How we make a brush

Let's introduce you to the world of Raphaël brush making, a craftmanship passed down from generation to generation since 1793. A beautiful depiction of the love and care that goes into making Raphael Brushes, each hand-made like this Raphaël Kolinsky brush

Hello from USA :-) can these brushes be used for eye makeup? Thank you.

[@username2872]

Idk but, I do use make up brush for watercolor 😆

[@brunom72]

@@username2872 thank you for your reply 🙂

These here (Raphael 8404) are artist brushes for painting with watercolours,ink or any thinned paint. That being said, the best make up brushes are made with exactly the same hair bristles like these here! So,even though they are meant for different job,technically they are the same materials used just di7fferent design,for the different purpose. Many artists use many different types of make up brushes,even for blending charcoal and graphite!

@@greekveteran2715 many thanks for your reply, I'll check out the Raphael brush line soon. I'm always looking for those special holy grail brushes that never leave my sight...maybe Raphael's are them 🤞🙂

3:17 anyone know what is this step doing ?? sanding the brush?

[@anaygupta3512]

They are not sand paper rolls they are cotton wipes it is done to remove any loose hairs

[@aadd3162]

thanks i misunderstand they sand the brush tip to maintain that pointy shape

[@aadd3162]

aren't they gluing the brush with that rolls?

[@anaygupta3512]

@@aadd3162 What do you mean?

[@aadd3162]

sry i just curious which step make their brush hold a find point (the brush hair's tip have a natural curl in to the center of the tip)

[@eclectricmagazine]

love seeing the old hands, kinda makes me sad though

[@luf2867]

i bought some 8408 brushes as a lot of people were rconmending them........they were the biggest waste of money ever, complete over hype. they are no better than cheap craft brushes
appart from cheap craft brushes the raphaels i paid £80 for 4 brushes are some of the worst brushes quality wise i own, crimpled hairs, frayed before i even used them, split into a v on the first use.
they are shamefull. and i got them from 3 different places over the space of 2 weeks so i know it wasnt just one damaged lot and that they are just bad quality for the price.
for £20 i expect a brush that is better in quality than a craft pack brush.....its sad because this video is going to make idiots like me buy them believing that they really do put this much care into all their brushes but sadly it is not true at all.

[@onemig00]

That's awful! Were you able to get in touch with the company or the stores?

[@luf2867]

@@onemig00 i emailed them and sent photos but nothing came of it. they just didn't care.....the hair looked frazzled and was covered in some sort of white glue residue/bloom. honestly not worth the price tag.....it's pure hype......so many better brushes out there and when you are spending £20-30+ on a brush you expect the quality.
good quality water brushes do not use glue so their should have been no residue on the brushes at all.

[@ariae]

@@luf2867 You have to rinse them in lukewarm water and apply brush soap and repeat a few times before use. If you use them with the protective "glue" on you'll ruin them in an instant. When you've done this they are some of the snappiest, well shaped brushes I have owned (dating back to 2000 up until today)

[@luf2867]

@@ariae yes i understand that. what i said was they were frazzled and coated with the glue to the point it had ruined the brushes. they looked as though someone let their 3 year old paint with them. they were clearly binners.
i have been painting for 30 years or so and these were more akin to destroyed squirrel mops in snap. and texture. i.e none whatsoever.
the glue was used to reshape and try to disguise the fact the brushes were damaged.
that is not something you expect when paying £20-80 a brush. all 3 of my first order were damaged and so were my other orders direct and they would not replace them.
the manufacture process has become mechanical and no longer hand made like they claim. the quality of the fur has gone down to make more money and their brushes are sub par these days. there are many smaller brush makers that still take pride in and produce a quality brush for the same price if not less. quality is more important than price.
i am glad you have some that are good but i cannot recommend these to anyone in good faith as they are bad quality and cheaply mass produced.

[@anoname6302]

You're just out of luck, most people are very happy with the quality of these brushes, you can't compare a Rolex with a Swatch.
I am the proud owner of the 8404 series, they are absolutely incredible quality
