All we want for your beauty hygiene: clean brushes.
After a night out, all painted-up with your favorite products, you may realize a blemish (or two or three) made an appearance overnight after you tried to clean off the layers of formulas.
To avoid this uncalled-for consequence, makeup and skin experts urge you to pay attention to how often and thoroughly you are cleaning your tools. The chances of transferring dirt and oil from yesterday’s application is more than likely, even if you think your skin is invincible. Supermodels understand the stakes during fashion shows and constantly wiping off a previous look just for another fresh work of art.
American Academy of Dermatology encourages a 7-10 day turnaround, especially if you are wearing makeup daily or often during the week.
What you want to do to achieve a seamless cleanse for your brushes to feel never-before-used:
- Rinse tips under lukewarm water; this is just to remove any initial product on the surface.
- Rub your brushes on a cleaning mat in a circular motion with a gentle cleanser.
- Swirl, swirl, swirl! This will move around and release build up.
- Rinse under lukewarm water, again.
- Squeeze out excess moisture and let air dry on a towel until fluffy again.
Think of it just like you do when you wash your face, it is another little beauty activity for prevention and vibrancy of the skin.
Model of the Year (2019), Adut Akech, sat in a plush robe waiting patiently for her make-up artist, Keita Moore, to finish her emerald green glitter eyeshadow. As seen, she is a physical image of what safe beauty stimulates.
Her appearance at the Fashion Awards five years ago still sticks in our memory due to her dolled-up do in a Valentino bouncy green gown- created in collaboration with Pierpaolo Piccioli.
