundation brushes, eye shadow brushes and even retractable lip brushes to get the perfect cupid’s bow. These makeup brushes can be used in unique ways to apply different types of makeup, and with different levels of angling, stiffness and density, each brush opens up a world of new options.

High-Quality Designs for Makeup Perfection

Of course, having a brush for every type of brush doesn’t matter if the brushes are low-quality. At Merle Norman, our makeup brushes and face brushes are made with a blend of natural hairs and fibers and synthetic ones to best suit different brush types and experiences. The durable wooden body of each brush helps it fit right into your hand and the metal tip holds the fibers of each brush in place without fail. With brush cleaners designed to gently remove makeup from natural and synthetic fibers alike, we can help you keep your brushes pristine.

What is the difference between natural and synthetic makeup brushes?

Natural makeup brushes are often made from animal hair and are known for picking up and blending powder products well. Synthetic brushes are typically better for liquid and cream products, as they don’t absorb as much product and are easier to clean. Many high-quality brushes, including Merle Norman brushes, use a blend of natural and synthetic fibers to offer the best performance across different makeup types.

How often should I clean my makeup brushes?

Makeup brushes should be cleaned regularly to maintain performance and hygiene. Brushes used for liquid or cream products should be cleaned at least once a week, while brushes used for powders can be cleaned every one to two weeks. Using a gentle brush cleaner helps remove buildup without damaging the bristles.

Can I use one makeup brush for multiple products?

While some brushes can be used for multiple purposes, using the right brush for each product generally produces better results. Different brush shapes, densities, and angles are designed to work with specific makeup products, helping ensure smoother application and more precise placement.

How do I make my makeup brushes last longer?

To extend the life of your makeup brushes, clean them regularly, avoid soaking the handles in water, and allow them to dry flat. Proper care helps maintain the shape of the bristles and keeps both natural and synthetic fibers performing their best.
