Synthetic vs. Natural brushes?

I'm looking at maybe getting the Mr. Bunny Sigmax brush set (I just really want the large powder brush!! 😁). BUT--aren't some brushes better for application when they are natural fibers? What are some examples of brushes where you prefer natural fibers over the synthetic?

You can usually use synthetic brushes with liquid, cream & powder. But natural hair is for powder only.

Yup! I agree with Marleen :) I like synthetic for both but natural hair only works with powder! I would prefer natural hair VS synthetic hair for my blush and bronzer brushes. :)

Synthetic brushes release product at a lot faster rate than natural. For a powder brush, go natural. You'll have more control on application.

Thanks Desiree--very helpful! I'll probably get a natural blush brush as well.
