SilkLume — Premium Vegan Makeup Brushes, Small Batch & Private Label

Built for brands your size

Most suppliers sell you a dream and deliver a delay. We would rather lose the order than lie about a number.

"I can't tell which suppliers are actually real."

Factory-direct, and verifiable

We are based 40 km from Qingxian. We walk the floor, send you photos and video of your own run, and will do a live video walk-through before you pay anything.

"'Vegan' printed on the box isn't proof."

Certified synthetic fiber only

Our partner factories run 100% synthetic fiber lines — no animal hair. The fiber certificate comes with your order; further certifications we arrange at cost.

"Minimums are always a surprise after I've invested time."

Straight numbers, up front

Custom runs start at 3,000 pieces per style. Stock styles with your own packaging can go lower. Tell us your target quantity and we will tell you honestly what is possible.

"Lead times slip and nobody warns me."

Realistic dates, not hopeful ones

35-45 days production, plus transit. We confirm the date in writing before deposit, and if anything slips you hear it from us first — not from a tracking number.

Our numbers, side by side

What brands usually hear — compared to what we will actually put in writing.

We do not operate a U.S. warehouse yet. If fast domestic replenishment is what you need today, we will say so and tell you who can do it — rather than promise something we cannot deliver.

What we make

Four core categories, each fully customizable in fiber, ferrule, handle, logo and packaging.

Face Brushes

Kabuki, foundation, powder, blush, contour and fan brushes in dense soft synthetic fiber.

Eye Brushes

Blending, shader, angled liner, pencil, smudge and brow — precise tips that hold their shape.

Brush Sets & Kits

Curated 5- to 15-piece collections with matching pouches, paper boxes or eco canvas bags.

Private Label

Your logo, your colors, your packaging. Silk screen, laser engraving, hot foil stamping and custom Pantone matching.

What your fingers will notice first

Product photos are easy to make beautiful. These four things are not — and every one of them can be checked by hand in ten seconds.

Close-up of four production brush heads — foundation, angled detail, domed blending and flat shader — Heads from a current production run. Shown in black and white with colour removed — nothing else retouched. We photograph what we actually make, not a render.

Check 01

Tapered tips, not cut flat

Look at the tip under a lamp. A good head tapers to a fine point at every bristle; a cheap one looks like it was trimmed with scissors. Ask us to show you on camera before you order.

Check 02

Ferrule crimped, not glued

The metal collar is mechanically crimped. Hold the handle, twist the head — it should not budge or squeak. Glued ferrules fail in the first month of use, usually with someone else's customer holding the brush.

Check 03

Weight where your hand is

A brush should balance just above the grip, not in the middle of the handle. We will send you the exact weight in grams per style before production, so your spec sheet is not a guess.

Check 04

Survives the wash test

Wash it five times with real brush soap and let it dry head-down. The shape should return. If a head blooms or sheds after five washes, it will do the same in your customer's bathroom.

Want to run these four checks yourself? We will send physical samples — you pay the courier, and it comes off your first order.

How it works

From first message to delivered inventory — four steps, no surprises.

Tell us the vision

Send reference photos, a mood board or a spec sheet. We will tell you honestly what is feasible and what it costs.

Approve samples

Pre-production samples quoted per project, before you pay a deposit. Nothing goes into production until you have held it in your hand.

Production & QC

35-45 days, with pull-testing, ferrule crimping checks and color-fastness inspection at every stage.

Ship, cleared and documented

FOB or DDP to your door or your 3PL. Export declaration, VAT invoice and fiber certificates travel with the shipment.

Compliance, stated honestly

Clean-beauty claims are easy to make and expensive to fake. We list what we can document today — and tell you plainly which ones we would need to arrange for you.

100% Vegan Synthetic Fiber No Animal Hair Synthetic Fiber Certificate Included FSC Wood Handles (available) Factory Audit Reports on Request Additional Certs Arranged at Cost

Need a specific certification for your market or retailer? Tell us which one. We will get you the real cost and the real timeline — we do not claim badges we cannot produce a document for.
