A: In makeup, there are a variety of tools that can be used for many different reasons. A brush that may be used for contour can always be used to apply highlighter. As a cruelty-free and vegan brand, all of our brushes are made with synthetic materials. The core line of brushes is perfect for any type of makeup enthusiast from a starter to a pro. Then our Elite Series is “next level.” Although these brushes are made with synthetic bristles, they are super soft, easy to use, and apply makeup seamlessly.
