Make-up Brush Care
Beauty Blog: Make-up
What are the essential make-up brushes that should be in your collection? According to beauty experts, your collection of make-up brushes should include an eye shadow brush, an eyeliner brush and a blush brush. If you wear foundation, a foundation brush is your fourth essential brush.
Wondering how much these essential brushes are going to set you back? That depends on your budget and where you get your brushes. If you are just starting out and want to get the best deal for your money, buy a brush set. Mini brush sets will do exactly what you need but will be smaller and cheaper.
When shopping for brushes and brush sets, cheaper is not always the best way to go. You want your investment in your brushes to be worth your money and last a long time. Bobbi Brown Cosmetics offers brush sets starting as low as $55.00 where Ulta and Sephora offer brush sets as low as $7.49 and $6.00.
The way to keep your make-up brushes around for a long time is to clean them. The experts are divided on whether to use brush cleaner or soap and water. All agree that once you have cleaned your brushes that you need to reshape the bristles and lay the brushes flat to ensure that no water runs down into the brush and causes the glue that holds the bristles in place to be compromised.
Additional Suggestions:
- clean your brushes at night and they should be dry by morning
- clean your foundation brushes weekly
- clean your other brushes monthly
- if you can afford it, have several eye shadow brushes
Happy Brush Shopping!
