When it comes to makeup brushes natural bristles are best. Natural animal hair bristles do a better job of Picking up and grabbing the mineral makeup. The bristles are porous therefore they will absorb the makeup deep into the hairs. However many vegetarians or those with sensitivities to animal hair like to use synthetic bristles. Modern technology has enabled these to work just as good as animal hair.
