Basic Make-up Brushes & Make-up Accessories
A good set of make-up brushes is a worthwhile investment. They will last for years if properly cared for and will not only make applying your make-up easier, but you'll get a much better look. Brushes should be cleaned daily with the Spray-on Brush Cleaner (which dries quickly) and washed weekly with the Brush Shampoo. Use a small amount of shampoo to wash your brushes, rinse them well and lay them flat to dry (if you stand them to dry you can warp the wooden handles). With care your brushes should last 10 years or more. All brushes are NOT equal. Our brushes are superbly handcrafted. We use the finest quality, all natural - first cut hair and the finest synthetics. All brushes are handmade, handwoven and made in the U.S.A. (unless noted). Our brushes are handshaped to preserve the natural tip rather than machine cut. We use nickel ferrules to provide a more secure fit on the handle. Handles are made from a close grain birchwood. This results in a smooth surface that is then coated with a high gloss lacquer. No detail in their construction has been overlooked and no animals are harmed in the production of our brushes.
