Makeup Brushes : How I have 2
Walking into a pharmacy one day, the bigger box of Model Co brushes had a AUD9.90 tag on. Upon closer inspection, the price before the discount : AUD50. Like every good bargain hunter/ beauty wannabee, I bought it. Makeup brushes are useful, because those makeup sponge tip does not always give you a look that you are going for. And brushes are easier to clean and dry, so it is a good buy generally.
By the way, this photo does not include the set that I have currently. I am looking to throw those away, as they are more than five years old. Prince Brat is four already, so that means they are closer to six than five. The bristles are going anyway.
Here a photo of the Model Co brushes
And the Purple gift brushes that I got free with purchase, sometimes loyalty does have it perks.
While not all of the brushes are the same, I can tell you now that even the quality is different. Yes, the ModelCo I did pay less than 10, but it is a discounted price. When I touch the bristles, they are soft and none of it falls out. Same goes for the purple gift, but you will notice that the brush heads are not as full looking, and there is a sponge applicator and an eyebrow comb. Running my finger over the bristles, they are slightly coarse. Until I try them out for a good amount of time, I cannot say much about these two.
By Experience
You get what you pay for in terms of makeup brushes usually. Yes, you will find bargains now and again, but there is good reasons why some brushes are more expensive than others. Mainly is the quality of the package. I have tried Nude’s kabuki brush, it costs a pretty penny but it is so soft and as long as you clean it right and dry it well, the brush lasts a good while.
I do have free brush sets, and I have thrown a lot away, as they just fall apart. I am not saying that all cheap makeup brushes will do it, but the risk is higher there. No matter expensive or cheap, maintaining the brushes is an important step in promoting longevity.
Which means, please do not clean your brushes with dish washing detergent or body wash, it’s not on and it ruins the whole thing.
Take it from the idiot (me).
Just lucky that I actually experimented on cheap gift brushes.

I never know where to start with make up brushes. There are so many of them! That’s quite a deal, though, isn’t it?
yeah it was pretty good deal
Oh brushes can make a world of difference and the nicer ones are far easier to clean. My daughter obsessed over them 🙂
me too! although I haven’t even started using mine
