We know that you love your makeup brushes and sponges, but how long do they actually last? Well, basically, it depends on a few factors. For example, are you using them in the right way? Do you wash them properly when you do wash them? Are they made of suitable materials? It's easy to assume that all makeup brushes are equal and will last the same amount of time. But that's not always true.
Taking Care Of Your Makeup Brushes
You should always be taking care of your makeup brushes, but you should especially be taking care of them if you have invested in luxury name-brand makeup brushes. The best way to take care of your make-up brushes is to use a mild soap with warm water and rub them in a circle on your hand or a silicone cleaning matt to clean them a minimum of 2 times a month. You don’t want to wash your make-up brushes too much because they will fall apart faster. Remember that makeup brushes should be manufactured to last a long time but not forever. They are material things, and material things are not meant to last forever. If you wait too long to clean your makeup brushes, you risk them producing bacteria that you don’t want on your face. Bacteria can cause your skin to have reactions to your makeup when it’s applied, or you can suffer from a ton of acne if your brushes need to be cleaned and haven’t been cleaned in a while.
How To Tell When Its Time To Replace Your Makeup Brushes
There are a few ways of knowing when it’s time to replace your makeup brushes. Shedding is one of the ways to tell when it’s time to replace your makeup brushes. This is usually caused by using too much pressure when applying makeup. It can also be caused by not replacing your makeup brushes at appropriate times. When your makeup brushes are no longer blending the way you want them to, it may be time to purchase a new set. You don’t want your makeup to look uneven because of the brushes you are using. It is also a good indicator if your brushes no longer have their original shape. Make-up brushes will eventually lose their shape. If your skin is irritated by your makeup brushes, it is an excellent time to replace them. Most makeup brushes are not going to last longer than five years. If you use your makeup brushes every day during your make-up and skincare routine, it is probably wise to replace your makeup brushes every year or two. Brushes that are used daily need to be kept clean and maintained so that bacteria do not grow in them.
What Makeup Brushes Last The Longest?
Brushes made with natural materials tend to last longer than those made with synthetic materials. Natural brushes are made from animal hair like goat or horse hair or plant fibers like sisal and bamboo. Synthetic brushes are usually made of nylon or polyester. At the end of the day, brushes can last anywhere from a few months to several years, depending on the type of bristles they have and how well they are made. The durability of a brush also depends on how frequently you use it and what kind of makeup and skin care products you're using with it. Treat your makeup brushes with care, and you will not have to worry about replacing them constantly!
