3 Expert Beauty Tips For Your Makeup Brushes To Deliver Flawless Makeup And Last Longer

Makeup brushes are often considered to be in the same category as makeup products but that's like calling both apples and avocados fruits. While one of those is a product which needs to be applied and has a shelf life, the other is used to apply and can last for a life time. You'll can tell which belongs where. Whether highlighter, blush or mascara, products eventually expire and need to be replaced. But that isn't the case with makeup brushes. If treated properly, they can not only give you the perfect application of makeup but need not ever be replaced when treated well. Not just anybody holds secrets like those but Bianca Louzado isn't just anybody. Trained under the likes of Bobbi Brown, Sir John, Mario Dedivanovic and more across London and USA, Bianca is a renowned makeup artist who has brought hygiene to the forefront of the Indian makeup industry with CODE Beauty. Here she shares her 3 expert tips to treating your makeup brushes right to extend their life and allow them to apply makeup correctly.

3 Beauty Tips To Care For Your Makeup Brushes

1. Avoid Storing Them With Makeup Products

If you chuck your brushes in the same pouch as the products they apply, skip this and get them their own brush kit. It will avoid the bacterial contamination in the same environment and will help them retain their shape.

2. Wash Them With Warm Water

Use water that is approximately 45-degrees to wash the bristles of your makeup brushes in order to remove sediment. Wrap the bristles with cling wrap and use a blow dryer to dry them out. This will clean them gently in the right position without excess heat.

3. Wash Them Depending On Your Wear

There's no fixed time for how often you should wash your brushes because it depends on frequency and use. A good rule of thumb is to wash them when the brushes become cakey or the bristles become excessively pigmented from makeup products.
