Zoeva Makeup Brushes: How to Spot a Counterfeit?

Applying make-up is an art form that requires quality tools to achieve impeccable results. Among these essential tools, make-up brushes play a crucial role. They enable make-up products to be applied precisely, evenly and professionally. Zoeva is one of the leading brands in make-up brushes, renowned for its exceptional quality and wide range of brushes. However, due to the brand's popularity, there are unfortunately some counterfeit products on the market. In this article, we'll share with you some essential tips to help you buy genuine Zoeva make-up brushes. Whether you're a professional make-up artist or an amateur make-up enthusiast, these tips will guide you in your choice and ensure you invest in high-quality, genuine brushes.

 

The labels

 

Also check the labels on the brushes themselves. Genuine Zoeva brushes generally have labels showing the name of the brush, the reference number and the materials used. Make sure the labels are clear, well printed and properly attached. Counterfeit brushes may have labels that are misaligned, blurred or have text errors.

 

The logo 

 

Take a look at the Zoeva logo, which has a number of features that make it easy to spot a counterfeit. Firstly, it generally has a smooth, balanced sans-serif font. The letters are well defined, with clean lines and a professional look.

The latter is often represented in black or white, offering a clear contrast with the background or surface to which it is applied. However, it should be noted that in some cases the logo may also be presented in colour, particularly on special editions or limited collections. It is usually affixed to the handle of the brush, at the end of the handle. It is often discreet and small, allowing the details of the brush to take centre stage.

Finally, make sure the logo is present and well done. Counterfeits can sometimes feature logos that are blurred, misaligned or of poor print quality. A genuine logo is clean, precise and faithful to the brand's official typography.

 

Brush details

 

Pay particular attention to manufacturing details and distinctive features. Genuine brushes are made from high-quality materials, such as soft, resistant synthetic or natural bristles. The bristles should be uniform in length, well attached to the ferrule (metal part) and free from excessive drooping. Synthetic bristles are generally more resistant and suitable for liquid products, while natural bristles are preferable for powders.

Also look at the details of the ferrule and handle. Genuine ferrules are often made of solid aluminium and firmly attached to the bristles. The handles are ergonomic, smooth and comfortable to hold. Original Zoeva brushes often have discreet engravings or markings on the ferrule or handle, indicating the brand name or details of the collection.

 

Certificate of authenticity 

 

It's true that some genuine Zoeva brushes may come with a certificate of authenticity. This document attests to the origin and authenticity of the product. Check whether the seller or brand provides a certificate of authenticity with the brush you want to buy.
