Use makeup brushes to promote products

Although makeup brushes are so tiny, they usually work really well during promotion.
 
For cosmetics manufacturers and shop, their products will more popular if has some beautiful and mini makeup brushes inside the cosmetics box.
 
So many cosmetics boxes equip makeup brushes, even if not, the cosmetics suppliers may give customers some makeup brushes as a gift to promote their cosmetics. That is why many famous brands custom makeup brushes with their own logos from makeup brush factories in China or other countries.
 
For beauty salons, giving makeup brushes as gift is also a good way to attract customers. Think about that, after a comfortable makeup, the makeup artists smile and put a beautiful makeup brush set into your hands to express their respect, won’t you happy and have a very good impression on this salon?
 
Even for these shops who sell female clothes and shoes etc which has nothing to do makeup, it is also a good way to give customers makeup brushes as gifts. As long as the selling goods are for females, you can promote your products via makeup brushes.
 
As long as you think and try, you will find that makeup brushes can help your sales, while with much lower cost comparing with advertisements.

Can Toney brushes compete with MAC?

Some may laugh at this question. MAC is such a famous international brand, while Toney is just an unknown Chinese makeup brush factory; it is ridiculous to bracket them together.
 
I recognize that Toney can not compete with MAC in international influence; however, I believe that not only for makeup brush wholesaler but also for worldwide users, brand is not the only standard for their choice. Good quality and at the same time at a moderate price, should be the standard for us to choose makeup brushes.
 
Famous brands always pay a lot of money to promote their brushes, so their makeup brush cost is very high, which will finally afford by customers. Therefore, their makeup brushes are really expensive for salariat. To reduce cost and attract more customers, many famous brands custom makeup brushes in Chinese makeup brush manufacturers and factories at low price, and ship the finished brushes to their headquarters, then sell these makeup brushes to worldwide.
 
Some may recommend MAC brushes for the high-grade bristles and handles, while it is just material issue not technique issue; if with the same material, Toney can also manufacture makeup brushes with the same grade and quality, but with much lower price, as our labor cost is very low.
 
Being a makeup brush manufacturers for about ten years, Toney has gained our fames by our good quality brushes. Welcome to custom makeup brushes or wholesale makeup brushes from Toney.

How Often Should You Clean Makeup Brushes

You know you shouldnt keep mascara for more than three months; it rarely lasts that long, anyway. Also, your favorite eyeshadow isnt around long enough to need an expiration date. But have you considered your makeup brushes? Good quality makeup brushes can last for years, which is wonderful on the budget; however, if you dont wash them regularly, it can be awful for your complexion and allow that accumulated dirt and bacteria to go right back on your skin every time you apply powder.

Minimum: Once Weekly

You heard it right--once a week should be the minimum and not just for the over-achievers or the germaphobic. Choose a regular day of the week, or have a little brush cleaning ritual every weekend. Before you paint your fingernails is best.

Problem Skin: Daily

If you deal with acne or random outbreaks, have rosacea or very sensitive skin, you should wash your makeup brushes daily. Simply make it part of your regular beauty regime every morning. It only takes a few extra moments to wash those makeup brushes and your skin will thank you.

Using Shampoo

The most common method of cleaning makeup brushes is to simply hold each brush under warm running water, lather up with a tiny bit of shampoo, rinse clean and then allow to air dry. When drying, stand the makeup brushes up or lay them so the bristles are hanging off the edge of the sink; you dont want them to simply sit in accumulated water and stay soaked all day. They wont be clean and it can cause damage to the brushes. For those with very sensitive skin, a gentle makeup remover or a baby shampoo might be the best choice for cleansing makeup brushes.

Using Special Products

There are special makeup brush cleansers available and they will work fine to clean your makeup brushes. Essentially, most are the same as any gentle cleanser. Play around and see what works best on your brushes and if your skin seems to react to any particular product. Be sure that whatever cleansing option you choose, you dont have any soapy residue left in your brushes after the final rinse.

When to Replace makeup brushes

Good quality makeup brushes can endure a lot of washing and using. All good things do come to an end eventually, so when you notice the bristles getting fuzzy, breaking off, or refusing to lay flat, its time to replace the brush.

Make Your Own Makeup Brush Cleaner

Cleaning your makeup brushes is very important to keep infections and other ickiness from contacting with your skin. However, makeup brush cleaner is rather expensive, so why not make your own makeup brush cleaner out of stuff you have in your house?
It is very easy

Instructions

Things you’ll need:

  • dish or container to mix ingredients in
  • spoon to mix with
  • 1 cup distilled or purified water
  • 1 tablespoon alcohol
  • 1 tablespoon shampoo (baby shampoo or a gentle shampoo work best)
  • 1 tablespoon leave in conditioning spray (optional)
  • measuring cup
  • measuring spoons
  • bottle to put the cleaner in when finished
1. To make your own makeup brush cleaner, you must first, combine your water, alcohol, shampoo, and leave in conditioning spray into your mixing container or dish.
2.  Next, stir the ingredients SLOWLY. If you stir too quickly it could cause the shampoo to suds up, which is exactly what you dont want, so take your time mixing.
3.  Last, but not least, simply pour the mixture into a bottle and start cleaning your brushes. If you dont have a steady hand, you may want to use a funnel for this last step. I like to put half of the mixture into a small spray bottle and half into a regular bottle so that I can use it to deep clean and spot clean my brushes.

Tips & Warnings

  • Adding the leave in conditioner is not necessary, but it will keep the hairs on your makeup brushes soft.
  • Keeping your makeup brushes clean is absolutely necessary to avoid infections.
  • If you have an infection in your eyes such, avoid using your makeup brushes as you dont want the bacteria on your brushes or in your makeup. Applying makeup over infections can also slow down the healing process.
  • Keep the mixture out of the reach of children!

Clean your makeup brushes if you want a healthy skin

 
Your makeup brushes and applicators may breed grounds for bacteria, which can lead to acne, clogged pores, and impurities on your skin. Not so pretty. On January 26, health and beauty blog, Blisstree offered a few tips to keep your makeup brushes fresh and tidy.
First step, make sure your makeup hasnt expired. Mascara, because of its proximity to the eyes, should be replaced every three months, states Blisstree. "Most other makeup should be discarded after one year," said Dr. Carol L. Clinton, of skincare company Timeless Skin Solutions, in the article. "Youll notice that its consistency changes, and that any SPF in the product will have deteriorated."
Her advice: Clean your makeup brushes weekly to keep a significant amount of bacteria from accumulating in the brush. If you use a makeup brush daily to apply liquid makeup, however, youll need to clean it daily.
Blisstrees tips for cleaning makeup brushes:
1. Shampoo or facial cleaner: Since most makeup brushes are made of natural hair, dabbing some shampoo into the palm of your hand and swirling the brush around in it under warm water should do the trick. Facial cleaners work well too.
2. Vinegar and water: To kill bacteria on your makeup brushes, make a solution of one part vinegar and two parts water. Dip the brush into the vinegar solution and rinse in clean warm water.

3. Makeup brush cleaners
: You can also purchase a specialized makeup brush cleaner, with some options to spray on and wipe off. Prices range from around €10 to €25. Sephora sells one for around $14/€11, as do Clinique and Bare Escentuals.
