What's the right way to clean makeup brushes?
Clean, good-as-new makeup brushes are just seven steps away:
1.Wet the bristles with lukewarm water.
2.Place a drop of your cleanser of choice into the palm of your clean hand.
3.Gently massage the tips of the bristles in your palm.
4.Rinse the bristles thoroughly.
5.Squeeze out the excess moisture with a clean towel.
6.Re-form the brush head back into its original shape.
7.Let the brush dry with its bristles hanging off the edge of a counter, which allows it to dry in the correct shape. Never let your brushes dry on a towel — the bristles can turn mildewy.
Mid-wash, be sure to keep the base of the brush head (where it connects to the handle) away from soap and water. The bristles are glued to the base, and water and detergent can cause the glue to disintegrate and the bristles to come loose and shed. Also, avoid drying brushes vertically with the bristles up — this can cause water to leak into the ferrule (the piece that joins the bristles to the handle), which also will loosen the glue and lead to bristle loss.
Knowing Something About Brush Handles:
Today, cosmetic brush handles can range from acrylics to fancy metals. Most makeup artists prefer wood handles for both durability and control. The makeup brush handle may come in a wide variety of colors and shapes.Handles are made from wood (coated in either varnish or paint), resin or plastic. Some handles are made from recycled or sustainable materials. The handle is where any brand logo and other information about the brush (like it's purpose or size) is printed.
Plastic and acrylic handles need molds, so it is not proper for small quantity, as the molding cost is high, and needs to spare the cost to each brush, if the order quantity is less, it is not cost-effective.
Acrylic handles is expensive than plastic handles due to the higher cost and difficult technology.But it can produce various shapes/designs.
Wooden handle: the most common wooden handle is birch,which is light but strong.
Bamboo handle: also very common and cost-effective,
Metal handle: Normally can be aluminum handle and copper handles,both can be freely printed logo.
