Use a Brush Roll

Many makeup artists and beauty bloggers use a brush roll to store their tools. It is easy to find one at any home supply store or online.

There are a few steps you can take to maintain your brush roll. If it is made of natural fibers, like sisal, you can dust it with a little talc or baby powder occasionally. You can also disinfect the roll by dipping it in rubbing alcohol for about 10 seconds before rolling it up with the brushes on top.

If your brush roll is made of synthetic fibers, like nylon, you should clean it with soap and water and then let it air dry for about an hour before rolling up your brushes on top.

It is important to keep your brushes in good condition. It will not only help you maintain your makeup routine with ease, but it will also extend the life of your makeup brushes.

Upcycle Old Candles

A lot of people are using makeup brushes to apply their makeup. However, they can often find themselves in a situation where they have no way to store these brushes. They might have bought a new set of brushes and when they are done with these, they don't know what to do with the old ones. One solution is to upcycle them into something new and useful like a candle holder!

I found this idea on Pinterest and decided it was worth trying it out for myself. I used an old candle holder that I had around the house and some old makeup brushes that I had laying around. The results were surprisingly good!

Try Magnetic Makeup Brushes

When it comes to makeup, you can never have enough brushes. The key is to find the right ones that will help you create your desired look and then store them in a way that they are always accessible.

There are many ways to store your makeup brushes, but magnetic brushes might be the best option for you. They are easy to use and won't get lost or broken like other types of storage methods. Here are the best magnetic makeup brushes you should consider buying.

Set of 6: This set includes six different brush heads that work with all types of skin on your face and body. With these magnetic brushes, you can cleanse your skin in just one minute, and they are much easier to use than washing brushes by hand. The brush heads also detach so that you don't have to worry about them getting dirty or damaged.

The most important thing about storing your makeup brushes is making sure that you have them close at hand when you need them.

Store in a Makeup Pouch

The first step to storing your makeup brushes like a pro is to make sure that you have a good makeup brush pouch. A good brush pouch will keep your brushes tidy, organized, and safe from damage!

The second step is to always use a safe place for storing your makeup brushes. You should always store your makeup brushes in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

The best way to store your brushes is by placing them in a makeup brush pouch. The reason for this is that the brushes are not touching each other, and the bristles don't pick up any bacteria or oils from their neighbors.

Makeup brush pouches come in different sizes so you can find one that fits your needs. You can try to clean your brushes with a mild soap or use a baby wipe in between uses. If you're going to use makeup brush cleanser, make sure it is made for waterproof makeup and not for the skin. A lot of the cleansers on the market are based around cleaning up after someone spills or smears their makeup, which will lead to more problems than simply washing your brushes in soap water.

Organize in Vintage Finds

There is no need to worry about your makeup brushes getting dirty and losing their effectiveness. You can keep them clean and organized by storing them in vintage finds.

Vintage finds are not only a great way to store your makeup brushes but also a stylish way to store your other items such as jewelry, accessories, and more. A lot of people often just throw their jewelry and accessories into a drawer. However, this can lead to many damaging factors such as the beads on necklaces and rings getting tangled with other items. If you're looking for an inexpensive alternative, consider using vintage finds like jars from Anthropologie and Pottery Barn which will keep your brushes organized, looking stylish and allow you to use your money in other areas of your budget.

Upgrade Jars and Vases

There are two types of storage options for makeup brushes: a drawer or an upgrade jar.

Upgrade Jars: These jars are typically made of glass and have a lid that can be screwed on tightly to prevent the bristles from getting tangled. They also have a rubber ring that helps to keep the water from leaking out. This can come in handy if you have a leaky jar. The jars are typically smaller than the ones you might use for food, but they are perfect for holding small amounts of water or hair care products.

Drawers: The drawers are typically made of wood and come in different sizes depending on how much space you need to store your brushes. You can also find them with different types of handles and knobs for easy grip. Metal Brush Holder are like the more aggressive, tougher option for brushes.
