I'm developing a love for brushes of all kinds. I bought a few higher end brushes and they are amazing. They are incredibly soft and my makeup glides on like a dream. There are so many interesting shapes. I am really interested in creating a beautiful brush collection. Show your brushes and share any cleaning and storage tips and let us know which ones are your favorites.
As the weather has changed, my brushes aren’t drying out as quickly as they were in the summer. I’m finding the thicker, denser natural hair brushes have a bit of an odor toward the middle where they are attached to the metal part of the handle. I would appreciate any tips, as it’s taking a couple of days for some of them to dry and I need to be able to use them. The odor does go away, but I can’t imagine that it’s good for them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Makes complete sense, @Luvstravel. I use mine 5-6 days a week. With the Surratt sale I picked up a few more brushes so have some wiggle room in the eyeshadow area. No makeup days sound good to me!
@Luvstravel, I bought the same exact one (with a different name, but the same tree). I’m looking forward to using it next week. I didn’t have some of the denser brushes last winter so wasn’t prepared for this. I wash them meticulously every Sat/Sun, so I knew it had to be the weather, rather than a buildup. Let me know how you like yours, I’m looking forward to my weekend cleaning!
@eshoe there are 2 things that might help with this a little during the washing process.
1) after I am done washing my brushes I always use a microfibre cloth to help shape the bristles which does shape them but also has the added benefit of wicking away excess moisture
2) I always dry them upside down. I picked up a cheap brush tree off Amazon a few years ago for less than $10 and it disassembles into 3 flat pieces for storage. It's got rubberized holes to keep the brushes from sliding through and tends to help the water not stay into the bundling and ferrule
hope that helps!
Thank you, @Mochapj. I will use both of your suggestions. I dry mine flat on a towel. I recall someone here using one of those drying trees, I forget the brand, I think it started with B. I’ve seen them a few places so will look into one right now!
Here's the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FA9354I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Those are really gorgeous
So freaking pretty!!! I love them!
@SportyGirly125 I remember that set! So much coveting, I thought about it too long and poof, gone 😞
@MissPuff I saw that they have a red version of it on Beautylish that was really pretty but I had to step away.
I think I would frame that picture, @SportyGirly125. They are so very beautiful. I completely understand why you haven’t used them yet!
Your Chikuhodo brush set is beautiful @SportyGirly125! Yes, they are on the pricey side, but they are so nice - exquisitely handcrafted and they perform wonderfully!
