My foundation clumps, or
Only after fine blemishes appeared on my skin
I often had to check the condition of the brush. 😭

The brush contains not only cosmetic residue
Skin oil and dead skin cells may also get transferred.
If you use it repeatedly as is, your makeup will smudge or
It can irritate the skin, so regular washing is necessary.

foundation brush

Especially liquid foundation or concealer like
Using a moisturizing formula Wash foundation brushes at least once a week. I like it.

I found that if you wash it before the product hardens between the fibers, the residue comes out relatively easily!

Powder/Blusher Brush

powder or blush brush If the usage frequency is low

2~4 week intervals It is okay to manage it as such.

However, if you have oily or acne-prone skin or frequently use multiple colors
Please shorten the brush cleaning cycle a little. 🚨

eyeshadow brush

Like eyeshadow Use an eye brush once every two weeks Wash to some extent, and
When changing colors, it is a good idea to lightly shake off any remaining powder.

🧼 How to clean a brush

1️⃣ Thoroughly wet only the bristles with lukewarm water.

2️⃣ Dispense a dedicated cleanser or mild shampoo onto your palm or a cleaning mat and gently rub along the brush bristles.

3️⃣ Rinse several times with lukewarm water until no foam or cosmetic color comes out.

4️⃣ Remove moisture by pressing firmly with a clean towel instead of twisting, then shape.

Foundation brushes may not remove residue all at once.
Rather than soaking in water for a long time or rubbing vigorously
Repeat the lathering and rinsing process It is good to do it.

If you immerse the entire brush in water or wet it up to the point where the handle connects to the bristles
The internal adhesive may weaken, so Wash only the hair part Please do it!

💨 Brush Drying Tips

The washed brush is towel Lay it on top
If you leave the tips of the leaves slightly sticking out from the table, it allows for good ventilation.

It is best to avoid drying it upright, as remaining water can flow into the handle!

❌ Instead of hot air from a hair dryer or strong sunlight
⭕ A shady and well-ventilated place About one night there Dry thoroughly Please do it.

Drying time may vary depending on the brush size and bristle density.
You need to check that it is completely dry all the way through before using it.

Store completely dry brushes in a clean case or drawer, and
Please avoid humid bathrooms or open spaces where dust accumulates easily.

🪥 Signs that the brush needs replacing

When an odor remains even after washing, or when the bristles spread out severely and fall out,
If the texture against your skin has become rough, consider replacing it.

Cleaning makeup brushes is not only for skin care
It also helps maintain foundation adhesion and consistent color payoff.
If you set a cleaning cycle based on the type of brush you use, it makes maintenance easier without putting it off.
