How long does it take for makeup brushes to dry completely? Cleaning makeup tools like sponges and brushes is essential to maintaining their longevity and hygiene. But drying the brushes is just as important, as dry brushes apply makeup more effectively. So when you're going to a party, you're often tempted to use a hair dryer to dry your brushes faster. Is this method safe for the brushes? Wobs.ua tells you how to wash and dry makeup brushes with the help of the short instructions below.
Buying makeup brushes and taking care of them: some important tips
Before you order makeup brushes , you should know the basic rules of brush care – especially those related to drying. The process of air drying makeup brushes can take anywhere from two to twelve hours (or more), depending on the size and density of the brush. Thin fan-shaped makeup brushes can dry in two to three hours, while dense kabuki brushes can take twelve hours or more.
Here is a step-by-step guide to help you dry professional makeup brushes:
Clean your brushes. Wash them in warm water with a mild detergent (such as baby shampoo or a special brush cleaner). - Wring out the water. Once your brushes are clean, wrap them in a towel one at a time and gently wring them out to remove as much water as possible.
- Lay them flat or put them in the dryer. Lay clean brushes horizontally on a towel or paper towel on a flat surface. Avoid drying brushes vertically in a cup with the brush heads facing up, as water will drip onto the base of the brush, damaging the glue and the brush handle. If you have limited space, purchase a makeup brush drying rack - this tool allows you to dry your brushes, preventing damage and maintaining the shape of the brush.
- Allow the brushes to air dry. Air drying is the safest and most effective way to dry your brushes. Using a hair dryer or other air-powered tool can distort their shape or cause them to lose their hairs much faster due to the glue melting. Avoid areas exposed to direct sunlight as this can bleach and warp your brushes.
That's why it's important to buy makeup brushes that are easy to care for and won't take up much time.
