High quality brushes are so important. They will help you apply your foundation, powder to your skin, blush, eyeliner, lip gloss…just about anything you do with your face.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES
- Washing your brushes is super important to keep the bristles in perfect condition and to remove any bacteria.
- How often you should wash your brushes depends on how often you use them, we recommend washing personal brushes every week, or if you are an MUA after every client.
- Wash the brushes bristles using warm water and a gentle shampoo, avoid soaking the brush for too long or getting the brush handle wet as this will damage your brushes.
- Leave your brushes to dry by laying them flat on a towel.
