It is quite obvious, but the way you store the brush determines its longevity. For dry brushes, always store them with the bristles pointed up to ensure it does not get ruined by gravity. For a brush you have just cleaned, it can be a better idea to store them flat on a table top.
Your makeup brushes are your biggest helpers in ensuring that you have a great makeup day. You may invest in the best of products from big brands, however, if your brushes are not good, you will not get an even blend and it may end up looking patchy and skipping at any type of dry spots on your face. A good makeup brush can help you do so much more than just what it is intended for. With some simple hacks, you can get the most out of your brushes and make them work for different types of finishes as well as extend the life of your brushes and make them last longer.
Here are some of the best tips to help you get the most out of your brushes.
Getting better color payoff
One of the biggest issues that most people face with eye shadows that are more on the shimmery side is the issue of getting enough color payoffs. If your shadow is not really showing up on the eyelid, one of the quickest tricks you can use is to give your brush a quick spritz of makeup setting spray. A wet brush will not only make the pigment pop more and help you get some color payoff, but for pressed pigments and for more powdery shimmery shadows, it can help act as a mixing medium and can help to get it looking more pigmented on your skin.
