MAC Are Changing Their Brush Collection Entirely

MAC Cosmetics, the old reliable, has survived through the makeup revolution of new products entering the market over the last few years.

With new brands coming and going, one thing MAC seem to hold the title for is brushes, specifically their eye brushes.

However, MAC have appear to have contradicted the sacred “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” saying, announcing that they will be revamping their entire brush collection, making the change from natural, animal hair brushes to completely synthetic.

Global senior artist for MAC Dominic Skinner made the announcement via his Instagram, stating that although he was apprehensive about the change (which we can imagine most people are), he stands by the fact that MAC still have the best brushes.

In his post, Dominic shows us a comparison of some of our old favourites next to their new versions. The new brushes will have an “S” beside their individual numbers and will be made with 100 per cent synthetic hair.

So what’s the difference between natural hair and synthetic hair brushes? Well, synthetic is known for being better when working with liquid and cream products because they absorb less product. However, natural hair tends to be softer and work better with powder products.

We’ll just have to put these new brushes to the test! What do you think of the change?
