    Make Up Brushes for Summer from @TheMakeupShow

    Besides throwing away your makeup every 6 months, it is really important to clean and replace your makeup brushes  regularly too!  If you don’t use brushes and use your fingers, make sure you wash your hands before and after you do your make up.

    Bdellium Tools Pink Bambu series brushes are professional eco-friendly makeup brushes with all sustainable bamboo handles and all vegan soft synthetic bristles with an anodized aluminum ferrule. Bamboo is one of the most sustainable resources and environmentally sound plants on Earth. Due to its rapid re-growth cycle, it can be harvested with virtually no impact on the environment. All of the soft synthetic filaments used in the Pink Bambu series are not treated with an antibacterial agent. The advantages of synthetic bristles includes less or no hair shedding compared to natural bristles, it is easier to clean and provides a light application. The synthetic bristles are hypoallergenic and 100% cruelty-free.

    I first saw these brushes at the Make Up Show NYC and I loved them! They are not too expensive and work really well as beginner make up brushes for professionals or just for everyday use. The bristles are pink and so is the handle. This summer, skip the foundation and use a tinted moisturizer and apply liberally with the 947 small face brush.

    These little pastel sponges from Glamour Grip have a lot of angles to help with precision and smooth application. This tool by Graftobian is and hourglass shape for special reason. The sponge is really soft when dry and even soften when moistened with water. You are suppose to use the pointy end around eyes and nose and the rounded end for cheeks and large areas. I feel like I have seen this sponge before in hot pink a few years ago under a different name.

    If you want to try a truly innovative sponge, the Magic Touch by Denessa uses air compression to perfect your make up application. They come in a a little tin and they feel almost space like. They are truly magically!  You press it against your skin and it make a little bit of product go a long way. You can use this wet or dry and they are reusable!

    If you absolutely cannot part with your brushes, make sure you clean them well. Use the Parian Spirit Professional Brush Cleaner – It contains citrus based spirits that will get all the impurities out.

    Looking forward to a beautiful and flawless summer!
