“So MAC makeup brushes are becoming 100% synthetic with all current MAC brushes converting to man made fibre and new brushes being added to the line up. MAC’s Global Senior Artist Dominic Skinner explained the company’s choice in an Instagram post, even shutting down skepticism about quality before there was room for debate. Synthetic brushes are renowned for not only being animal-free but also for absorbing less product upon application and being the optimal material to use with cream makeup. “Introducing our 100% synthetic brushes, incorporating the latest innovations in fibre technology for superior performance and improved longevity.”Īll of the new synthetic brushes will have an ‘S’ printed on them after the brush number to allow consumers to distinguish between the two types. “Our long-lauded brush line gets treated to a makeover!” MAC wrote in a statement.

From animal testing, using animal ingredients in cosmetic formulas, and animal hair in its brushes, many conscious consumers and vegans avoid purchasing from the giant cosmetic company.

Until now, MAC has been distinctly animal-heavy. Make-up fanatics rejoice – MAC has officially ditched animal hair from its cosmetic brushes for 100% synthetic fibers.
