For women who need makeup, makeup tools are essential. But have you cleaned and maintained your makeup tools after putting on makeup? These cosmetic tools are likely to hide dirt, thus causing your skin allergy. So, it is necessary to clean cosmetic tools regularly. Do you know how to clean and maintain makeup tools?
1. Cosmetic Brush Storage
There are many makeup brushes. If you want to distinguish them, you can distinguish them according to the brush parts. Foundation brushes, loose powder brushes, blush brushes are classified as large brushes. Medium brushes such as highlight brushes, facial mask brushes, nasal shadow brushes fall into one category. Small brushes such as eye shadow brush, concealer brush, eyebrow brush fall into one category.
Those brushes that are not used should be cleaned and dried naturally. Big brushes must be covered with a net cover to prevent brush damage. If you have a small brush, you can take a storage box with a lid and store it.
2. Washing and Drying Makeup Brushes
(1) Liquid makeup brushes such as foundation brushes should be cleaned every 2-3 times they are used. The foundation brush is made of fiber wool. It is easy to clean and more durable. There are animal hair materials. For this type, you should wash it 1-2 times a month.
(2) Blush brush, loose powder and eye shadow brushes are dry powder cosmetic brushes. Brushes made of fiber wool are washed 1-2 times every two weeks. If the brush is made of animal hair, it can be "dry-cleaned" in normal use. If it is washed with water, it is washed 1-2 times a month.
Dry Cleaning
After each use, you should use paper towel, makeup cotton or prepare a "dry cleaning sponge" to rub it back and forth.
If you feel that it is not clean, you can dry clean it regularly. You can use the wash-free washing liquid specially used for cosmetic brushes.
Washing
You should prepare a water container. You need to take 400ml of warm water (too cold or too hot will damage the bristles) and add 20ml of cleaning solution. After mixing, stir the brush head in the mixture. After soaking the bristles, you should move it in a circular motion in the palm, and repeat it several times until the residual makeup is cleaned. Finally, you should rinse it with running water.
Air Drying
After the brush is washed, you can dry the water with a clean towel or facial paper. It is best to put on a brush cover. You should pay attention to that the brush cover must be worn from the handle to the direction of the brush head. Remember to shape the bristles to prevent them from becoming fluffy after drying. Remember to choose different sizes of brush cover according to the size of the brush.
Then you need to straighten out the bristles, insert the brush head down into the MintBear drying brush holder, and then put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry. When it dries naturally, you can continue to use it.
Besides, I have to talk about eyelash curlers. We usually use mascara when using eyelash curlers. It is difficult to clean it by washing it with water and then drying it. You can use a lighter to slightly heat the mascara brush, then wipe it off with paper towel and rinse it with water.
