Caring for
your brushes
Can a makeup brush cause a rash or breakouts?
Yes,
dirty makeup brush is not only unhygienic but is quite likely to worsen or
cause more breakouts, rashes or any other pre-existing conditions. Especially,
if you have very sensitive skin or rosacea. Therefore, you should always clean
your makeup brushes as they will build up makeup, oil and bacteria.
How do I clean my makeup brushes
Cleaning
your makeup brushes will ensure that your makeup brushes will last for a very
long time to come and keep them in tip top condition for your next use.
If you
are using either Masters Brush Cleaner & Preserver and "Pink Soap" Artist
Brush Cleaner and Conditioner please follow the manufacturers suggestion
You can
also simply use a good quality shampoo such as the one you're using for your
hair. Try not to use some lower quality shampoo as they could dry the hair
out. Glycerin based soaps or cleansers are not recommend.
- Be careful
not to let any cleaner or water run inside the ferrule, as this can weaken
the glue used to hold the hair and cause shedding problems or even wobbly
handles.
- Always
keep it at a slight angle (almost perpendicular) with the hair tips facing
downwards, NEVER UPWARDS no matter what type of cleaner or shampoo you are using.
- Carefully
wet the makeup brush hair.
- Place
some shampoo on your fingertips and gently shampoo the hair. Shampoo in the
direction of the hair. Pay special attention to the hair near the ferrule.
- Rinse
it under gentle running water, thoroughly. Gently press it flat in a towel
to dry. It is also a good idea to lightly press it back into shape.
- You can
then leave it to DRY FLAT on a dry towel or HANG it up (suspended) with the
hair tip facing down.
- REMEMBER,
never ever leave it to dry with the hair facing down or up, in a glass or
container! Makeup brushes that dry upright (with hair pointing or facing
upwards) will begin to cause particles to collect in, and water to run into,
the ferrule and will soon begin to cause the hair on the makeup brush to fan
out or shed and can even cause the handle to come loose or wobbly.
