What goes on in the process of creating makeup brushes made of animal hair?I need some good quality and low priced makeup brushes. I found a really good set but it's made from the following animal hair: Goat/Pony/Sable/Raccoon/Taklon
What do they do to aquire the hair for the brushes? Do they kill them?
Also,
not sure where you are located but Eco Tools are GREAT brushes and I prefer them over my goat hair brushes. Taklon is synthetic as well btw. Eco tools are vegan and made of bamboo and recycled aluminum as well as non animal hair :) and it's cheap. You

Remember blush is an instant shot of vibrancy (The late and great Estee Lauder once said that every woman could use another dab of it), so make sure your makeup bag is stocked with a good blush brush.
New to these shores is an American range of make-up brushes called ecoTOOLs that are both good for the planet and good with your face paint. The brushes have bamboo handles and taklon, cruelty-free brushes, while the metal part of the brush is made
