If you choose the right tools when applying makeup, you can get twice the result with half the effort. In particular, the variety of brushes can make makeup application faster and more rapid, and the makeup looks more natural. Especially the foundation brush, which makes it much easier for women to put on makeup, and can easily cover many areas that are difficult to put on makeup. However, if the foundation brush is used for a long time, bacteria will definitely grow on it, so how to clean the foundation brush?

1. The newly bought brush must be cleaned

Because most brushes are handmade, there will be a small amount of hair that is not solid, or the fluff attached during the trimming process is not removed, which is what we call floating hair. In addition, in order to make the brushes look beautiful as a whole, many brushes need to be dyed. So ladies, after buying a brush, you should clean it first. Note: Be sure to be gentle in the overall movement and clean along the direction of the hair. Generally, floating hair and floating color will not appear again after washing two or three times. If the hair and color loss is serious, it is a quality problem.

2. How to clean:

There are two cleaning methods: water washing and loose powder. Brushes with different bristles will have different cleaning methods.

There are two main types of brush hair:

Made of animal hair: used with dry powder cosmetics. For example, powder brushes, blush brushes, eye shadow brushes, etc. should not be washed with water frequently, as this will damage the bristles. In daily life, ladies use it by themselves, so they can just clean it once a month with water + detergent. If you want to change the color temporarily, you can use the loose powder washing method and use the same dry powder to remove the powder in our brush.

Man-made fibers: used with liquid and paste cosmetics. Such as foundation brush, eyeliner brush, etc.

Wash casually. Use water + cleaning liquid. If the foundation brush is used with foundation liquid, it will easily deteriorate, so it is best to clean it every day.

3. Cleaning method:

Clean with warm water + detergent:

1. Wet the bristles (be careful not to get the mouth of the brush and the joint of the bristles wet) and let the bristles face downward.

2. Pour the washing water into the palm of your hand. Use your fingertips to gently push outwards along the direction of the bristles.

3. Use your fingertips to gently push the brush outwards along the direction of the bristles until all traces of makeup are completely washed away, and then rinse with water.

4. After washing, place a towel or paper towel on the table to absorb moisture, tidy up the bristles, and then dry in a cool place.
