5 Makeup Artist Brush Tricks

Just as a painter uses brushes to create on a canvas, makeup brushes are must use tools to utilize when painting your face. So here are five best brush tricks to keep in mind. Wash Your Brushes: Always wash your makeup brushes at least once in a week. Washing them preserves the hair and shape, and also remove excess makeup to keep the bristles hygienic.

This will soften the hair. Blend: The most important secret to keep in mind when using brushes is always focussing on blending. You can take the darkest shadow and turn it into the seamless smokey eye if you blend well enough. Quality vs Quantity: You don't need a huge assortment of brushes for everyday use.

5 Reasons Never To Share Your Makeup Products

Sharing makeup products is surprisingly common amongst ladies and it's a terrible habit! Ladies when touching up end up passing around tubes of lipsticks, lip gloss and balms, mascaras and so on between each other for quick use and in process transfer bacteria and even more! Makeup products and tools are the perfect breeding places for bacteria. Avoid and never share your makeup products.
