Natural Vs. Synthetic
Synthetic: Tends to be less pricey, I use these for my lip brushes. The waxes/gloss of lip colors are harder to get out of your brushes, so I never use a lip brush on an eye, it will forever have that waxy feeling, so leave lips for lips. Most synthetics brushes are made from Taklon or Nylon, they are not as absorbent and doesn't trap or distribute the color as well as natural bristles( when it comes to powders). They also tend to get stiffer with uses. I like my lip brushes to be a little stiff so I have more control of where the color goes.
Natural: It is proven that natural bristles absorb and deliver more effectively. However the quality of the hair is a giant factor. My personal fav is badger hair( pictured). It blends well, giving you a smoother application. Squirrel hair is the softest of the naturals, and for me all I can picture,when its comes to squirrel, is someone holding the squirrel and brushing it with a giant horse grooming brush! I don't know why this image is in my head, but it is. Squirrel hair false eyelashes are F*N gorgeous!
Natural brushes can last a lifetime if taken care of properly, it is a smart investment for anyone.
Some of my favorite brushes are by Award winning make up artist, Ve Neil, has the best brushes around, I do not know how she did it, but man, these brushes are fantastic! Ve has a beauty set as well as a great special effects set for all you Pro's.
And of course we all know MAC makes a mean brush.
