gorgeous green gadgets

The way we apply makeup has evolved since we smeared kohl across our eyelids with our fingers. In this century, we find that the proper "tools" are as essential as the makeup itself. There are many to choose from and each with a different material and function. Makeup brushes are made using either animal hair or synthetic bristles. Both come in various densities, textures and shapes. Both have their admirers, but synthetic makeup brushes have become increasingly popular with the “green” scene because they offer eco-friendly, non-allergenic and cruelty-free advantages.

Because of the great advantages of sythetics', I decided these were a great place to begin my search for the best makeup brushes. And, over a year later, I found them. Meet Bdellium Tools (pronounced “del-ee-uhm, -yuhm," with a silent "b"), which are among the best of the best. Their cutting edge technology is unique and innovative, and their brushes are handmade by skilled artisans ensuring quality and integrity every time.

Bdellium Tools Green Bamboo collection is made with eco-friendly bamboo handles, anodized aluminum ferrules and all vegan synthetic bristles. Bamboo is fully sustainable due to its rapid re-growth cycle, and can be harvested with virtually no impact in the environment. The ferrule is the metallic ring of the brush that connects the handle to the fibers, and Bdellium’s are anodized for a longer lasting life. The synthetic fibers (or hair) have little to no shedding compared to natural hair, they are easier to clean, are hypoallergenic and provide a gorgeous application. 



Bdellium’s Green Bamboo collection is perfectly priced from $8 - $20 per brush. For more information on makeup brushes and finding the essential ones for you, contact sari@sarimotley.com.
