Makeup brushes are an important part of applying makeup. Unfortunately, they also wear out and can do so in a short amount of time depending on the brand and the materials used to make them. Quality brushes that you maintain well can last for years! Clean brushes will help your other makeup products last longer as well, and your makeup will look better when applied with well-kept tools.
Here are a few things to look for in determining if it’s time to replace your makeup brushes:
Shedding Bristles
If every time a makeup brush is used, a person finds little bristles on her face or that have dropped into the sink, this could be an indication that it is time to replace that particular makeup brush. One test that can be performed is to run the makeup brush over the back of your hand and if more than 10 little bristles fall out, its time to replace it.
Acne Breakouts
Makeup brushes can easily pick up bacteria if they are not cleaned and stored properly. One way to know that its time to replace your brushes is if you’re noticing more acne breakouts than normal.
Mis Shapen Brushes
When makeup brushes are used over periods of years, it is almost inevitable for them to become misshapen. If a person continues to use a misshapen makeup brush, it may apply her makeup unevenly, and you can very easily waste product- both of which are avoidable!
Until Next Time!
