As a professional makeup brush manufacturer, we at Gracedo often receive questions from beauty professionals and distributors about how to use bulk brush sets correctly. One of the most common inquiries is whether the same brush set can be used for both cream and powder products. With over 15 years of experience in designing and producing high-quality custom makeup brush sets, we’d like to share some practical insights that can help you make better decisions for your brand or business.
Understanding the Difference Between Cream and Powder Formulas
Before deciding whether a brush can handle both formulas, it’s important to understand the nature of each product type. Cream-based products, such as foundations and blushes, are thicker and contain oils that can easily cling to the bristles. Powder products, on the other hand, are dry and require brushes that can distribute product evenly without leaving streaks. Using the same brush for both cream and powder formulas may affect application results and even shorten the brush’s lifespan. That’s why, when producing our wholesale makeup brush sets, we carefully select materials suitable for different cosmetic textures.
The Role of Materials in Multi-Purpose Brush Design
At Gracedo, we pay special attention to material selection. Take our 12PCS Silver Diamond Makeup Brush Set (Model YM2024183) as an example. Each brush is crafted with vegan synthetic fiber bristles, an aluminum ferrule, and a full-diamond plastic handle. Synthetic fibers are especially versatile—they resist absorbing excessive oils and are easy to clean, making them suitable for both cream and powder products when used properly. The aluminum ferrule ensures durability, while the stylish diamond handle offers comfort and visual appeal, perfect for professional and promotional use.
Our production follows strict quality control processes, ensuring every custom makeup brush set passes multiple inspections. This helps maintain the reliability and hygiene required in large-scale wholesale makeup brush sets used by beauty schools, salons, and cosmetic brands worldwide.
Best Practices for Using One Set for Both Formulas
While our brushes are made to be durable and versatile, we still recommend separating brushes by product type whenever possible. For instance, use one foundation brush exclusively for cream products and another for powder applications. If you need to use the same brush for both, thorough cleaning between uses is essential. Wash the brush with mild soap or professional brush cleaner, rinse it well, and allow it to dry completely. This prevents product buildup, maintains soft bristles, and extends the brush’s service life.
At Gracedo, we also provide one-on-one customization support for clients seeking to design sets suitable for specific textures. Whether you need brushes optimized for creamy foundations or fluffy powder brushes for finishing looks, our design team can adjust fiber density, shape, and handle design to meet your needs.
Conclusion: Tailored Solutions for Professional Applications
Using one brush set for both cream and powder products can be possible—if the brushes are made from the right materials and maintained properly.
