Camel hair brushes are made from several types of soft hair, because real camel hair is too woolly to use in an artist's brush.
Some theories for the misnomer include the desire to make the hairbrushes seem more exotic, and the claim that they were invented by a "Mr. Camel." They are typically made from other animal hairs.
Makeup brushes are still commonly made from squirrel, mink, sable, horse (sometimes called "pony" or "camel"), or goat hair.
Mac cosmetics work best with Camel hair or squirrel hair brushes which are naturally springy and have good retention of makeup materials and powders that they make.
erm Camel Hair?
Camel hair brushes, used by artists, is a generic term for brushes that are made from all different types of hair such as goat, pony or sheep. BUT, the most common and most recognized, is squirrel. (I sometimes use them in my work! painting portraits and lucky Indalos as good luck gifts) "Camel hair" brush is a big hint that it's real animal hair but of a lower quality so would not be used in a high quality brush. For example: Mack Brush Co uses Pony & Goat Hair. No Camel hair in a Camel hair brush. The cost of a "Camel" hair brush is far lower than a good quality brush. I usually throw them away rather than clean them. I buy them in bulk at around $0.10 to $0.35 a piece.
synthetic brushes are make-up brushes that are made from man made fibres for bristles so they are also cruelty free, unlike most make brushes which made from animal hair and made by plucking the animals hair out and putting them into brushes.

The so-called camel's hair brushes used in art work are actually made of squirrel, or occasionally, sable hair. Supposedly, they were invented by a German named "Kemel". hence the confusion.
