Cleaning makeup brushes properly is important, but you do not always need a full wash between every colour change. A dry cleaning sponge can be useful when you want to remove loose powder pigment from a brush during a makeup session.
When is a dry cleaning sponge useful?
It is particularly handy when moving between powder shades, such as switching from a deeper eyeshadow to a lighter colour. It is designed for removing loose powder residue from the brush surface.
How to use it
- Swipe the dry brush gently across the sponge.
- Rotate the brush so different parts of the bristles contact the sponge.
- Continue until most loose powder residue has been removed.
- Check the brush before applying another colour.
Dry cleaning is not the same as washing
A dry sponge can help with colour changes, but it should not replace regular deep cleaning of makeup brushes. Follow a suitable brush-washing routine and allow brushes to dry thoroughly before storing them.
Keep your makeup station organised
A small dry-cleaning sponge tin can be kept beside your makeup collection, making quick colour changes less messy and reducing the need to reach for a clean brush every time you switch shades.
