Easy Way to Dry Your Makeup Brushes


HOW HAVE I NOT DISCOVERED THIS SOONER?

Have you ever seen a tutorial and thought to yourself OMG this is gENIUS and then wonder why didn't you think of that? Well, that was my reaction when I first saw this brush drying technique months ago when I was scrolling over Instagram. I know this isn't anything new, but at least I haven't seen anyone on my timeline is using this method. 

p/s who wants a review on ebay / jessup brushes ? *kenyit-kenyit mata*

Tadaaa! roll up a towel! Before this I just lay down my brushes flat on kitchen towel but by doing so, water can still run into the brush handle and later loosen the glue. The key is to let the brush dries upside down - bristle side down, handle side up. Brush tree is no where can be found in my country and I'm too lazy to figure out the proper way of using the hair-tie technique or hangers like what I always see on Pinterest. 

With this, you would only need a towel and roll it up to create an angle so that the brushes can be place slanted. I'd suggest a bigger towel, roll it long ways until 3/4, and the last part can be a base to soak up excess water. Alternatively, you can prop something under the towel to make the edge more higher. THIS METHOD IS SO EASY AND BRILLIANT. HA-


Obviously mine wasn't completely upright or slanted in above pictures because I used a small towel ;P but at least it could help in lessen the amount of water seeping in, eh? Hope this help! Do let me know if you have other method of dying your makeup brushes. (*⌒▽⌒*)θ~♪
