How to take care of your Makeup Brushes.

Good Afternoon lovelies :)

It has been absolutely freezing in Cape Town but I am loving this weather after a hot hot summer. I recently bought a 24 piece MAC brush set and I wanted to share with you how to take proper care of your brushes after you have used them. Makeup brushes are so important and I honestly don't know what I would do without them so here's how you can take care of them and make them last as long as possible.

1. Clean your brushes frequently to avoid bacteria: Washing your brushes often keeps them in better shape and makes them last longer. Brushes used with creams need to be washed shortly after use. If you leave it longer than a couple days it can be a pain to wash out when you finally do.

2. Stand your brushes upright or lay them flat: After you have washed your brushes it is best to lay them flat because this helps them retain there shape. Make sure that when they are drying you keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent breakage and fading.

3.Always reshape your brushes after you have washed them: Your brushes will dry to the shape they are left at wet. So you will want to shape them into the shape you expect while they are wet or damp.

4. Never blow dry or use direct sunlight to dry your brushes: This can cause permanent damage to your brushes which is what we don't want. If you don't have time then rather go for an alcohol based Brush cleaner because they have a much faster drying time compared to shampooing with water.

Brush Sets are so expensive its vitally important to take good care of the one you have so you don't end up buying a new one.

Have a Beautiful Tuesday afternoon Ladies
