How To Dry Makeup Brushes?

Table of Contents

How to dry makeup brushes is very important if you want to maintain the bristles over time. If you have a lot of bristles, it can lead to the brush becoming brittle and breakable. If you constantly use an older, broken brush on your face, you will notice the bristles are stiff and itchy. When trying to decide on which makeup brushes to buy or use on which skin type, it is best to take into consideration the natural ability of each brush.

If you have oily skin, you should purchase oil-free dry makeup brushes as they are known to be more gentle. This is because they do not clog pores which allow dirt and other skin pollutants to become trapped in the bristles. Most brushes which are sold for oily skin contain silicone, which is not good for the skin, but some brushes actually have small amounts of silicone. In order to determine the amount of silicone contained in each brush, you need to first look at the label and then place the brush in water for a short period of time.

  • When you place the brush in water, the label will tell you how long it will last under the water.
  • If the brush does not last the recommended time, you should replace it with a new one as there are always new trends in the world of makeup brushes.
  • If you still are unsure about how to dry makeup brushes, you can find professionals who know how to properly clean the brushes so you do not end up damaging the brushes.

Knowing how to dry makeup brushes is a vital step in taking care of the brushes and preventing them from getting damaged. The brush should never be stored in a wet place, which could cause it to break. You should never put the brushes in the microwave, as the heat from the microwave could easily melt the bristles. It is also important to know how to dry makeup brushes thoroughly as leaving the brush wet will make the glue on the bristles come off and the brush will be much more likely to break when you use it. You should either place the brush in the dishwasher or give it a few minutes in the oven to get all the water out.

To use the brushes once they have been cleaned, you need to first put them in the dishwasher to wash the dirt and debris off them. It is important to not put too much pressure on the brushes while washing them as you could damage the bristles. If you do not rinse the brushes thoroughly, you can cause them to become mouldy and this could affect how well your makeup will bond to them. Once you have washed them, you need to let them dry naturally so you do not dampen the brush. This could result in the glue coming off the bristles and leaving an uneven coat of colour.

After the brushes have dried, you should put them in the oven to completely dry them. Make sure the temperature is low and you turn the oven on to the lowest setting. Make sure the dryer ventilation is open so the air can circulate around the brushes to speed up drying. Once you have done this carefully, you can then store the brushes safely in the fridge to keep them fresh until you need them again. Make sure you follow these simple steps on how to dry makeup brushes and you will notice that using brushes in the future is much easier and less of a hassle.
