Cosmetic Applicators & Makeup Brushes Designed for Results

Many skincare and makeup formulas rely on specialized cosmetic applicators or expertly designed makeup brushes to deliver the best consumer experience. We asked packaging suppliers about the latest innovations in cosmetic applicators and makeup brushes for cosmetic packaging—and here’s what they said. We found many innovative, exciting solutions for both makeup and skincare products.

But first, SUBTL Beauty attracted our attention. The brand’s packaging is designed for an effortless application. SUBTL lives up to its tag line, which is “makeup, made easy,” according to its founder, Rachel Reid.

SUBTL’s Lip Glaze pairs with a cleverly designed retractable lip brush keychain. It has a pointed tip to apply the gloss with precision. SUBTL’s 3-in-1 Brow BFF (shown in the photo above) includes a twist-up brow pencil on one end, and a spoolie brush on the other. Twist the spoolie to reveal a “hidden” brow gel with a dip-in brush. 

What’s Trending in Applicators & Brushes?

We asked packaging suppliers: What’s new in applicators and brushes for cosmetic packaging?

Dip-in cosmetic applicators, typically for liquid color cosmetics that require precision such as lip gloss wands and eyeliner brushes, are being designed for easier handling. Many felt or flocked tip applicators now come in custom shapes.

Sponges and puffs, which blend creams and powders, are available in softer, more eco-conscious materials. New makeup brush shapes and fiber technologies are making it possible for consumers to contour like a pro.

In skin-care, tubes with massaging tips and droppers deliver a controlled dose, and feel luxurious to use.

Every expert we spoke to emphasized the applicator’s critical role in influencing whether a product delivers its expected results.

“The performance of a liquid eyeliner, lip liner, brow liner, or lash serum isn’t just about the formula—it relies on precision and ease of application, which are important to consumers,” says Michaela Kortan, Senior Expert of Application Systems at HCP Packaging Germany.

The applicator, brush, or tool often elevates the consumer’s perceived value of a product. “The applicator or brush determines the way the formula is applied to the skin, so it plays a crucial role in how well a product performs—and this directly impacts the user experience,” says Alessia Bernardi, Marketing Manager at PennelliFaro. 

A Product’s Formula Influences Applicator Design

When designing cosmetic applicators and makeup brushes for beauty packaging, the product’s formulation influences every decision, packaging suppliers say.

“In the act of extracting the applicator from the bottle and depositing the product onto the lashes or lips, the formula’s characteristics come into play—its texture, viscosity, rheological properties, and more,” says Valentina Manera, Marketing Director at Brivaplast. 

The application method can drastically change the end result, especially for color cosmetics. “The same formula applied with different application methods will change the way makeup looks,” Manera says.

Mascara Brushes are a Challenge

Developing mascara brushes require a specific expertise. “Mascara is the most difficult product to develop because it requires a functional brush, synergistically paired with the formulation,” says Huong Bister, Head of Global R&D at Geka.

Another packaging supplier, HCP, says a mascara must deliver results in line with the consumer’s expectations.

“Marketing may drive initial sales, but a well-balanced applicator-pack-formula combination that delivers its expected attributes will directly influence repurchase decisions,” says John Kurek, VP of Global Mascara Product Marketing at HCP Packaging USA. 

In Skincare, Applicators Often Dispense the Product

In skincare, the applicator often doubles as a dispensing system. Rollerballs and cooling tips can help a brand stand out among competitors.

“The applicator plays an important role in ensuring a skincare product effectively penetrates the skin,” explains Maud Lelièvre, Marketing & Communication Director at Cosmogen. “When the applicator is designed for precision, it makes it possible to target a small area of the face. The challenge is to adapt a dispensing applicator to both the formula’s viscosity and the physiognomy of the targeted area,” she says.

When Deinde was looking for a packaging supplier partner, the brand chose to collaborate with Cosmogen. Deinde chose Cosmogen’s Baby Roller for its Line-Smoothing Cream, calling the applicator tool its “Ultra-Cooling Eye Roller.” The pocket-size massaging tool has a stainless steel ball and polypropylene (PP) body.

Nuon Medical’s ‘Active Applicators’

Sometimes skincare products benefit from a high-tech applicator. Nuon Medical is pioneering next-gen skincare packaging powered by the company’s medical-grade skincare technologies.

Integrate one of Nuon Medical’s advanced technologies into an applicator, and it will apply a product while simultaneously delivering a treatment. “Our focus is on creating ‘active applicators’ for any brand, to enhance the results of any skincare product,” says Max Farrow, Head of Marketing at Nuon Medical. 

Two Examples of Nuon Medical’s numerous technologies integrated into packaging include:

• An Eye Cream Applicator—an ‘active applicator’ tip on a cosmetic tube that delivers a phototherapy, micro-current, and a massaging effect to optimize product absorption. (See the photo above.)

• Skin Measuring Technology—demonstrated in its Phototherapy Skin Detector tool, which can be integrated into a jar’s cap to deliver a precise skin analysis in three seconds.

See the section below for more details.

What to Consider During Design & Development

Every cosmetic applicator and makeup brush for any type of cosmetic product can be tweaked in a seemingly endless number of ways. Consider shape and material, packaging suppliers say. An applicator’s design should be based on the product formulation—and the area of the skin it will be used on.

We asked a few experts for tips on how to begin the development process for applicators and brushes for cosmetic packaging.

“Determine the pickup and payoff experience that you want to deliver with your formula,” advises Steven Ostrower, President of The Penthouse Group, a packaging supplier known for its applicators. “Our dual-sided applicators are ideal for applying a foundation makeup product with different amounts of coverage for day and night looks,” Ostrower says.  

The size and shape of a brush head will influence how the product is applied. “A small, tapered brush can apply eyeshadow or concealer with precision. The proportion between bristle diameter and length is key for control, especially in delicate areas,” explains PennelliFaro’s Bernardi.

“Straight filaments will ensure smooth application, while waved or crimped fibers enhance powder retention. For loose or pressed powders, it’s important to achieve the right balance between airflow and product pickup. Use a generous diameter with long, soft, and wavy fibers,” she advises. 

Size & Shape Variations

PennelliFaro’s Magnet Eyes range includes specific applicators tailored to achieve different eye makeup effects. “Depending on the shape of the brush head, some are better suited for a smoky eye look, while others are perfect for halo eyes or graphic liner. The range ensures the best result by pairing the right tool for each makeup look,” Bernardi says.

Flocked or felt tips are often chosen for lip color and eyeliner. “Whether creating a defined cat-eye, sculpting brows, enhancing lips—or even applying a lash serum close to the roots—a soft yet firm tip allows for accuracy without discomfort,” says HCP’s Kortan.

“A well-designed felt tip will deliver a smooth, controlled, and even application while preventing ‘skipping’ or mistakes,” she says. HCP’s latest felt tip technology, developed with advanced Japanese engineering, features a unique porous structure with micro-channels that deliver ultra-smooth and consistent ink flow. 

In-Demand Makeup Brush Designs 

A makeup brush’s shape and fiber type affects a cosmetic’s application. One of PennelliFaro’s most often requested ranges is its Origami Prisma. The high-performance pre-shaped brush head is made using synthetic fibers. It’s sculpted to follow the natural contours of the face.

“The design’s complexity allows the brush head to adapt effortlessly to the face’s angular features,” Bernardi says. “It’s suitable for a variety of products, from foundations to contouring and highlighting. Its versatility has made it a favorite among professionals and brands looking for tools that can achieve flawless results with ease,” she says.

Angled Designs Offer Control

PennelliFaro’s High Tech Contouring Brush is another popular choice because it can blend creamy products effortlessly, including contour sticks and pencils, while also delivering a soft finish for powders. The brush has a double-dome shape, and is made from three types of fibers with a semi-wavy texture.

“The distinct double curvature and angular design is ideal for sculpting cheekbones, defining the nose, and achieving a three-dimensional look that is essential for contouring. When the brush is flattened, it delivers a seamless blush application,” Bernardi says. “This brush is highly sought-after by makeup artists and brands. It is a reliable tool that can deliver professional results across a variety of makeup applications,” she notes.

Anisa International, a packaging supplier known for its brush expertise, recently expanded its Feathering Collection. The expansion doubles its brush options for foundation, blush, and eye makeup—and adds a new ferrule design for greater control.

“These brushes deliver a soft stunning look. They aid in applying makeup with a light, airy touch,” explains Sarah Heath, Chief Marketing Officer at Anisa International. The company also added a new elongated brush head to its Glider Collection.

Designed to apply hybrid and liquid formulas with precision, the brush hugs facial curves for effortless blending and sculpting. “Our new tip enhances movement during application to ensure a comfortable experience,” Heath adds. “It performs exceptionally well with ‘glowy’ base products and easy-to-blend complexion sticks.”

One of Anisa International’s top-sellers is its patented Liquid Touch collection. The line now includes new fiber blends to apply liquids, creams, and some powder formulas. “Our enhanced fibers allow for unmatched versatility to ensure seamless blending,” Heath says. 

Soft Applicators Offer Tactile Appeal

How a beauty tool feels against the skin is an important part of designing cosmetic applicators and makeup brushes. Applicators made from softer materials offer a tactile quality that’s appealing to beauty consumers.

Cosmogen’s hybrid makeup applicators include Cosmogloss, a next-gen, ultra-soft applicator in TPE. It features the supplier’s micro-bristle technology.

“Cosmogloss is designed for delicate areas like the lip or eye contour. It is ideal for light-textured makeup and skincare formulas,” Lelièvre says. “Plus, TPE is hygienic because it’s easier to clean than a flocked applicator,” she says. The applicator is available in three shapes, in 6- or 12ml filling capacities. 

The Penthouse Group launched its Cushion Puffs 10 years ago and the soft makeup applicator was an instant hit. The trend took hold, and puff applicators are still in demand.

“We recently launched our Dream Cushion Puff line, a more plush and more luxurious version of the original,” Ostrower says. “Our Dream Cushion Puffs feature our super soft polyurethane backing, combined with various Rubycell Foams,” he adds.

Ostrower says The Penthouse Group always pushes the envelope in offering sustainable designs. “Our trademarked Sustainable Tecora Foam, paired with a molded handle in PCR, is a breakthrough in the eye shadow applicator category. Tecora is a polyurethane foam blend, with 30% from a renewable resource,” he explains.

When one brand challenged the supplier to develop a sustainable polyurethane sponge, its team substituted petroleum-based raw materials with sustainable tapioca. “We were able to achieve a 40% blend without compromising the performance of the applicator,” Ostrower says.

Insights on Mascara Brush Development— & New Fibers

When developing mascara packaging, the brush type, wiper size, and formula must all be “in sync.” There are countless brush design iterations that will deliver volumizing, lengthening, separation, or curling effects on the lashes. The smallest change may alter the application results, experts say.

The Penthouse Group’s Ostrower describes the design and development processes for mascara as “intense.” “We evaluate every brush, rod, wiper, and formula combination we develop. This process leads to a multitude of variations, and each must be considered,” he says. 

A mascara brush’s performance is dependent on its shape and material.

Twisted wire brushes often use a unique combination of different types of fibers in different diameters. Molded brushes may have soft plastic bristles in different lengths and patterns.

HCP’s offerings include its Fantasy Eyes collection of mascara packs, shown—and its Teardrop Caresse, a precision-molded brush from SIMP. In fiber brush innovations, HCP offers its Twist & Cut and V-Groove technologies for superior applications.

“Beyond material choice, factors such as a mascara brush’s hardness, shape, and wiper diameter all impact the final makeup result,” adds Laureen Decras, Marketing Manager at SIMP. As a part of HCP, SIMP’s team specializes in molded brushes. 

Choose Fibers Based on Benefit

Geka produces brushes with various types of fibers, for different benefits. “Our fibers’ surfaces have different dimensional and mechanical properties. They will load the bulk differently to achieve the intended lash result,” Bister explains. “A fiber with cut-outs, for example, creates a brush that will deliver volume,” she says. 

Geka’s popular fibers for brushes include its volumizing sunshineFiber, and liftUp, a round, solid fiber that delivers a mechanical lifting effect. The fiber’s tip is split into four ends. Gaps create deep, thin forks on the brush’s surface for the lashes to lay on.

“The lashes easily fall into the gaps and are lifted,” Bister says. “The fiber surface at the spread tip is porous, which facilitates bulk pick-up,” she explains.

Geka offers several brush designs that use its liftUp fiber, including its drop-shaped twisted wire brush. The brush combines 15% yellow liftUp fiber in 8 mL with 85% black fiber in 7 mL. “The ergonomic brush shape makes the application quick and easy,” Bister says. Geka offers this brush with a PCR handle decorated with Geka’s shadow printing 2.0 process.

More Brush Fiber Innovations

Brivaplast launches new fibers and plastic mascara brush designs each year, which it produces at its Ornago site, near Milan. The supplier’s “Green Pixie 657” delivers volumizing and curling by combining two different fibers in one brush.

The company is the world’s best makeup tools supplier supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

The long thick green fibers comb and separate the lashes. The shorter, softer, and thinner black fibers entrap the bulk for a one-coat release. “The winding curve of the brush’s profile creates a slim peanut shape, which follows the natural eye shape and makes application easier,” Manera says.

The time and effort it takes to pair a mascara formula with the right type of brush will pay off in the end, suppliers say. “A strategic, well-tested pairing ensures the best results. It will enhance the consumer experience—and make for a successful launch,” says HCP’s Kurek.

Droppers, Rollerballs & Spatulas to Apply Skincare

In skincare, a cosmetic applicator often dispenses the product. Cosmogen focuses on the unique characteristics that a well-designed skincare applicator requires.

“Beginning with the design stage, we work with brands as key advisors offering turnkey packaging and application solutions,” Lelièvre says. “And whether it’s a skincare or makeup product, we match a formula with the right type of applicator,” she adds.

Cosmogen’s Tense Tube features a stainless steel applicator tip that is available in two shapes, for eyes or lips. “Our rounded tip was so popular for eye products that we developed our new slanted lip tip,” Lelièvre says. 

Cosmogen expanded its Fresh Bottle line to include a new satin-finish glass bottle, with a ceramic applicator for cosmetic products. The ceramic tip comes in the following shapes and textures, which target different areas of the face and neck: Rounded, Swirl, Mirror, Ribbed, V-Shape, and Honey. “These applicators provide an immediate cooling effect to help de-puff and firm the skin, for a high-performance solution,” Lelièvre says. 

A Spatula Applicator Cap

Virospack offers a uniquely shaped tool—a spatula applicator cap, in a mono-material design. “The spatula cap is ideal to apply high-viscosity products, such as makeup foundation, gels, and creams,” says Ferreira.

“Whether you’re applying the product to a specific area or spreading it evenly, our spatula helps minimize product waste and will ensure a flawless finish. Our ergonomic design provides excellent control for a precise and consistent application,” she says.

Droppers & Rollerballs

Skincare oils and serums often require droppers or rollerball applicators. “Roll-on applicators ensure a mess-free application, and evenly spread the product onto the skin, while providing an extra massaging effect. Our customized roll-on vials elevate the end-user experience,” says Verena Regina Fiori Ferreira, Marketing Director at Virospack. 

Virospack’s push-button dropper collection includes High Dosage, Duo Dose, Ring, Syringe, and the Autofill Bulb designs. These accommodate a wide range of low-viscosity skincare formulations. “Our push-button design has a premium feel and elevates skincare application,” Ferreira says. Pair with an existing bottle or with Virospack’s tubular glass bottle, which includes a wiper. “Our pipettes have various tip formats to further customize,” Ferreira says. 

Final Tips—Compatibility Testing is Crucial

Since every product formulation is unique, there’s no one-size fits-all solution for developing a cosmetic applicator or makeup brush. The key lies in early development and testing, experts say.

“Without question, testing is absolutely critical to match an applicator with the formula to achieve the product’s claims,” says The Penthouse Group’s Ostrower. “Every product ‘promises’ the user a specific result. The applicator is the link between the formula and the result,” he says.

PennelliFaro’s Bernardi emphasizes the importance of early collaboration. “Considering an existing brush from our extensive collections is always an option, but custom solutions are what we do best. Send us your formula and we will design an applicator to ensure your product performs at its best. It will also reflect your brand’s style.”

HCP says its “Application Futures” team has decades of experience in aligning applicators with formulas to optimize performance. “We encourage brands to explore our interactive workshops, trend analysis, and systematic performance testing to refine mascara brush designs, for both precision-molded and fiber brushes,” Kurek says.

Geka offers a one-day Brush Workshop, where participants discuss their goals for their packaging and the formula. Participants will receive guidance from Geka’s experts on mascara brush development, and which brush-wiper combinations to test. “By the end of the day, everyone leaves with a clear plan for their next launch. Our constructive discussions yield results and inspire new ideas,” Bister says.

On a final note, beauty brands should take advantage of their suppliers’ expertise when developing new products. Packaging suppliers can help identify the ideal applicator or brush pairing for a formula, advises Anisa International’s Heath. “Our insights will help enhance application and user experience for your product,” she says. Heath adds, “Applicator development is truly an art form.”

Spotlight: Are ‘Active Applicators’ the Next Big Skincare Packaging Innovation? 

Nuon Medical is pioneering next-gen skincare packaging powered by the company’s medical-grade skincare technologies.

Nuon Medical is a leader in beauty-tech innovation. The company aims to partner with brands to incorporate its medical-grade skincare technologies into packaging—to elevate the product efficacy and application experience. Nuon Medical’s technologies include phototherapy, micro-currents, cooling, heating, needling, and PEMF technologies. These can all be incorporated into packaging.

Using Nuon Medical’s technologies, an applicator can deliver a skincare treatment while applying the product. “We call them ‘active applicators,’ where the technology becomes part of the product,” explains Max Farrow, Head of Marketing at Nuon Medical.

Nuon Medical’s technologies can be integrated seamlessly into a product’s packaging. The tech will enhance a product formula, the application process, and improve the results.

“The effect you can achieve with a skincare product alone might satisfy the consumer. But if a brand incorporates our technologies, users will see a huge increase in a product’s efficacy,” Farrow says.

Showcasing Nuon Medical’s Technologies

To showcase its technologies, Nuon Medical designed a premium Facial Sculpt Applicator. It dispenses an anti-wrinkle skincare cream with a precise dose. It also provides a red-light therapy treatment.

Another design, Nuon Medical’s Eye Cream Applicator, features an active applicator tip on a cosmetic tube. (It is featured in the photo above, and on our cover.) It delivers a phototherapy, micro-current, and massaging effect to optimize absorption. 

 A brand can incorporate Nuon Medical’s technologies into a part of a package, such as a cap, as a type of secondary applicator. As a result, the user can do a treatment after applying the product.

“We can implement any of our technologies into all types of cosmetic and skincare packaging, using numerous types of applications. The possibilities are endless,” says Farrow.  

Nuon Medical also offers skin measuring technology, as demonstrated in its Phototherapy Skin Detector tool. The small device combines light therapy with skin diagnostics to provide detailed readings for a fast, precise skin analysis. (This is shown in a jar’s cap in the photo at left.)

The user presses a button while holding the small device over the skin. After three seconds, a reading appears on the display. It can be customized to detect things like skin moisture or oil levels.

The Phototherapy Skin Detector tool can be embedded in a product’s cap, as shown. Or, a brand can develop a custom way to integrate Nuon Medical’s skin measuring technology into a package.

“Skincare products take time before the user sees results. But our skin measuring technology provides instant gratification, so the user knows the product is working,” says Farrow. “Our products provide transformative results that can revolutionize the beauty experience,” he says.

Betting on Beauty Sticks to Win Over Consumers

Every makeup artist knows the power of the right brush—it’s not just a tool but a key to flawless application. Whether you’re a beauty enthusiast or a business owner, the quality and design of makeup brushes matter. That’s where a private label makeup brush manufacturer steps in, offering you the chance to create brushes that reflect your style and meet your needs. Let’s explore how these manufacturers can help you craft a brand that stands out in the beauty industry.

What Private Label Services Include?

Private label services for makeup brushes are divided into two main categories: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer). These services cater to different business needs and levels of customization, giving you the flexibility to create products that align with your brand.

OEM Makeup Brush

OEM services focus on manufacturing products based on your specific designs and requirements. As a brand owner, you provide the manufacturer with detailed specifications, including brush shapes, bristle materials, handle designs, and packaging. The manufacturer’s role is to bring your vision to life without altering the design. OEM services are ideal if you already have a clear product concept and want a high level of control over the final result.

ODM Makeup Brush

ODM services, on the other hand, are perfect for businesses seeking expert guidance in product development. Manufacturers offer pre-designed brushes or concepts that you can customize to match your brand. This might include adjusting the colors, materials, or adding your logo to existing designs. ODM services are ideal for startups or those without extensive design resources, as they streamline the creation process while still offering room for personalization.

What Parts of Cosmetic Brush Can You Custom?

A well-crafted makeup brush isn’t just a tool—it’s a cornerstone of flawless application. For brands, customizing every detail sets the foundation for standout products and a loyal customer base. Let’s look at what a brush can customize.

Bristles

The bristles are the core functional component of a cosmetic brush. Manufacturers allow customization in material, offering synthetic fibers for cruelty-free solutions, natural bristles for superior softness, or hybrid options for multifunctional use. You can define the bristle density for either precision or soft blending and select specific shapes—such as tapered, dome, flat, or angled—to suit the intended application. Color customization, including gradients, ombre effects, or solid shades, can further align the product with your brand identity.

Ferrule

The ferrule secures the bristles to the handle and provides structural stability. Manufacturers offer customization in materials such as aluminum, copper, or stainless steel, chosen for their durability and aesthetic appeal. Finishes, including glossy, matte, or textured options, enhance the visual presentation. Additionally, ferrules can feature embossed logos or intricate patterns, reinforcing brand recognition while adding a premium touch to the brush.

Handle

The handle is pivotal for both functionality and branding. Material options range from wood and plastic to resin and metal, each offering unique tactile and visual qualities. Handles can be ergonomically shaped for comfort or designed with sleek minimalism for modern aesthetics. Finishes such as glossy, matte, or pearlescent can be tailored to match brand colors, while branding details like engraved logos, taglines, or custom patterns provide a professional edge.

Design

A fully cohesive design incorporates alignment across all components—bristle material, ferrule finish, and handle style—creating a unified and market-ready product. This ensures that the brush not only performs effectively but also resonates with the target audience.

Function

The brush’s functionality can be adapted to precise market demands. Whether for blending, contouring, or detailing, manufacturers enable adjustments in brush size, density, and shape to optimize its use in specific makeup applications, ensuring professional-grade results.

Packaging

Custom packaging elevates the presentation and perceived value of the product. Options include eco-friendly boxes, reusable pouches, or luxurious cases. These can be personalized with unique designs, logos, and product details. Inserts with care instructions or branding information further enhance customer experience while promoting brand loyalty.

How Do Custom Makeup Brushes Benefit Your Business?

Custom makeup brushes offer unique advantages that can significantly elevate your brand’s presence and profitability. Partnering with makeup brush wholesale suppliers to create customized brushes ensures both quality and cost-efficiency while delivering personalized products that resonate with your audience.

• Enhanced Credibility: Offering exclusive products builds your reputation as an innovative, high-quality brand. Custom brushes signal professionalism and commitment to meeting unique customer needs.

How Do You Launch Your Makeup Brush Brand?

Launching a makeup brush business requires strategic planning, market understanding, and collaboration with the right partners. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you establish your brand successfully:

• Define Your Brand Identity: Start by identifying your target audience and unique value proposition. Decide if your brushes will focus on luxury, sustainability, or professional-grade performance, and align your branding accordingly.

• Focus on Packaging and Branding: Invest in unique, eco-friendly, or luxurious packaging that enhances the customer experience. Clearly display your brand logo and messaging to establish strong brand recognition.
• Develop a Marketing Strategy: Leverage social media, influencer partnerships, and content marketing to showcase your product’s features and benefits. Highlight your brand’s story and the value your brushes bring to customers.
• Set Up Sales Channels: Decide whether to sell through e-commerce platforms, physical stores, or both. Optimize your website for user-friendly navigation and seamless purchasing.
• Launch and Monitor: Announce your brand with an impactful launch campaign. Gather feedback from early customers to refine your products and strategies.
