There is no use in doing makeup if you do not use the right makeup brushes to apply it. Furthermore, owning makeup brushes means you should follow certain basic hygiene rules while washing and storing them. Keeping your makeup brush kit in optimum condition helps smooth application, and your brushes also last long. If you are wondering what these rules actually are, we are here to uncover them. Let us walk you through some most common makeup brush mistakes that people make.


They do not clean the handle

There is no denying that cleaning your makeup brushes is necessary for beauty hygiene. However, if you are only cleaning the obvious part of it and skip the handle, you are doing it wrong. The makeup handle is where you hold the brush, and it is packed with germs and bacteria, which can easily travel into the bristles.

What’s more, these unwanted elements can cause skin concerns such as acne. So, make sure always to wash the handles of your makeup brush thoroughly using soap.


They don’t store the make-up brushes in the right place

Humidity can be a cause of concern for your make-up brushes, which means you need to keep them in a dry place to avoid any chances of bacteria settling in. Consider opting for an upright mug or holder to store your makeup brushes in a cool and dark place with no room for bacteria.


They are not gentle with them

Pressing your makeup brush hard against your skin can ruin your bristles. For that reason, make sure always to be extremely gentle while blending your makeup. Use light strokes on your face to make sure that your makeup is blended correctly without causing any harm to your makeup brushes.


They do not use synthetic brushes

Did you know that natural makeup brushes can cause allergies? Not only this, but they can also absorb more product. For that reason, make sure always to use synthetic makeup brushes that do not cause any product wastage.


They do not use the correct pressures

You probably already know there is a makeup brush available for every make. Using the wrong brush can give you an unfinished makeup look. For that reason, make sure to always use the designated brush for the designated product. For instance, when applying a highlighter, opt for a fan brush, use a buffing brush for loose powder, an angled brush for a highlighter, and a flat brush for foundation.


Your skin deserves the best, so you should always use high-quality makeup brushes to give the skin its best. High-quality makeup brushes feel soft and gentle against your skin.
