Good make-up brushes are very expensive. If you take good care of them, you can use them for ten years. The quality of the brush does not lose hair, but if your brush quality is good, hair loss is serious, it may be improper maintenance. Today, let's share tips on how to maintain the cosmetic brush.
Generally speaking, if you make up every day, you should clean the brush once a week or two to avoid breeding bacteria. Eyeliner brush should be washed with clean water once a day. If you rarely make up, you can wash it every three weeks and a month.
Cleaning brush steps:
1. If it is made of animal hair, it is better to use the cleaning solution specially prepared for this kind of brush. General famous brand make-up shops are available for sale. It can also be replaced by baby shampoo, but it can only be used after diluted with water.
2. If the brush is made of artificial wool (nylon), the shampoo can be diluted and cleaned.
3. When washing the brush, try not to let water over the joint of brush head and brush handle. If this part is often soaked in water, the glue inside will become loose and the brush head may fall off the handle.
4. When washing, use warm water to flush along the current. When washing, you can gently move the bristles with your fingers.
5. After washing, arrange the bristles by hand, then spread a paper towel on the table, and then put the brush flat on it to dry.
6. When the brush is completely dry, it can be inserted back into the brush barrel to avoid deformation of the brush hairs.

When cleaning the brush, the water can only flush down the direction of the hair flow, and try not to touch the water at the junction of the pen holder and the bristle, so as to avoid the phenomenon of peeling off the glue at the joint, causing the brush to be depilated or damaged. If the pen holder is soaked in water, it is easy to cause mildew!
Misunderstanding 4: brush after washing to dry in the sun, sterilization
Basically, after cleaning the brush, you should first use toilet paper or clean towel to absorb the excess water, and then hang it on the brush holder to dry in the shade, or lay it flat. Never use the upside down method to let the water flow into the pen holder.

How to choose and buy Cosmetic Brush
1. Hold the bristles with your fingers. If the edge radian of the bristles is smooth, it is basically a good brush. If the arc of the brush is not smooth, then the powder swept out will not be easy to be uniform. At this time, you can comb down gently to see whether the brush will lose hair.
2. Press the brush gently on the back of the hand and draw a semicircle to see whether the hair is cut neatly.
3. Distinguish the true from the false: blow the brush hair with hot air, keep it as animal hair, and the hair turns curly into artificial fiber. This method can also be used to check whether your makeup brush is mixed hair.
4. Color discrimination: natural animal hair should be glossy, but not shiny. If it is flashy, it is likely to be made of chemical components. Besides white hair, as like as two peas, you may have dyed it.
