Brush Care And Maintenance

In our guide to brush care and maintenance, we focus on the essentials: proper cleaning, appropriate storage, and timely replacement to ensure your brushes remain in excellent condition, providing flawless application and long-lasting performance.

1. Cleaning Your Brushes

To clean our brushes, start by using warm water and a gentle cleanser. For brushes used with liquid or cream products, clean them weekly to prevent product buildup. For powder brushes, a bi-weekly cleanse will suffice. We recommend a gentle swirling motion on a cleaning mat or the palm of your hand, followed by rinsing until the water runs clear. Squeeze out excess water with a clean towel and reshape the bristles. It’s crucial to avoid submerging the entire brush to prevent damage to the glue holding the bristles.

Result: Regular cleaning helps maintain the durable nature of the brushes, whether they have natural fibers like sable or synthetic fibers like taklon.

2. Storing Your Brushes

After cleaning, lay our brushes flat to dry on a breathable surface, ensuring that they’re not crowded and that air can circulate around them. Once dry, we store them upright in a holder or case to prevent misshaping. Protecting brushes from dust and makeup residue will prolong their life and maintain the quality of the material they’re made from.

Note: Whether our brushes have natural or synthetic bristles, proper storage is paramount to prevent damage and maintain the brush’s shape and function.

3. Replacing Your Brushes

Over time, even with meticulous care, we’ll notice our brushes start to shed or lose their shape. When they no longer produce the desired results, it’s time to replace them. The lifespan of a brush can vary, but high-quality synthetic brushes typically last longer than natural ones when maintained correctly. We keep an eye on the performance of each brush, replacing them as needed to ensure our makeup application remains top-notch.

Reminder: Regular inspection of our brushes ensures that we replace them before they compromise our makeup routine.
