Makeup Brushes
Now adays, you can purchase makeup brushes at a very resonable price. If you spend the extra money on some good brushes, you can keep them for a long time. I usually use MAC brushes, just because they are very easy for me to pick up at the mall,(and because I get a huge discount for working on a television show:)). Even though they a re expensive, I still find that they shed on my face sometimes which is a little annoying. When I travel, I use a travel set. I sell these on my website for $15! www.rachelrossmakeup.com They come ina roll up bag, and they are great. They have 6 brushes inside, and that includes my favorite eyeliner brush.
Whatever brushes you buy, make sure that you keep them clean. If you reuse the same brush, you can spread dirt and oil all over your face, which will cause breakouts.
Every couple of weeks you should wash your brushes in warm water and shampoo. You will be so amazed at the dirt and old makeup that comes out. When they are clean, roll them up in a towel to soak up the water, and then lay them on your bathroom counter with the brush end hanging off. Or put them in a glass standing upright until they are dry.
If you are using your brushes on other people, you can buy some brush cleaner at Sally’s beauty supply, or Clinique and dip your brush into it and wipe them clean on a peper towel. It dries in a couple of minutes. That’s what the professionals do.
