Tips for makeup brushes!
A while ago I saw that MichellePhan recommended The Brush Guard for keeping your makeup brushes like new, especially for keeping them in shape after you’ve washed them. They seemed really great since you can turn the brushes upside down while they are getting dry so you don’t damage the glue keeping it together.
So I created something on my own instead. I love my makeup brushes from e.l.f.’s studio line, so every time I’ve ordered new ones I kept the plastic covers!
I used a hole puncher to create many tiny holes in the plastic.
So after I’ve washed the brushes, I put on the cover and put them in a vase or a glass and let them dry! Even though I made many holes (I think I’m going to make more holes though), the air can’t circulate enough, so I only use these to get the excess water off and then let them dry without the plastic.
I realize that they are not as good as the Brush Guards, but I thought I could save the world from a little plastic and reuse them instead of throwing them away!
That’s a brilliant idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
I wish I had kept the covers my brushes came with, but I threw them all out :(
Great idea, have you thought about using something other then plastic? maybe cloth to let it breath.
I have those brush guard, it’s amazing. I have that extra brush as well. I kept that plastic guard because I carry that brush around with me so I want to keep it from going out of shape in my make up bag.
Tack så himla mycket för tipset :) Vilken tur att jag sparade dem på. Dock har jag ingen såndär hålgrej… Men det borde finnas någon som har.
Vad tycker du om borstarna? Jag bara fullkomligt älskar dem :) Speciellt “Powder Brush”.
Jag verkligen älskar alla i Studio-serien, plus Blending Eye Brush från deras vanliga borstar, den är amazing! :)
