Makeup brushes almost feel like a lifetime investment. TBH, I bought a couple of good quality makeup brushes with my first salary about 6 years ago, and with proper care and cleaning, they still work perfectly fine.
Good quality brushes are an expensive affair. But since they do last you for an eternity, they’re so worth it. But in order to ensure that your makeup brushes stay intact for years and offer the same results, there are certain things you need to consider to get the bang for your buck. Here’s everything you need to keep in mind while making the ‘big investment’…
To understand if a makeup brush is of good quality, always rub it at the back of your hand to see if the bristles feel soft or rough and scratchy. Next, while rubbing, keep an eye out to see if you notice any bristles falling out. This will determine the longevity of the brush.
Which bristles are better
For powder products, it is best to opt for natural hair brushes as these bristles have cuticles just like real hair and they hold on to the pigment avoiding wastage. However, for cream and liquid products, it’s best to use either synthetic or dual haired brushes as they don’t soak up the product.
What are the make brushes that one must have
A foundation brush is something that every girl must buy. Ensure that you pick something that has a flat top as it provides a better blending experience and gives the skin a smooth finish. Next, one must invest in eyeshadow blending brush, blush brush, concealer brush and a highlighter brush.
How to care for brushes to make them last
In order to ensure that your brushes last for years and years, proper maintenance is the key. Ensure that you wash the brushes after every use using baby shampoo and dry them thoroughly. This will increase the longevity of the brush and help maintain its efficiency.
