- Gently Squeeze Excess Water: After cleaning your brushes with a brush cleaner or mild soap, hold them under running water to rinse them thoroughly. Gently squeeze the bristles starting from the base to the tip to remove any excess water. Do not pull on the bristles, as this can damage the brush.
- Reshape The Bristles: While the brush is still damp, gently reshape the bristles with your fingers, restoring them to their original form.
- Use A Towel To Remove Additional Water: Lay a clean towel on a flat surface and gently press the brush onto it. Roll the brush back and forth to help absorb any remaining water.
- Dry Brushes Flat: Place your now towel-dried brushes on a fresh, dry towel with the bristle ends hanging over an edge to promote airflow. By doing this, you will prevent any water from seeping into the brush handle which can break down the glue holding the bristles together over time.
- Turn Brushes Periodically: Rotate your brushes every few hours so that all sides of the bristles get exposed to air and dry evenly. This will help speed up drying time.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight And Heat Sources: Do not place your brushes under direct sunlight or near heat sources like radiators or heating vents as this can damage delicate bristles and cause them to become frizzy or brittle over time.
- Allow Ample Drying Time: Let your brushes dry completely before using or storing them away in a makeup bag or brush holder. Depending on the thickness of the bristles, this can take anywhere from a few hours to an entire day.
By following these seven steps, you will ensure that your makeup brushes are dried in a manner that preserves their quality, function, and longevity.
