YOUR BRUSHES


Make-Up Brush Care

Proper care for your brushes is very important. We use GloMinerals spray cleaner. This is recommended only if you share your brushes with other people or during a breakout. It is antibacterial and you simply spray the ends of your brushes after each use.

Wash your brushes about once a month and following these directions will preserve the life of your important tools.

The hairs of your brushes are glued to a wooden dowel inside of the metal rivet. It is extremely important not to let water get in there!

Holding the brush with the hairs facing downward wet with warm water. Put a little hydrating shampoo in your hand (the shampoo must be free of sulfates, waxes, and oils - we use and recommend Pureology Hydrate) swirl the brush around in the palm of your hand - you will see the makeup coming out. Rinse under warm water always keeping the brush facing down!

You now must condition the brush! Place a tiny amount of conditioner (must be free of waxes and oils - we use and recommend Pureology Hydrate) in the palm of your hand and swirl your brush in it. Again, rinse holding the brush facing down.

You must dry the brushes with them facing downward so no water gets up inside. You also don’t want the hairs to lean on anything - or they will dry with bends in the hairs. To do this: roll up a towel and place the handle on it a little off center so the brush leans down at an angle - but the hairs don’t touch anything. Then place another folded towel over the handles to secure them.

The brushes usually dry overnight.
