🖌️ Makeup Brush Guide: How to Choose, Store & Clean Your Brushes
How to Choose a Quality Makeup Brush
When selecting a makeup brush, it’s important to test it properly—ideally on the back of your hand or your face—to feel its texture and sensitivity. A high-quality brush will not irritate the skin and will feel soft, smooth, and well-balanced.
💡 What to Look For:
-
Soft, Smooth Bristles: No pricking or scratching sensation.
-
Neatly Arranged Hair: Evenly cut and densely packed.
-
Good Elasticity & Density: Bounces back easily when pressed.
-
Strong Powder-Grabbing Ability: Picks up and distributes product evenly.
A brush with these characteristics will enhance your makeup application, giving you a flawless and even finish.
How to Store Your Makeup Brushes
Proper storage extends the life of your brushes and keeps them hygienic.
-
Use a Makeup Bag
Most cosmetic brands provide a matching makeup bag. Choose based on your brush size and type:
-
Use a Makeup Brush Holder or Tube
When not in use, insert the brush head into a makeup tube to protect the bristles.
For long-handled brushes that are harder to carry, consider investing in shorter or travel-sized alternatives.
How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes
Cleaning your brushes regularly helps prevent skin irritation and bacterial buildup.
-
Use a Brush Cleaner or Gentle Cleanser
Choose a special brush cleaner or a mild alternative like baby shampoo.
-
Squeeze a coin-sized amount of cleanser into your hand or cleaning pad.
-
Dip the brush into water, then gently swirl it in the cleanser.
-
Rinse under cool water until the water runs clear.
-
Do Not Wash Against the Bristles
Always wash in the direction of the hair to maintain the brush’s shape and integrity.
-
Dry Gently
-
After rinsing, use tissue or a soft cloth to press out excess water.
-
Never twist the bristles—it can loosen the glue and cause shedding.
-
Air Dry Naturally
