Make-up Care
Caring for make-up brushes – if you buy good quality brushes and take care of them a good set should last you 10 years. There are a few tricks that will keep your brushes looking and feeling like new. Remember to clean your brushes about every 2 weeks with a gentle shampoo or brush solvent. Commercial sanitizer and sprays contain a high level of alcohol and will dry your brushes overtime. While cleaning always put the ferrule (metal ring that holds the bristles in place) pointed downward. Otherwise the glue that holds them in place may weaken and your bristles will start to break.
What to have in your Make-up Kit-
Other then the obvious, make-up, you should keep a few tools on hand.
Cape or towel Alcohol Tweezers Hair band or tie
Brushes Mirror Q-Tips Pencil sharpener
Lash comb Sponges Tissue Spatulas
The best place to apply your make up is in a very well-lit room with natural outside light also filtering in. This is because light from light bulbs is cast down differently than the sun does. The sun casts light over the full color spectrum allowing you will see the ‘true’ color of your make-up.
