9. Lip Brush<br />
A lip brush is great for applying lipstick <strong>and</strong> gloss. It is especially<br />
important when applying the deeper shades as<br />
it allows for a more precise application than when applying<br />
from the tube. It is also great for blending <strong>and</strong> mixing<br />
different lip colours together as well as blending out lip liner.<br />
10. THE SPOOLY BRUSH<br />
This tiny angle brush is especially important when trying<br />
to get those brows right, as it allows you to fill in<br />
even the thinnest part of your brows <strong>and</strong> also enhances<br />
the shape <strong>and</strong> colour of your brow. The spooly w<strong>and</strong><br />
removes mascara clumps <strong>and</strong> separates lashes.<br />
How to Clean Makeup Brushes:<br />
Not only do dirty makeup brushes breed bacteria, but they can<br />
also affect the colour of your makeup. It's super important to<br />
clean your makeup brushes. Just think about all the dirt <strong>and</strong> oil<br />
that accumulates on those bristles <strong>and</strong> how terrible it can be<br />
on your skin; especially if you continue using them in that condition.<br />
Skipping good, regular cleansing can lead to clogged<br />
pores <strong>and</strong> breakouts. Not only will cleaning your tools help<br />
keep bacteria off your face but it will also condition those precious<br />
tools <strong>and</strong> will help last a very long time.<br />
Here are some quick tips:<br />
• For heavily soiled makeup brushes, wash them with lukewarm<br />
water <strong>and</strong> a mild soap or baby shampoo. Alternatively,<br />
you can buy makeup brush cleaners in the shops.<br />
• For lightly soiled brushes, keep running the water through<br />
the brushes until you've rinsed away most of the old makeup.<br />
Make sure the brushes are angled downward into the<br />
stream of water. Remember to avoid getting water underneath<br />
the metal clasp of the h<strong>and</strong>le, as this will ruin the<br />
glue that holds the bristles together.<br />
• Leave the brushes to dry overnight on top of a towel or<br />
tissue. Let the brushes dry completely before using them,<br />
especially on powdered makeup. If your brushes are even<br />
slightly-damp, you may ruin your powder makeup. Additionally<br />
use a paper towel to dry off the bristles <strong>and</strong> shape<br />
them as you go.<br />
Investing in the right make up tools will ensure that your makeup<br />
looks marvellous all day long. So next time you go makeup<br />
shopping, remember to include these brushes as essential additions<br />
to your makeup collection, <strong>and</strong> steal the show wherever<br />
you go!<br />
