When it comes to makeup brushes, they don’t come with an expiration date, yet many brushes go bad. Here’s how you can check if your brush needs replacing:
Check the shape:
Brushes are carefully tapered, rounded, flattened, or angled a sure way to specify their use, and their shape can disclose to you a great deal about them. It’s easy for brushes to dry out of shape when you wash them; however, if you find that the brush doesn’t come back to its original condition after a few more washes, it’s time to toss it away. The brush no longer fills its need and saving it, having it lay around is just going to produce a mess and assemble microbes.
When it no longer blends the same:
The purpose of a brush is to blend in your makeup seamlessly. If you notice that a brush used to apply product flawlessly is now applying the product unevenly to the skin, its time to replace it!
They start feeling harsh on the skin:
Makeup brushes, be it natural or synthetic hair, should always be soft if you find that a particular brush has started feeling harsher and scratchy on the skin, times up!
They smell funky:
When you wash your brushes, they should only smell like the cleaning agent you used to clean them. If you feel like your brushes have been smelling a little funky and off, toss them away!
They’re shedding a lot:
If you find that your brush has been shedding way more than usual and losing its shape, know the glue is coming loose, and it’s time for you to replace it with a new one.
