Choosing make up brushes

Use natural bristles, which have soft touch and helps to apply powder blush, face powder, eyeshadow or lipsticks effectively. Use synthetic bristles for oil-based products like eyeshadow base, cream eyeshadows and concealers. Make sure that you choose dense brushes with silky texture and tapered round shape.

Make up brush maintenance

Wash them once a month with a gentle foaming cleanser, hair shampoo or just plain soap and water. Squeeze out excess water by laying them down flat between a soft folded towel and air-dry it. Wash lipstick brushes with gentle oil removing wash that you use for your skin. Avoid using the same make up brushes for light and dark shades. Throw away the worn out brushes lest it causes flaw in your make up. Replace them once in a year. Do not share the same make up brushes as it may lead to infection.
