Our Hot Champagne Makeup Brushes Set includes all these essentials, making it perfect for those building their first makeup kit. Choose synthetic bristles for cream products and natural bristles for powder products.

How often should I clean my makeup brushes?

Maintain optimal hygiene with this cleaning schedule:

Use gentle brush cleanser or mild shampoo, reshape while damp, and air dry completely before use.

What's the difference between synthetic and natural bristle brushes?

Understanding brush types is crucial for optimal makeup application:

  • Synthetic Brushes:
    • Ideal for liquid and cream products
    • Don't absorb excess product

    • Best for powder products
    • Superior powder pickup and distribution
    • Create a more natural finish

Our brush sets include both types to ensure optimal application for all makeup products.

Follow these steps for optimal makeup sponge use:

  1. Dampen the sponge with clean water

  4. Utilize different parts of the sponge:
    • Pointed end: Under-eye areas and corners

Important: Clean your sponge after each use to maintain hygiene.
