Cleaning makeup brushes are extremely important for several reasons. Many makeup artists advertise that we should wash our brushes minimum once or twice a week.
I'm sure we all experienced when the products dry in the bristles, the bushes became inflexible. This can also lead to poor hygiene that can cause skin problems and infections.
This is why cleaning makeup brushes can't be overstated, it's essential.
So, we all know the importance of clean brushes but do you remember when the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes was?
We all know the basics when it comes to cleaning our makeup brushes:
Wet each brush individually, dip them under hot running water.
Place a drop of makeup brush cleanser or soap into a bowl and rub gently with your fingers to get a good lather for a few minutes.
Wet the bristles with lukewarm water again.
Rinse the bristles.
If there is still residue on the brush, repeat the process. If not, squeeze out the excess moisture with a clean towel.
Let the brush dry. Lay them on a towel and place them underneath the radiator. You can also use a brush washing mat which could help to speed up the process. My favourite one is from Sigma.
However, let's face it it's messy, and the brushes are unusable for up to 24 hrs...Many times when I was in a rush, and I desperately wanted to use my favourite Nars brush it was laying underneath the radiator with all my other brushes when I most needed them. They were still wet and unusable. I was so annoyed...
I was telling Carl how fed up I am because I always washed them the day before giving enough time to dry. So he listened, or maybe he just got fed up with my whinging (haha) because I got one of the best presents I could ask for this Christmas.
It's the StylPro Expert Makeup Brush Cleaner and Dryer.
This product helps me to look after my makeup brushes with minimum effort and with no time. It cleans and dries my brushes in seconds with the new spin technology. No more overnight drying.
There are two different types of Stylepro, the original and the expert.
The difference between these two is that the expert includes two speeds, the slower speed is for natural fibre brushes, and the quicker one is for synthetic. It also comes with a bigger bowl. It's perfect if you have a big brush collection. What I love the most about Stylepro is that any of my favourite brushes are ready to be reused in seconds.
How often do you clean your makeup brushes? How do you clean them? x
Please note that this is my genuine opinion of this product, this was gifted to me by my boyfriend, and I only shared this with you because I'm absolutely in love with Stylepro.
See you next time!
