Skin allergy may be caused by makeup tools

Skin allergy has no certain relation to weather, season, skin problem or skin care products; if your skin repeatly suffers from allergy, and you have change the skin care products and there is no big change of external environment, but the allergy still exists, then you should check your makeup tools. Clean your makeup tools and lay them on sunshine, then you will find that the allergy disappears. If it is the quality problem of your makeup tools, it is better to throw them away and buy good ones.

The following is the anaphylactogens of skin allergy:

1.       Makeup brushes and powder puffs

In daily makeup, makeup brushes and powder puffs are essential, but many girls always ignore their cleaning. It is better to clean the makeup brushes and powder puffs every day with clean water. During makeup, makeup brushes and puffs are easy to have cosmetics left, if not clean in time, some bacterial will grow. If your skin touches such makeup tools for long time, it is easy to have skin allergy. Especially in summer, with temperature rise, bacterial is easier to grow, therefore, the daily cleaning of makeup brushes and puffs is very important.

While cleaning the high grade makeup brushes, it is better to wipe the bristles with clean tissue, and then clean with mild detergent, then wash in clean water, suck dry with tissue and naturally dry the brush in the shade.

2.       False eyelashes

Now many girls pay much attention on eye makeup, and they pay a lot time on eye makeup every day. False eyelashes have been a fashion trend in young girls, while many girls do not want to cost much on the small false eyelashes, so they usually buy the false eyelashes in small shop which have bad quality and are easy to cause skin allergy.

Doctor said that another reason of skin allergy caused by false eyelashes is the bad quality of the glue used to stick false eyelashes. So it is better to choose the special eyelash glue with good quality.

3.       Double-fold eyelid glue

 Every girl is crazy to have beautiful eyes, so double fold eyelids become the dream of many single-edge eyelid girls. But they do not want to face lift, so it is better to use double-fold eyelid glue eye day.

However double-fold eyelid glue is in fact a kind of double faced adhesive tape which will cause skin allergy while touching skin, and some girls use the double-fold eyelid glue all day long, the glue sticks to the eyelid skin with long time, so many girls have eye skin allergy.

If fact, using eyelid glue with long time can not have permanent effect. Also the skin around the eyes is very thin and tender, frequently pull will hurt skin and reduce the eyelid elasticity, and also may cause eyelid skin allergy, coarse skin and even cause eyelid hung loose and gray. So if not necessary, it is better not use double-fold eyelid glue.

  

Brad Pitt or makeup brushes

If I were stranded on a desert island,

The only survival choices left me are Brad Pitt and makeup brushes,

I love Brad Pitt so much, but I had to choose makeup brushes,

Because I want to look good when found by the rescue team! “

 

This is from MAC’s global artistic director NADINE LUKE who is to promote the new MAC makeup brushes.

 

This great advertisement push me stand in front of MAC counter, clearly look through all the makeup brushes. However I have been lazy for too long to recognize their function , eyeshadow brush , blush brush , lipstick brush and so on ,I usually only use liquid foundation and blush, and only know the difference in bristle quantity, length and shape, or sometimes I will consider if the makeup brushes are made of pony hair or something else.

 

Once I was crazy for a man Hong Kong makeup artist named Joseph, seeing that he coolly took various makeup brushes from a black makeup bags, and then applying in my face for several minutes, then I look much better. After that I impetuously buy a bunch of makeup including blush, lip gloss, eye shadow, eyeliner, powder, and of course a full set of makeup brushes (and buy the most expensive BB makeup brushes (Joseph is the makeup artist of BB). If can not find in China, I will ask friends to buy from Hong Kong, however, now all cosmetics and makeup brushes have been staying in my table for a long time.

 

My crazy to makeup only lasted six months, that time I got up early every day and use makeup brushes to makeup for half an hour. However, finally I give up.

Now I imagine that if I face the same choice, which should I choose? Brad Pitt or makeup brushes? I believe my answer will be makeup brushes, but with different reason.

 

I also love Brad Pitt,

But I have to choose makeup brushes,

As if I can not be beautiful in front of Brad Pitt, I would rather he never appear in front of me.

So I give up Brad Pitt and choose makeup brushes.

Females will be easily infected by cosmetics trials

A new USA research indicates that the trial cosmetics in department stores contain various insidious bacterial and virus including colon bacillus, which is really a threat to female heath. The USA Food and Drug Administration support this result and suggest customers not share cosmetics.

 

Insidious risks

It is found that the so called trials hide various insidious bacterial and virus which can cause people be infected by colon bacillus or fall victim to disease like conjunctivitis.

 

On 24^th, the England Daily Mail quoted the words of Professor Elisabeth Brooks-a Biology professor of Jefferson Medical University in Pennsylvania, who is the research leader: wherever see colon bacillus, you may associate it with excrement, that means that someone does not wash hands after relieve and put her fingers directly into cosmetics.

 

It is shocking that the researcher find the colon bacillus and herpes simplex virus in all inspected cosmetic trials.

People infected colon bacillus will have stomach-ache, diarrhea phenomenon, or even have life danger; herpes can lead the mouth and lips grow a boil. Besides, staphylococcus and streptococcus are also found in the cosmetics trials.

 

Avoid sharing

The research teams took 2 years to collect the cosmetics trials used on face, eyes and lips from department stores, counters and drugstores, take the cosmetics samples and analyze the growth root of bacterial and virus in these cosmetics trials.

 

The research result shows that more than 67% cosmetic trials are infected at different level, the infection rate of samples taken from Saturday is 100%. Sharing cosmetics may be affected many diseases, such as  herpes zoster and conjunctivitis etc.

 

Saturday is usually the busiest day in department stores, with most customers, and cosmetics trials is easiest to be polluted.

 

The USA Food and Drug Administration indicate that: do not share or exchange cosmetics used on eyes, even if she is your good friends. The bacteria carried by others are harmful to you, and the cosmetics trials used by many people have even higher rate to be polluted.

 

For safe consideration, the USA Food and Drug Administration warn customers not share cosmetics.

 

The research also points out that with makeup on face for too long time can also lead to bacterium growing. The makeup artists always tell you that makeup itself is harmful to health.

 

Suggestion

The researchers suggest that: while trying cosmetics, trials can firstly use tissue with alcohol to clean the surface of cosmetic trials. For lotion, choose those that no need to use fingers to dip; for lip gloss, can use disposable Swab instead of common makeup brushes.

 

If customers want to try before purchasing, Brooks suggest you ask individual trials from counters:” we have checked hundreds of counters, every counter has disposable makeup brushes and cotton pads, they are just behind the counter, and are only taken out upon customer requirements.

 

The researchers also suggest that cosmetics for sensitive position like eye or lip should be used with extreme caution, it is best to clean the face after the trial.

USA Research team: Cosmetic Trial will bring a lot of health risks

A research team in Jefferson University took about 2 years to collect the trial cosmetics from department stores and cosmetic counters, and test the bacterial and virus in these trial cosmetics. The result is shocking: the colon bacillus, herpes simplex virus, streptococcus etc are found in these trials, especially the trials collected from Saturday, the bacterial infection rate is 100%.That maybe because there are too many customers at Saturday and the sharing frequency is high, so the trials have high chance to be polluted and infected.

 

The research report believes this result has something to do with cosmetics sharing. For example, the colon bacillus can result in bellyache and diarrhea, the colon bacillus is found in cosmetics maybe means that someone does not wash hands after relieve and put her fingers directly into cosmetics; herpes can lead the mouth and lips grow a boil, so sharing lip gloss may be infected; streptococcus will cause conjunctivitis, it is related to the sharing of cream and eye shadow. Also ,to save cost some suppliers may use the expired cosmetics, which is also a health risk.

 

If you want to try the Lotion, it is best not to dip by fingers; if try lip gloss, we should use swab and avoid of sharing cosmetics; if try cosmetics used on sensitive position like eye or lip, it is best to clean the face after the trial.

The development strategy of Chinese cosmetics suppliers – natural raw material, creative package, shorter quotation valid period

China Sourcing Report: Beauty & Cosmetics shows that the Chinese makeup suppliers are seizing the emerging markets opportunity to enlarge their market share, and the main development trend of cosmetics industry will be natural, organic and mineral cosmetics.

Overseas revenue in the makeup brushes, makeup applicators and nail care tools line from January to May climbed 34 percent to $55.4 million.

 

The report shows Chinese suppliers are developing new cosmetics to have more profits; some suppliers said that they have purchased new equipments to manufacturer the popular natural, organic and mineral cosmetics. Also, creative package can help users to apply makeup and use makeup brushes more conveniently and attract more worldwide customers.

 

Suppliers’ strategy to export challenge

Despite of the good prospect, the Chinese makeup brush suppliers also face many challenges. The report said that the labor cost increase is the biggest challenge. Besides, the overseas markets have more and more strict supervision on cosmetics and makeup brushes. The design copyright and exchange rate etc are another concern of most cosmetics suppliers in China.

 

To keep the product competitive ability, the Chinese suppliers are trying to improve equipment, establish more strict quality inspection system, and shorter quotation valid period to reduce the shock caused by exchange rate.

 

The other trends involved in the report including:

• 89% suppliers say they are adding more fund input
• 64% suppliers will use better package

• Suppliers will enhance the staff training and improve their working efficiency

The Chinese makeup products export value increase by 20%

And the Chinese makeup suppliers, although very cautious to the traditional European market, are also finding ways to gain new market.

 

Also, due to the cost increase in raw material and labor force, about 85% Chinese makeup suppliers increase their products price, most increase by 5%.

The China Sourcing Report: Beauty & Cosmetics released by Global Sources, involves 27 Chinese makeup suppliers who have been verified to have manufacturing and export license, and 134 types of most popular beauty and cosmetics products, which include cosmetics and makeup brushes used on face, lip and eye, as well as skin and nail care products, makeup roll and beauty tools etc.

 

The publisher of this report said: as Chinese makeup suppliers have successfully entered into the emerging markets like Asian, Middle East, Russian and South American , so  although being very cautious to the traditional European market prospect, they are still very confident that a continued presence in emerging markets will boost export growth in the coming year.

half-moon blush brush

These days, I have been communicating with a Bulgarian company who is the manufacturer of decorative makeup products and they need little brushes (mini brushes) to put in their blush box. They just told us that they prefer the blush brush with half-moon handle, so I send a type of existing brush which may meet their requirements for their confirmation.

 

Some information of the brush is as follows:

Name: half-moon blush brush

Size: 40mm*18mm (length*width)

Bristle material: goat or pony

Picture:

 

We also send them the picture and quotation for their confirmation.

 

The next day, we got their reply and they us send their blush box picture, unfortunately the blush box diameter is 40mm, so the brush size must less than 40mm, that means that our existing brush is not ok for their box, so the only solution is to open a new mould for the brush handle.

 

Then we sent them the quotation of molding fee for their confirmation. Generally the molding fee should be afforded by the customers who want to custom makeup brushes, while if the following order quantity is big enough, we, as a chinese makeup brush manufacturer for tens years, can somewhat reduce or cut the molding fees.

please firstly select synthetic brushes

Natural hair Makeup brushes are commonly made from squirrel, mink, sable, horse (sometimes called "pony" or "camel"), or goat hair. All animal lovers should realize that unless a makeup brush is specifically labeled as synthetic, Taklon, or nylon, its going to contain animal hair.

 

We often hear some makeup brush manufacturers claim that their animal-hair brushes are cruelty-free, or that no animal was harmed. However the only way we can be sure of purchasing and using makeup brushes that no animal suffering, is to use 100% synthetic brushes. (Some makeup brush manufacturers combine animal hair with synthetic, and then may say their makeup brushes are synthetic. Make sure theyre completely synthetic.)

 

In fact, theres no reason to use animal-hair brushes, especially when there are so many high-quality synthetic brushes available.

 

Now, there are still so many users who are crazy for natural hair brushes, and many so called makeup artists suggest us use the natural hair brushes due to the superior quality. As a reliable makeup brush factory who can custom makeup brushes, we can manufacture natural hair brushes as well as  synthetic brushes, and we are eager to getting more and more orders from worldwide customers and users , however, we prefer every customers to choose synthetic brushes other than natural hair brushes, so that we can protect more and more animals.

Are natural hair brushes really Cruelty-free

As an important makeup tools for many users, makeup brushes have many brands, types and materials. While the two major categories are: man-made (synthetic) and natural animal hair brushes. 

 

First of all, what is a cruelty-free makeup brush? Some makeup brush factory may tell you that their natural-hair brushes are 100 percent cruelty-free, promising that no squirrels, camels, badgers, or any other animals used to make natural-hair brushes were harmed in the manufacturing process.

I am really doubt with such promise. While I do not mean that these makeup brush companies are dishonest, but in fact, many makeup brush suppliers dont make their brushes in house but buy from the makeup brush manufacturers in other countries, so they do NOT know how the animals were treated. 

 

Actually, even if the animals are well-cared for during the manufacturing process, its still not totally cruelty-free, because the animals are kept and maintained for the purpose of using their hair to make brushes.

 

This brings us to synthetic makeup brushes, the truly, 100 percent cruelty-free makeup brushes.

 

Synthetic brushes have man-made, synthetic fibers. They dont contain any animal hair and are vegan and in most cases eco-friendly.

 

Better than natural-hair brushes, synthetic bristles are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. Theyre soft, clean, and overall superior products.  

Depending on the brand, the costs of synthetic brushes are different, but comparing to natural-hair brushes, they are much cheaper.

 

Toney, a Chinese makeup brush factory since 2000, have manufactured various synthetic brushes.

 

Now, there are still so many users who are crazy for natural hair brushes, and many so called makeup artists suggest us use the natural hair brushes due to the superior quality. As a reliable makeup brush factory to custom makeup brushes, we can manufacture natural hair brushes as well as  synthetic brushes, and we are eager to getting more and more orders from worldwide customers and users , however, we prefer every customers to choose synthetic brushes other than natural hair brushes, so that we can protect more and more animals.

cruelty-free makeup brushes

A lot of makeup brushes on the market have bristles that are made from animal hair, and in fact a surprisingly wide range of animals are used to supply the hair.

 

Animal Hair Bristles

Much of the hair for makeup brushes is a by-product of the food industry; but brushes might also be made with squirrel, sable, goat or pony hair. Different furs give different effects for different makeup brushes depending on the stiffness and other properties of the hair.

So now more and more often synthetic alternatives are being used to create high quality makeup brushes.

 

Man Made Alternatives

Nylon and Taklon are modern, man made alternatives to hair, which can be used to fashion makeup brushes. Although some makeup brush manufacturers will claim the hair in their brushes comes from a natural moulting process and animals are not harmed or killed to gather the fur, true vegans or those wishing to live an animal free lifestyle will prefer a synthetic makeup brush.

Toray and Taklon are very fine nylon hairs which many makeup artists swear by for giving clean lines when applying makeup. Softer, finer versions work well for blending. Although some people claim animal hair brushes work well with dry powders, as opposed to synthetic brushes working best with wet makeup, improved manufacturing techniques mean it is no longer so easy to find a distinction. Several cosmetics companies have opted for all synthetic makeup brushes which have excellent results, so buying synthetic does not have to mean compromising on quality.

 

Invest in your Tools

Because of the uniform nature of synthetic hairs, often brushes made from this are perfect for very fine detail work like lip lining, or close to the eye highlighting or shading. But it is possible to get great blusher style brushes in man made materials as well. It is a general rule that, as with all tools, you need to spend a little more to get the best quality, and people looking to buy a whole new kit of guaranteed synthetic brushes need to shop around and not just look at price. Going for very cheap makeup brushes could prove to be a false economy as often the bristles are quite hard and can cause soreness around the eye.

 

Extend Their Life

One tip to extending the life of your makeup brushes is to clean them regularly. We have introduced the detailed steps to clean your makeup brushes before, so no repetition here.

Vegan Makeup Brushes

Its so easy to overlook. We see a pretty set of makeup brushes at a great price—maybe at the pharmacy, the superstore, makeup brush suppliers or makeup brush factory- and we buy them. But as animal lovers, we must be more careful. Most of these makeup brushes, though very cheap,  extract a much greater price in terms of creature suffering. We need to be as vigilant about our makeup brush purchases as we are about our cosmetics.

What Not to Buy

When you purchase makeup brushes that have no specific labeling to the contrary, chances are the brushes are made at least partly from animal fur. So rule number one is: Unless they are from a makeup brush manufacturer you trust, dont buy makeup brushes that arent labeled as cruelty-free, vegan, or 100% synthetic.

Where to Buy Vegan Brushes

As a reliable makeup brushes manufacturer and supplier you can trust, we promise that no animals are hurted during the manufacturing of our makeup brushes

Why does bacteria grow in the makeup brush

When you use makeup brushes, cosmetic residue combined with dust and moisture gets trapped in the fine bristles of the makeup brush, leading to bacterial growth. As professional makeup brush manufacturer, our makeup brushes are processed by our anti-bacterial technology. However, proper maintenance is still required. This means washing your makeup brushes with regularity

Makeup Brushes Versus Fingers: Whats the Best Way to Apply Your Makeup?

These days, I am trying to use my fingers to apply  concealer, foundation and cream blush, but something lately was off with the application. The products hadnt changed. My skincare hadnt changed. Maybe it was a combination of stress, not enough sleep and a change in the weather.

 

Good tools truly are useful. Theres a reason why all the top makeup artists carry around dozens of makeup brushes. I know most artists will tell you a combination of fingers and makeup brushes is the way to go, but I dont think I can apply enough product with my fingers or getting the application just so.

Makeup brush colors

Some customers send emails to us and ask the question: how many colors do your makeup brushes have?

 

For some makeup brush suppliers or brands who are only engage in limited brush types, it is easy to reply, and they will give you prompt reply.

 

While for most makeup brush manufacturers who custom makeup brushes, it is quite a rough question and is somewhat hard for to reply.

 

To makeup brush manufacturer, the makeup brush color should be divided into 3 parts, that is: the bristle color, the ferrule color and the handle color. Each part’s color can be changed upon customer requirement.

 

The hair color can be dyed into natural, red, green, brown, purple etc, or even with several colors

 

For ferrule color, if the material is aluminum, the surface can be anodized to a variety of colors such as light silver, matte silver, light black, matte black, red, blue, green, gold, brown, purple, etc; if the material is copper, it usually can be plated into limited colors, such as light chrome color, light Nickel color, Matte Chrome, Matte Nickel color, light black, matte black, light gold, matte gold, etc

 

The handle color, if is Plastic handle, can mix any color; if is wooden or Bamboo handle ,can also be painted vary colors. 

 

As long as you have requirement on color, we can surely meet you.

About Purchase makeup brushes from China

Today, I saw a sentence in the website of a USA company who supply makeup brushes; they declare that “we are a cruelty free makeup brush company.  No animals are harmed to produce our makeup brushes. We do not purchase makeup brushes from china or outside of the USA”. 

 

Many Chinese makeup brush manufacturers must be angry with such description. They make a special mention of China, and show their superiority by stating not purchase from any China makeup brush manufacturer.

 

It is rather ridiculous. Makeup brush is a manual work, made in China or USA can prove nothing on brush quality. Every know that many famous brands like MAC and BB, custom makeup brushes in their Chinese makeup brush factory, and most ladies are crazy for MAC and BB brushes. Chinese makeup brushes are good enough to meet all quality requirements.

 

As a makeup brush supplier, this company may really once purchased Chinese makeup brushes with bad quality, so they get hurt and never believe in any Chinese makeup brush suppliers or manufacturers. In fact, most makeup brush factory in China are very good, but this company give no chance to them for cooperation.

 

By the way, I believe the special mention of China instead of other country can also prove the power of Made-in-China.

Guide to Caring for Makeup Brushes

Makeup artists must adhere to local and state regulations when applying makeup to their clients. Because the makeup brushes are used to apply makeup on different people, germs spreading infections must be avoided; therefore, stringent steps must be used to sanitize the makeup brushes. Cosmetic consultants, whether at a customers home or at retail cosmetic counter, should always supply disposable makeup brushes to allow the client to apply to makeup themselves.

At home, your personal beauty implements are your responsibility. Caring for makeup brushes will extend the life of expensive brushes and protect your skin. Special attention should be given to makeup brushes when used on sensitive or acne prone skin. To wash your hands before applying makeup is just as important as to use a clean brush.

You may clean your makeup brush by a brush cleaner purchased at the cosmetic counter. An aromatherapy spray cleaner, using alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, purifies and sanitizes. The makeup brush suppliers recommend you use this method to clean any makeup brush that you have purchased from them.

A method of using antibacterial alcohol wipes are used to clean the brushes. This also disinfects the bristles and allows a convenient and quick way to clean.

Mix warm water and baby shampoo to soak used makeup brushes in. This mild solution cleans and dissolves the oils from the makeup. Rinse and lay the brush flat to dry on an absorbent towel.

Natural bristles on a high quality makeup brush should be cared for to prevent the hairs from falling. The shampoo you use is a good choice for gently cleaning any makeup brush. After carefully rubbing the bristles with lather from the shampoo, rinse, then rub on conditioner. If its good for your hair, then it will be good for the hair on your makeup brush.

Tea tree oil added to shampoo and conditioner, will not only sanitize with its natural anti-bacterial agent, but make the natural bristles of the brush soft, but give it a like-new feel and sheen.

 

Just as every artist clean and dry their brushes and lay them flat on an absorbent towel to dry, you should also take special care of your makeup brushes. Whatever method you choose to use, always lay the brushes flat and never stand them up to dry. This allows the water to drip into the metal casing that holds the bristles, and will eventually cause the glue to deteriorate. Your brush will begin to shed and you will constantly be annoyed with loose brush remnants on your beautiful canvas, your face.

makeup tool

Makeup brushes or cosmetic brushes are a necessity in the application of blush or powder. Makeup professionals have stated that a good makeup brush is a beauty secret and is akin to what a good set of knives are to a chef. The biggest makeup hazard is caused by a bad makeup brush. You can buy soft, natural-bristle brushes for your cosmetic brushes at factory price of Chinese makeup brush manufacturers.

 

To get perfect makeup, you should use the right tools such as makeup brushes. The use of makeup brushes can highlight your best features. Makeup brushes help your makeup go on more easily and look a lot better. Makeup artists provide tips to suggest that the best brushes are made of natural bristle, with wooden handles. The handle should sit well in your hand so that you can get a great grip. Makeup applicators use a blush brush, a powder brush, an eyeshadow brush and finally a lip brush.

 

Discount brushes are the facial solution for creating a natural, anti aging, fabulous look. Care and treatment of any brush product should include soaking your makeup brushes, airbrush makeup and cosmetic brushes in a mix of hot water and antibacterial soap for a half hour. Leave them out to air-dry and use tissues regularly to wipe off your brushes. The secret is if the bristles stray off in different directions after prolonged use, simply cut them back.

 

Natural bristles that made from sable, goat, or squirrel are the best for makeup brushes, because the hairs have cuticles that grab the powder or blush and allow it to go on more evenly.

tips to use makeup brushes

Makeup Brushes can be foolproof tools for applying makeup, but it is definitely possible to use brushes incorrectly. Ive seen many women use their brushes in a rubbing or wiping motion on the face to know how often it can happen. Many women beat at their faces with a wild brushing motion as they attempt to apply their blush and eyeshadows. There truly is an easier and more effective method. When you wipe, beat, or heavily rub the makeup brush against the face, it may be removing what you just put on, not to mention wiping off the foundation underneath, which can result in a streaky uneven appearance. The best technique is to brush in short, light, purposeful motions that glide over the skin.

 

If there is a distinct line where the brush stroke was placed of if you feel an urge to use your finger to blend what you’ve just applied, most likely you are not using the makeup brush properly or your brush is too stiff for a soft application. (You may also have applied your foundation too thickly or use a foundation that is too greasy, or the blush color you have chosen is too strongly pigmented for your skin color.) You should not blend anything with your fingers — use your brush or the flat, square, thin sponge you use to apply your foundation. Remember, use your sponge for applying foundation and softening edges of your blush, contour, and eyeshadows.

 

Something else that is critical to using makeup brushes effectively — even though it may seem insignificant at first — is the way you pick up the powder on your brush before you apply it. Never mash or rub your makeup brush into the powder. Rather, gently place your brush into the powder without moving the bristles. You dont want to see the brush hair bend or splay. Always stroke through the powder evenly and always knock the excess powder off the brush before you apply it to the face. This prevents applying too much color to the first place your brush touches. When it comes to makeup, it is always easier to add than subtract!

1. Do not use hard or stiff makeup brushes.

2. Do not use a makeup brush that is too big or too small with bristles that are too sparse, they wont hold up over time.

3. Do not forget to knock the excess powder off the brush before you apply the color to your face.

4. Do not wipe or rub the brush across the face; instead, gently brush on the color with short even strokes.

5. Do not forget to use your sponge to blend out hard edges and soften your color application.

6. Do not forget to gently wash your brushes every month or so, unless you are using them on a variety of people, in which case you should be washing or disinfecting them every day.

Something You Dont Know About Makeup Brushes

·  DON’T try to boil your brushes to sterilize them. There is never any need to boil your brushes and doing so could actually ruin them.

·  Many professional beauty salons and websites offer cleaning products specifically designed to clean your make-up brushes. While we don’t feel there’s anything wrong about using these products, the shampoo/tea tree oil mixture works quite well and is much less expensive than many of the specialized products for sale.

·  If your makeup brush doesn’t come clean even after using the above described method, it may be time to replace your brush.

·  It is generally not a good idea to share makeup brushes as it is an easy way to also share bacteria that can lead to infection.

·  When washing your brushes, avoid scrubbing them too harshly or you may loosen the bristles.

·  Be sure to check any literature that came with your makeup brushes regarding any specialized or recommended methods of cleaning.

·  Make sure the shampoo you choose to use is for normal hair and does not contain conditioner. Daily clarifying shampoos are a good choice.

·  Don’t skip the Tea Tree oil—it is a great anti-bacterial, anti-fungal agent. Tea Tree oil is an all-natural substance with a host of beneficial uses.

·  Make sure your brushes are completely dry before using them again.

makeup brush cleaner

One of the most important things to have amongst your many makeup items is something to maintain all of them. For your makeup brushes you will need some type of makeup brush cleaner. It is not much use if your expensive brushes are getting gunked up over time because you are not cleaning them.

Not cleaning them not only affects the performance of your makeup brush but it lets bacteria and germs stay and thrive on your brushes. This can be cause for concern later as use on skin can cause infections and transfer diseases from the bacteria. This is where a makeup brush cleaner comes in.

Generally, a makeup brush cleaner is a liquid consisting of various chemicals that will thoroughly clean your brush without damaging it. You can use various ways of cleaning the brushes on your own with homemade products, but these are not always good for your brushes, they can damage them long term and eventually make them useless if not using the correct products. Keep it simple with hand soaps and shampoo and do not soak the entire brush, only the bristles.

 

When using a makeup brush cleaner there are a few ways you can do it.

One way is to spray both sides with the cleaner. Then take a paper towel and clean the brush. This is accomplished by wrapping the paper towel around the brush and squeezing. Be gentle so you don’t pull out the hairs if your brush. Then pull gently to wipe off the brushes. This is good for a quick cleaning for before and after use of the brush.

If you have a liquid that isn’t a spray, you can poor the cleaner into the paper towel and wrap that around your brush using the same technique to clean. Soak the brush with the paper towel and then wipe away the excess.

 

If you need to do a thorough clean of a dirty brush, you will need a little more effort.

First you will want to wet the makeup brush with water, then get an anti bacterial soap or even shampoo and lightly wash the brush with it. Then gently rinse off the brush. Repeat this process as needed till the brush looks clean. It is important to try and not get too much water on the base of the brush and only the bristles as you can do harm to it.

Once finished, shake out the brush and then reshape it appropriately. After that, lay it out on a paper towel so it can dry out overnight.

 

If you have a full set of brushes and want to clean them thoroughly. Try this:

Fill a large container or your sink with warm water. Mix in some of your soap and or shampoo into the water. Then swirl the bristles of your brush around in the water enough to get the makeup to come off. Then rinse off the bristles under a faucet till soap is gone, repeat until all makeup removed. Do this with all your brushes until your finished and them lay them out overnight to dry. Do not try to force dry them with anything. They will just need to dry themselves. Only shake them out and dab the excess, the rest is best left to drying on a paper towel overnight, this will help from damaging or pulling out bristles if your trying to dry them faster by hand.

Remember to use makeup brush cleaner regularly in order to keep them from getting extremely dirty. If you do this you will not have to do a thorough cleaning as much.

makeup brush hair

Makeup brushes are a very important and needed item for anyone who wears makeup on a day to day basis. It is a good idea to invest in a quality brush to get there very best results when applying and touching up your makeup. One thing you may not know are there differences between each kind of hair in a brush. What makes one better than the other for a particular task? If these are questions you ask than read on!
Now the hair of the brush is not the only factor in a good makeup brush. The construction of a brush consists of 3 main parts, the Handle, the Hair and the Ferrule. For those unfamiliar, the ferrule is the metal piece that binds the hair and the handle together. These are usually made of brass, copper, aluminum and nickel, all of these being durable metals.
Synthetic Makeup Brush – When dealing with makeup brush hair types, synthetic is usually discussed the most. The materials are often a synthetic nylon material that is generally much less expensive than natural animal hair. It is less absorbent than natural hair which is great in the way that it will not waste as much as a natural hair makeup brush. The con of a synthetic brush is they are not as durable and long lasting as a natural brush, many of them have a trend of becoming stiffer as time goes on.
Pony Hair Makeup Brush – A very common hair in makeup brushes such as cheek, powder, and contour brushes. This style is great for blending as they pony hair does not come to a point. There are different levels of softness depending on the horse and the location that the hair was removed. Such as the belly hair of a horse is softer than a brush made from the mane.
Goat Hair Makeup Brushes – Goat hair is a very common element in many brushes as it is generally the coarsest hair found in a makeup brush. It is very effective when applying powder as it will pick up more. It can be great for blending and buffing makeup. Best part is it will last longer than synthetic hair and get softer with use as opposed to a synthetic that gets stiffer over time.
Sable Hair Makeup Brushes – Sable is very popular as it is the most durable brush as well as being incredibly soft. With proper care they can last a lifetime and are well worth their price. There are a few levels of quality when it comes to sable. Kolinsky is the highest, red sable is in the middle and then there is just plain sable. These brushes are very resilient and are known for keeping their shape even after several uses. Sable hair are long and come to a fine point, generally very thick in the middle allowing a conical shape.
Squirrel Hair Makeup Brushes – It is known as the softest natural hair available in makeup brushes. It is thin, fine, and durable as well as consisting of a thick belly and a fine tip. These features give the brush a defining cone like shape. They are not from the typical backyard squirrel but from a long haired squirrel which makes these rare and popular. They are great for blending heavy pigment such as eye shadow brushes. It is important to note that since they can be pricey that some brushes are mixed with other types of hair so it is recommended to read the fine print before committing to a squirrel makeup brush.
Badger Hair Makeup Brushes – Badger hair is very firm and makes for a great fan brush, eyebrow brush and bronzer brush. Like a sable hair, the badger hair is thicker at the base and gets thinner near the tip. Even though it is very firm it also has a flexible quality to it. As always, keeping the brush clean is very important and will determine the lifespan of the brush.
As always it comes down to preference, if you are not particular and just want something affordable, your entire line of brushes can consist of synthetic brushes and you will be just fine. But, if you get the chance to invest in a fine natural hair makeup brush, you might find out you quite enjoy them.

cleaning makeup brushes

Obviously we can say to just use makeup brush cleaner and send you on your way. But without knowing the correct ways of cleaning your makeup brushes and why or why not to use certain items on them, you may end up a bit lost. Here we will expand on our initial introduction of cleaning brushes and list some more in-depth and alternative ways to clean your makeup brushes and how to incorporate makeup brush cleaner in these procedures.
Why cleaning makeup brushes?
Why else? Because they are dirty!  Cleaning your makeup brushes is necessary. If you don’t , they will become flawed beyond use and without cleaning out the old makeup it will ruin your new makeup during application. The other reason is for skin health care reasons. Cleaning your brushes keeps germs and other bacteria from forming on them and getting on and into your skin. You want to have the healthiest and best looking skin possible. This isn’t going to happen with dirty makeup brushes. It is probably no surprise that you would need to do this but there, now it is said.
What is a makeup brush made of?
The materials in a brush are defined by its purpose but most of all its quality. If you have a cheap makeup brush it is probably made from plastic or a sponge type material. When you start getting into the professional makeup brushes, they will be made of animal hair, typically sable. High quality brushes consisting of natural hair are used by the pros and can be found at art supply stores if no where else. Other types of animal hair are also used but most importantly you want something that spreads your makeup evenly and without much trouble.
Cleaning makeup brushes gives them a much longer lifespan.
You don’t want to have to keep replacing those nice expensive brushes now do you? Of course not! Cleaning your makeup brushes consistently keeps the bristled from becoming clogged up with residual makeup. You will find that after a few uses they will already began to become less accurate during makeup application and will not give as smooth a layer as they did before. Also, and very importantly, cleaning makeup brushes also gets rid of bacteria that has the potential to harm your skin. Your facial skin is very sensitive and can easily break out or get infected from a bacteria covering your brush. This is also the reason that we advise against sharing makeup brushes with others. You don’t know another person’s hygiene and what is on their face might have a bad reaction once it is on your face. Also, if someone is applying something to your face with their hands, there is no harm in making sure that they are washed. It’s your face after all.
So, how do we wash them?
Here is a step by step guide to cleaning your brushes
1.    After you are finished applying makeup, use a makeup brush cleaner. Either spray the brush and gently wipe off the excess or poor some into a paper towel and wipe the brush with that. If you don’t have any cleaner a baby wipe will do. Doing this will help the buildup and you won’t have to wash them as often.
2.    Once every week or 2, fill you will want to fill up your sink or a large bowl with a few inches of warm water. You can add more water if you have a large selection of brushes to clean. Put a tiny bit of antibacterial shampoo and mix it up in the water. Be sure the shampoo is not a combination of shampoo and conditioner.
3.    Dip the bristles into the water. Be sure to only get the bristles wet and not the base as overtime you can harm the handle and the adhesive holding it together. After dipping in the water, use your fingers or the palm of your hand and lather up the bristles. Rinse off the shampoo under the water thoroughly. Repeat as necessary.
4.    After it is clean to your satisfaction, gently pat the brush in a towel to get only the excess water. Reshape the bristles appropriately so they dry correctly and then lay them out to dry. This will generally take a while to dry so be sure to do this the night before you need to use them.
That’s all there is to it. There are other methods using different cleaning liquids. Rubbing alcohol is one but that can be a bit abrasive to the bristles and will dry them out, but its your call. Our advice is if it’s something you wouldn’t put on your face or hair, don’t use it. Also, an anti-bacterial face wash can be used instead of shampoo.
Bonus Info
- When washing, only get the bristles wet, try to keep everything else as dry as you can.
- If you cannot get the brushes clean after many repeats of this method, the brush might be a lost cause. Time to replace.
- Tea tree oil is a good addition as it is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal as well as being all natural.
- Make sure you have enough time to let the brushes dry before your next use. Do not try to use a wet brush.

refillable makeup brush

It’s unbelievable what the makeup industry comes up with sometimes. A new trend on a design that isn’t necessarily new but a bit more noticed now, the refillable makeup brush. It’s a bit more common in the professional makeup industry, often seen there as makeup is needed quick and fast between each shot sometimes. In that business you need stuff ready to go in a few seconds and these bad boys are the best.
Of course you don’t need to be a pro to get the benefits of these kinds of makeup brushes. With a refillable powder brush, you can put your loose powder into a little chamber in your makeup brush and get it flowing into your brush end usually with a few clicks. This does depend on the make and model of the brush but this way is pretty common. These kinds of brushes are great to have on the go, this way you can have your brush and powder in one rather than 2 separate items you need to carry and keep track of. These are not suggested for a full application as it would be much easier to use your standard brush and powder. BUT! These are fantastic to have for touch ups on the go.
Typically, there will be a small chamber where you would put your powder. Be sure not to fill these up as you probably aren’t going to use all that much in one run. The brush end will either be protected with a cap or a retractable type of mechanic. The powder will be distributed usually by clicking the end like you would a mechanical pencil. Some devices don’t use any clicking but just gravity to distribute through the bristles. In the end they all have the same purpose, to be able to travel without having to carry both a compact and a brush.
The refillable makeup brushes that do not use a pump to get the powder out work just as well as the ones that do really. However some of them do come with a dial that allows you to adjust the flow of the powder. You may want to consider if you are not looking into getting one with a pump. The bristle type comes in many forms from cheap plastic to natural hair of whatever type you want. Obviously prices vary too but they are not much more expensive then a regular makeup brush of similar quality. The pump and the dial versions will be more expensive than the plain ones.

replaceable makeup brush

In a recent survey, women said they do not clean their makeup brushes because it is a hassle, it is too time consuming or they simply forget. Dirty makeup brushes can harbor bacteria, makeup residue, oils and dust after a few applications, which can cause acne, skin infections, and aggravate existing skin conditions or simply detract from your skins appearance.

So now many makeup brush factory start to manufacture makeup brushes with replaceable, recyclable makeup brush heads, so women wont have to spend time cleaning, rinsing, drying and reshaping their makeup brushes, only to find they never quite work the same again. And they arent even clean. With replaceable makeup brush head, you can ensure flawless makeup application and protect your skin from blemish-causing bacteria.

Replaceable makeup brush head is very good and advanced, with this, women can use different brush head in one ferrule and handle, which will reduce their cost on makeup brushes.

The importance of makeup to social courtesies

Nowadays, no matter in office or some formal occasion, makeup has become a kind of respect to others. If females do not makeup in formal occasion, it will be considered to be disrespect to others; this has also become a trend in China. So most Chinese ladies makeup themselves in different occasions.

 

Generally, males have no such problem, while for females, makeup takes great roles in their appearance. They should learn to makeup themselves, use various makeup brushes, and know how to makeup in different occasion.

 

Office lady should apply light makeup in the office, which will shows not only respect to others but also the attention to the job; heavy makeup is not appropriate for office lady or formal occasion, but maybe good for some informal occasions.

 

We should not makeup or touchups in public. Office lady should not makeup during working hours or in public which is a disrespectful action and will cause some trouble to others. We should makeup before working hours or meeting, if really need touchups, we should do it in washing room or powder room.

Etiquette for when and how to put on makeup

There is an art to being a lady. Refreshing ones face is part of the art of courtship rituals, gender roles, manners and a necessary practice that separates the Brittanys from the J. Los.

 

So here it is: The Top Ten Rules of Etiquette for when and how to refresh ones makeup:

 

1. Less is more, especially when you are doing a quick retouch. If you need the works, use the mirror in the ladies room.

 

2. Peer quickly into a compact mirror or your reflection to gauge what needs to be done. Blink your eyes for crusting eye shadow. Check for little black dots of mascara and try to lift away. Run ring finger under bottom lash for runaway eyeliner. Make sure you are uniform.

 

3. Lipstick. Dab it. No lip liner unless in private and your aim is true. This is not to be attempted after some cocktails.

 

3. Powder. Okay to use to even out the foundation. Do not apply liquid foundation on a makeup retouch unless you are going to start from scratch. Never put on foundation in the bathroom unless it is teeming with natural light. The light wont help you and you cant pull it off. Tips on how to apply foundation, check here or here.

 

4. Errant hair near eyebrows STAY. Fix later.

 

5. Errant hair on upper lip. For starters, get a better bathroom mirror so this doesnt happen, but by all means, take care of it!!

 

6. Perfume. Only use outside. Rude otherwise. Perfume is a mysterious scent you carry, not a human body Lysol treatment. Generally, apply before you go out and not part of your carrying pack. Buy a smaller version of your favorite scent and keep it in the box in your purse. Also, do not apply a direct hit. Subtlety wins the day.

 

7. Where to apply. Generally, the ladies room. If not available: ask yourself whether Holly Go lightly apply her makeup here? Would it look charming if you were to take a peek and make some changes? Dont do it during meetings, in a moving car, at any table at any restaurant, or at your desk.

 

8. When to apply. Before going out to lunch. Not on the hour. Not because you were running late. Before leaving the office. During a date or a night out where the environs have changed, such as leaving packed nightclub and going to a new place.

 

9. Never when hes looking.

 

10. Not in the company of women unless you want feedback.

 

As a Chinese makeup brush supplier, Toney makeup brushes Co,.Ltd, supply various makeup brushes (Blush brush, Powder Brush,Lip Brush,KABUKI Brush,Eyeshadow Brush,Sponge Applicator,Makeup Brush Set) for ladies in different occasions.

How to Apply Makeup as a Man

Steps

 

1 Exfoliate. Before applying makeup, wash your face using an exfoliator and warm water. Rub your face gently in a circular motion to remove dead skin cells. Rinse with warm water and pat (dont rub) dry with a towel.

 

2 Apply Toner. Apply toner to a cosmetic pad and pat it lightly into your skin. Toner is meant to restore the skin to its natural pH level and remove any remaining dirt or dry skin cells.

 

3 Moisturize. Apply moisturizer with a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to your face and neck. Allow the moisturizer to absorb into your skin before proceeding to the next step.

 

4 Apply Concealer. Mix a little bit of concealer on the back of your hand with a fine makeup brush. Pick up a very small amount of concealer on the end of the makeup brush - you can always go back for more if you need to - and dab it on the center of a blemish. Move to the outer edge with a gentle circular motion, then blend the concealer into the skin.

 

5 Powder your Nose. Dip the tip of a powder brush in powder and dust it lightly over your forehead and face. Apply a little more pressure when you go over your upper cheekbones, to add definition.

 

6 Wear Lip Balm. Choose a clear or neutral-colored lip balm that you can use throughout the day. Not only will it give your lips a smooth appearance, but it will also prevent them from getting chapped.

 

7 Remove makeup daily. Leaving makeup on overnight is not good for your skin. At the end of the day, wash your face again to remove makeup. Finish by using moisturizer. Use a richer moisturizer at night if you have dry skin.

Tips to Apply Makeup as a Man

Get a concealer that is the same shade as your skin tone. If youre shopping, try it at the base of your face to see how it compares to your skin tone. Its best to judge a concealer in actual daylight, because fluorescent lights wont allow for an accurate match.

Dont touch your face during the day, as it will rub off the makeup and also increase your likelihood of acne.

       If possible, get a very close shave, then allow your skin to rest about 20 minutes before continuing with the rest of your routine.

       If you have oily skin consider using a shine control hydrating lotion.

       To add a touch of color try using a bronzer over your cheekbones, nose, forehead and chin. This is not uncommon among men and it is applied with a makeup brush. You can find bronzers made exclusively for men (packaging is somewhat different) but dont be afraid to try the many options made available to women. The counter and packaging may be different, but women have more options with color and finish.

       The makeup brushes that come with most bronzers are made of cheap plastic, or it comes with a puff sponge and cant apply powders evenly. Consider going to a makeup counter and buying a powder brush. These are very large brushes with soft hairs.

       Remember to use a moisturizer with a sunscreen on your face everyday, year round. Do NOT use Handlotion or body cream. Find something made for faces (less heavy oils and fragrance to irritate your skin) that has an SPF of at least 15.

       To add extra definition to your eyes, have unruly eyebrows waxed or plucked by a professional. There are supposed to be two eyebrows and you should never let your eyebrows grow too long. Trim!

       The older you are or the dryer your skin may require you to step to a heavier moisturizing cream. Some creams also have agents to help with wrinkles, reddening or other skin woes. Go to a makeup counter in the mall or a free standing store. Youll find it takes less time to speak to a consultant than it does to read misleading labels in a drug store.

       To avoid the crowds, visit these stores or counters weekday mornings when they are less busy. Men frequent these counters quite often, so you shouldnt be shy. Many brands (Clinique, Merle Norman, etc.) even offer mens skin care lines. You can even take a few minutes and let them help you apply the skin care to make sure you are doing it right. If you want to add color, try a few bronzers and let them help you get that concealer.

       You may need to adjust your concealer for winter and summer depending on how much sun you have. Dont be afraid to have seasonal products and go a few shades darker in the summer after youve had some sun.

       Try mineral makeup specifically designed for men. Mineral makeup is good for your skin, contains SPF protection, and is virtually undetectable. It is great if you have problems like acne or rosecea.

 

Warnings

Do not exfoliate immediately after shaving. Doing so will irritate your skin.

If cotton sticks to beard while using toner, put toner in a plastic spray bottle and mist it on to your face. Store it in the fridge for a cool sensation.

Dont try to conceal a spot that is open, weeping or bleeding. Makeup wont do a very good job and may only make it look (and feel) worse. Wait until its closed before you apply makeup on top of it.

 

Things Youll Need

       Exfoliator

       Toner

       Moisturizer

       Cosmetic Pads (100% cotton)

       Concealer or foundation

       A fine makeup brush

       Matte powder

       Lip balm

Man makeup

Concealer, bronzer, self-tanner, eyeliner -- it sounds like a checklist for a womans makeup bag. But they could be items in, yes, a mans makeup bag.
The last decade saw the "metrosexual" phenomenon, with men paying more attention to shopping, dressing and grooming. Now, established companies known for makeup and skin-care products for women are catering to the other gender with products to push mens style boundaries. Clinique has non-streak bronzer and concealer for men. Jean Paul Gaultier, which is mostly a fashion house of haute couture, has a two-in-one stick of concealer and eyeliner, also known as "guyliner."
Pete Wentz, a member of the musical group Fall Out Boy and husband to singer Ashlee Simpson, has a line of guyliners called WentzPentz. The new products have some people proclaiming a new wave in mens grooming.
"Globally, the mens grooming market continues to grow as many men are striving to take better care of their skin. The male consumer is becoming more informed about the health of his skin and (how) to slow the affects of aging," says Megan Marsanico-Byrne, assistant manager of Clinique Global Communications.
Patty Bunch, a celebrity makeup artist who has worked on actors Halle Berry, Billy Crystal, Tony Danza and Jennifer Aniston, says she knows men who dye their lashes or wear waterproof mascara to give new dimension to lashes.
"The truth is, women are taking advantage of all the anti-aging makeup and are looking fabulous, so the men better catch up. A little extra help never hurts," she says.
Tyler Thoreson, executive editor of men.style.com, the online home of Details and GQ magazines, says hes noticed "man makeup" but doesnt believe itll ever become popular. In fact, he laughs at the suggestion. "I think its completely idiotic. It gives true mens fashion and mens style a bad name. All of that should accentuate your masculinity, not undermine it," Thoreson says.
He acknowledges a demand for more grooming options for men but Thoreson says there probably are very few guys who would wear concealer or bronzer and stick with it.

how to distinguish BB makeup brushes

Many girls are crazy for BB makeup brushes; under such situation, many makeup brush suppliers or beauty shop declare that they have BB makeup brushes with much lower price. While after receiving such makeup brushes, many experienced girls realize that they are cheated, because these brushes are not real BB brushes.

So the question is: how to distinguish BB makeup brushes?


The key factors of makeup brushes are the bristles and workmanship. All BB makeup brushes are made of natural animal hairs with almost the same thickness. Touch your skin with BB brushes will be very comfortable, just like touch the superior furs, which is very smooth and with high resilience.

Also the BB brushes have light leather smell, the glue that use to fix bristle end have no smell.
The workmanship of BB makeup brushes is very good, there is no overlong or mix-color hair.
The ferrule part of BB makeup brush is straight to handle, no any distortion, no loose, no differ with handle in thickness, almost no joint gap.

Toney, as a reliable makeup brush manufacturer as well as professional makeup brush supplier in China, will never declare that we can supply BB makeup brushes, although we have been the OEM factory for many famous makeup brush brands. We can custom makeup brushes for any brand, so that our customers can sell and promote their own brush brands.

How to recognize fake BB makeup brushes

Many girls are crazy for BB makeup brushes; under such situation, many makeup brush suppliers or beauty shop declare that they have BB makeup brushes with much lower price. While after receiving such makeup brushes, many experienced girls realize that they are cheated, because these brushes are not real BB brushes.

1.       In the form of makeup brush set. We have been in makeup brush industry for many years, BB is very smart, they deliver their brushes to different OEM factories in different countries in case of the huge outflow of their brushes.
