What's the right way to clean makeup brushes?
Clean, good-as-new makeup brushes are just seven steps away:
1.Wet the bristles with lukewarm water.
2.Place a drop of your cleanser of choice into the palm of your
clean hand.
3.Gently massage the tips of the bristles in your palm.
4.Rinse the bristles thoroughly.
5.Squeeze out the excess moisture with a clean towel.
6.Re-form the brush head back into its original shape.
7.Let the brush dry with its bristles hanging off the edge of a
counter, which allows it to dry in the correct shape. Never let
your brushes dry on a towel — the bristles can turn mildewy.
Mid-wash, be sure to keep the base of the brush head (where it
connects to the handle) away from soap and water. The bristles are
glued to the base, and water and detergent can cause the glue to
disintegrate and the bristles to come loose and shed. Also, avoid
drying brushes vertically with the bristles up — this can cause
water to leak into the ferrule (the piece that joins the bristles
to the handle), which also will loosen the glue and lead to bristle
loss.
Knowing Something About Brush Handles:
Today, cosmetic brush handles can range from acrylics to fancy
metals. Most makeup artists prefer wood handles for both durability
and control. The makeup brush handle may come in a wide variety of
colors and shapes.Handles are made from wood (coated in either
varnish or paint), resin or plastic. Some handles are made from
recycled or sustainable materials. The handle is where any brand
logo and other information about the brush (like it's purpose or
size) is printed.
Plastic and acrylic handles need molds, so it is not proper for
small quantity, as the molding cost is high, and needs to spare the
cost to each brush, if the order quantity is less, it is not
cost-effective.
Acrylic handles is expensive than plastic handles due to the higher
cost and difficult technology.But it can produce various
shapes/designs.
Wooden handle: the most common wooden handle is birch,which is
light but strong.
Bamboo handle: also very common and cost-effective,
Metal handle: Normally can be aluminum handle and copper
handles,both can be freely printed logo.
