Makeup Brush

[Loucurr]

I have seen shaving brushes but are there kits for makeup brushes. My wife uses one similar to the shaving brush but I don't believe that it is the same.

They are different. Arizona Silhouette's has some.
Penn State used to have some but I don't see them listed anymore.

That's funny, first saw the title of this thread and got excited thought some one found them. My wife made some for gifts this past Christmas. Got them from penn state.

Tried to get more they have been discontinued. Arizona Silhouette's may have a couple left in the black finish (I think) but along with everyone else is out of stock. Becasue they got their supply from Penn State.

Penn State's excuse is they didn't sell good. But it seems like no one was able to keep them in stock YOU FIGURE.

The Golden Nib a vendor here on IAP has some they are more $$$ then the others but appear to be a better brush.

If you find some please pass on the information to me.

Thanks for the info...any tricks or pointers for making a handle/knob for one of these?

I buy my brushes from Coastal Scents. They have a 40% or 50% sale a few times each year so I stock up then.

Since the brush heads are odd sizes, I drill the hole for the brush head with a forstner bit. I then adjust the hole with a small bent hollowing tool according to the brush head. I shape the handle, flip it around and mount it in a chuck with some 1" pin jaws in expansion mode and then finish off the bottom. I use a beeswax/mineral oil finish that is easily reapplied buy the buyer.

Here are a few I've made...
