メイクブラシ

There are so many makeup brushes to choose from, but at bareMinerals we’ve created vegan, cruelty free makeup brushes for a number of reasons. First, the synthetic fibbers in our vegan makeup brushes mimic fingertip application. Second, synthetic fibber bristles won’t absorb foundation, reducing product waste. And lastly, each of our products are cruelty free because we believe there’s a better way to be beautiful that doesn’t involve animals.

When it comes to applying foundation makeup, you can count on makeup brushes to give you that flawless finish you’re looking for. Whether you’re using a densely-packed brush for contour and bronzing or a fluffy foundation brush for full coverage, we have you covered. And don’t forget a powder brush for our Mineral Veil finishing powder!

If you get only one makeup brush, let it be eye makeup brushes. The impact of using even just an eyeshadow blending brush can dramatically elevate your look. Plus, makeup brushes for eyes can also be a multipurpose tool: Use an eyeliner brush as a lip blending brush, or use for contouring the nose.

Cleaning makeup brushes is essential to prevent bacteria buildup and ensure optimal performance. Use a gentle brush cleanser or a mild soap mixed with water. Swirl the brush in the solution, lather, and then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles. Lay them flat on a clean towel to air dry.

After washing, gently squeeze out excess water from the brushes. Reshape the bristles and lay the brushes flat on a clean towel with the bristles hanging off the edge to allow for proper airflow. Avoid standing brushes upright while wet, as water can seep into the handle and loosen the glue holding the bristles.

It's recommended to clean makeup brushes at least every two weeks for regular use. Brushes used for liquid or cream products, like foundation or concealer, should be cleaned more frequently—around once a week—to prevent product buildup.

Store makeup brushes upright in a brush holder or container to keep the bristles from touching surfaces. Ensure they are placed in a clean and dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent moisture and bacterial growth.

Vegan makeup brushes are brushes made without any animal-derived materials. They use synthetic fibers instead of animal hair, making them a cruelty-free and animal-friendly option.

Using face wash to clean brushes is not recommended as it may not effectively remove makeup residues and can leave behind residue on the brushes. It's best to use a specialized brush cleanser or mild soap for thorough cleaning.

A fluffy powder brush with soft, densely packed bristles is ideal for applying setting powder. This type of brush evenly distributes powder, helping to set your makeup without disrupting your foundation.

The lifespan of makeup brushes varies based on usage, quality, and maintenance. With proper care and regular cleaning, high-quality brushes can last several years. Cheaper brushes may have a shorter lifespan due to wear and tear.

Essential makeup brushes include a foundation brush or sponge, a powder brush, blush brush, eyeshadow brushes (for blending, crease, and lid application), and an angled brush for brows or eyeliner.

A foundation brush provides more controlled and precise application, often resulting in a fuller coverage look. A sponge, when dampened, offers a more natural and dewy finish with buildable coverage. It's a matter of personal preference and the desired finish.

For powder foundation, use a dense, flat-top brush. Swirl the brush in the powder, tap off excess, and buff onto your skin using circular motions for even coverage.

To apply tinted moisturizer with a brush, use a dense, flat brush or a stippling brush. Dot the tinted moisturizer onto your face and use the brush to blend it in with gentle, circular motions for a natural finish.

A silicone beauty blender is a makeup applicator made of silicone, typically in a teardrop shape. It's used to apply and blend makeup, including foundation and cream products. Unlike traditional sponges, a silicone beauty blender doesn't absorb product and is easy to clean.

To apply makeup with a lip brush, dip the brush into your lip product and gently outline your lips first. Then, use the brush to fill in the color evenly. Lip brushes offer more precision and control, especially when working with bold or intricate lip looks.
