Professional makeup tools are essential if you are or aspire to be a makeup artist. Makeup equipment should be incredibly effective in order to produce the best results. There is a huge variety of brushes to choose from like foundation makeup brushes and eye makeup brushes. Brushes get a lot of use from makeup wearers, especially if they apply cosmetics on a daily basis.

Best makeup brushes set recommendation is DUcare PANDA - 31 in 1 DUcare Makeup Brushes Set, you will find full range of brushes and how each work for a complete makeup look. 

 

 
 
 
You'll notice that your foundation, blush, concealer, and other creams and powders build up in the bristles of your brushes after a few applications. According to studies, makeup brushes aren't just smearing foundation on your face; they're also smearing big, fat bacteria loads all over it. They gather up body oils (sebum), dead skin, and dust and filth in the air. They must be cleaned on a frequent and thorough basis. If you don't, all of this material will accumulate and negatively impact future makeup applications, as well as reduce the life expectancy of your brushes, forcing you to replace them more frequently. Clean makeup brushes also assist professional makeup artists in performing their tasks to the fullest potential. The most serious effect of dirty brushes is that they create a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause skin problems, inflammation and uneven makeup application too. At the end of each day, professional makeup artists should thoroughly clean and sanitize their professional makeup tools.

 

 

 

 

STEPS TO WASH MAKEUP BRUSHES PROFESSIONALLY

 

SETUP:

Before cleaning brushes the first most step is to sort out same kind of brushes together according to plan you make to wash them. You can either group your brushes on the basis of their material i.e.  Synthetic brushes and the natural-bristled ones. You can also categorize them from liquid to powder brushes or use wise such as crease, foundation, lip and eyeliner.

 

 

 
 
 

CLEANSERS:

In the cosmetics aisle of your favorite beauty store and department store beauty counters, you'll find plenty of wipes, liquid cleaners, and even solid, soap-like makeup brush cleaners. Separating synthetic brushes from natural-haired brushes is useful since many makeup artists use different cleansers for each brush type. Usually for synthetic brushes solid cleansers are used. While for natural-bristle brushes liquid cleansers are preferred. Most professional brush cleansers include disinfectant characteristics in addition to surface washing (due to the alcohol concentration). Because of the high alcohol component in instant cleansers, brushes dry rapidly, allowing you to continue working. Most people, however, prefer particular household and beauty supplies for this off-label application. Dish soap is the most common alternative because it is the most effective at removing stubborn makeup from bristles. Just make sure it's fragrance-free and contains nothing that will irritate your skin before you start cleaning. Many makeup artists use their favorites face cleanser to clean their brushes. While some prefer sulphate free shampoo for natural-haired brushes. Baby shampoos, which are noted for their gentleness, are also popular for washing makeup brushes. Many infant shampoos contain natural components, so if utilizing natural products is important to you, shop in the baby section.

FOR SYNTHETIC BRUSHES

 

To cleanse your brushes with soap cleanser, here's what you need to do:

  1. Keeping the brushes with the bristles facing down, slowly pour lukewarm water through the sink and wet the bristle tips.You should try not to turn the head of the makeup brush up when cleaning the brush, but should let the water flow down the bristles of the brush, so as not to damage the bristles. In addition, it will not cause water in the head of the brush to cause mold on the handle. Rinsing with hot water should be avoided because it can loosen the glue.

  2. Squeeze a drop of your favorite soap onto a textured cleansing pad (or even your palm) and swirl the brush into the soap until it's completely lathered and any pigment or grit is removed. Alternatively, if you're using bar soap, press gently your makeup brush into it to create a lather.

  3. Squeeze the makeup brush gently to remove any excess lather or water.

  4. Rinse with clean water again, this time with the bristles facing down. Make sure not to use hot water as it may loosen adhesive glue.

  5. Squeeze off any excess water and gently mould your bristles back into place so they can dry properly.

  6. Place your brushes flat on a towel or paper towel to dry. It may take many hours for them to completely dry, so wash your makeup brushes in the evening and lay them flat to dry overnight.

 

FOR NATURAL- BRISTLES BRUSHES

To cleanse your brushes with liquid cleanser, here's what you need to do:
  1. Rinse the bristles under running water. Avoid getting water above the handle of the brush, as this can weaken the glue over time, resulting in losing bristles and, finally, a wrecked brush.

  2. Squeeze your favorite liquid cleanser onto your hand, then gently swirl your brush across your palm in gentle circular strokes, making sure the entire brush is saturated. At this point, you can also use a brush washing mat.

  3. Rinse the liquid soap and solution out of the brush after it has been sudsy. If the water does not run clean, repeat steps 1-2, making sure the water does not touch the handle of your brush.

  4. To expel extra water, gently press your fingertips on the bristles. Don't twist on it too hard!

  5. Overnight, lay the brush or brushes flat on a towel.
