How Many Eyeshadow Brushes Do You Need?
We’ve all heard “less is more,” but there’s really no better advice when it comes to beauty tools. It’s all about having the right ones in your makeup bag that can have the biggest payoff. One may think having a large selection of eyeshadow brushes is essential to creating a variety of eye looks. However, we’ve made the process of ensuring you have the right tools for any look easy with our eyeshadow brush sets. When deciding on the correct set of eyeshadow brushes, consider what eye looks you typically wear. Whether your style is a natural daytime look or a more dramatic evening eye look, you may consider various eye brushes. However, it should be noted that most eye brush sets typically include good brushes for eyeshadow for blending, defining, and detailing, making most sets versatile for any eye look. Lastly, the quality of eye makeup brushes can make all the difference. Our vegan and synthetic bristle brushes are cruelty-free and made with FSC-certified wood handles, ensuring sustainability and durability.
Cleaning and Maintaining Your Eyeshadow Brushes
Things we'll never regret: washing our makeup brushes regularly, even if it’s the last thing we want to do. If you’re a beauty lover like us, setting aside time to regularly clean your brushes prevents bacteria and makeup buildup and maintains the brushes’ longevity. We recommend washing your brushes weekly with a gentle brush cleaner and lukewarm water to remove impurities. When you don’t regularly clean your brushes, the residue of your makeup can build up and directly affect the way your makeup applies to the skin. Avoid using airtight containers where moisture can live and promote bacterial growth. Instead, properly store your brushes upright in a brush holder or lying flat in a clean, dry area. With a regular cleaning schedule, you’ll notice the difference it’ll make when you apply eyeshadow.
