MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Regularly cleaning and maintaining your makeup brushes is crucial for both hygiene and optimal performance. Not only will it help prevent bacteria build-up, but it will also keep your brushes in good condition for longer.

To clean and care for your brushes, we recommend using the MODELROCK Solid Soap. 

• First, wet the bristles with lukewarm water, being careful not to get the ferrule (the metal part that connects the bristles to the handle) wet.
• Then, swirl the brush into the solid soap until it lathers, working the soap into the bristles with your fingers or scrubbing pad (a scrubbing pad is included in the large 150gm size tins of our Solid Soap).
• Rinse the brush under running water, again being careful not to get the ferrule wet, until the water runs clear. Repeat the previous steps if the brush is very dirty.
• Gently squeeze out any excess water, reshape the bristles, and lay the brush flat on a towel to dry overnight.
• Once your brushes are clean and dry, store them upright in a brush holder or a drawer to keep them organized and protected.

How often you clean your brushes will depend on how frequently you use them, but generally, we recommend washing them at least once a week. If you use them daily or with cream-based products, you may need to clean them more often. With regular cleaning and proper care, your makeup brushes will perform at their best for years to come.

ADDITIONAL TIPS

When it comes to choosing makeup brushes, there are several factors to consider, including your skin type and the type of makeup look you want to achieve. If you have oily skin, synthetic bristles are a good option because they are less likely to trap oil and bacteria, which can lead to breakouts. On the other hand, if you have dry or sensitive skin, you may want to consider natural hairbrushes, as they tend to be softer and gentler on the skin.

The type of makeup look you want to achieve can also influence your choice of brushes. If you prefer a natural and dewy finish, a duo-fibre brush can help you achieve a light and airy effect. This type of brush has a combination of synthetic and natural hair bristles, which work together to create a soft, blended look. On the other hand, if you're going for a more dramatic or bold look, you may want to opt for denser, more tightly packed brushes that can help you apply and blend colours more precisely.

Ultimately, the best way to find the right brushes for you is to experiment with different types and styles until you find what works best for your unique needs and preferences. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, investing in high-quality brushes that are well-suited to your skin and makeup style can make a world of difference in the overall look and finish of your makeup.
