Ah, I love the idea of a retractable brush for same bag travel - perfect! As for the non-sponge usage comment, doesn't using a brush on your face pick up the oils and transfer them back into the compact the next time you use it too, or is it OK because it is such a light sweep rather than a wipe/drag?
I see what you're saying about the oils going into the compact from the sponge, but you have to remember that 9 times out of 10 your face is clean before you apply your makeup. At least I hope this is the case for women. So you are applying it to a clean surface. PB makes really great points about the brushes. I'm kind of like her in that was as well. I'm a germaphobe. lol
i don't leave any personal items that go on my body (any part) on bare surfaces (even mine).i let my brushes hang off the ledge or put them back in brush container.if in public surfaces,i layer w/ clean tissue: freshly packed,not yet exposed).every few weeks,i clean my brushes and container w/ baby shampoo.you can also actually get away w/ sponges if you wash them.baby shampoo contains no harmful chemicals so your essentials last longer and don't deteriorate.make sure hands are
ooooooooomg where was i when u mad this video... thank u so much for making this.i am very anal about my brushes and letting people know how to refrain from bacteria is important. may i please put this video on my blog for other people to see?
What would you suggest for applying *liquid* foundation? After watching this particular video I've realized that using the same foam pad a lot is probably the reason why I break out so much (have only had 1 day of clear skin in 10 yrs)... using a new one each time seems so wasteful, though. :\
OMG i love this video! i usually think about minor details && idk how that flew past me. i guess it`s the whole not knowing better, like when i was growing up i saw people using brushes && thought it was weird now i see the sponges && i`m like omg how did i EVER do that! veryyyy good idea for this video!
i think putting the brush in a ziplock bag and putting in the make up bag work too and of course replace the ziplock bag b/c you don't want all the germs to grow in it lol.
@bububutterly: soap & water should be just fine - I'm an artist who paints in oil and that is what I use to clean my brushes... I don't think makeup would be any different to clean out of the brushes and it won't damage the bristles as long as the brush isn't smashed out of shape. Just load the brush up with water, rub in liquid soap (dish detergent works good too) and gently work it up into a lather, rinsing often.
thanks so much for this could you do a video on what you have in your purse please because i dont no what i need in my purse because i carry around everything and dont end up needing it all
wow does the sponge applicator also apply to the eyeshadow sponge applicator as well why is it that ppl prefer a brush rather than a sponge applicator??
A brush sometimes is softer than the sponge-tip applicator (therefore it's more gentle on your eye) and may be able to pick up more product. Product might be able to distribute better & more smoothly without fallouts if the brush is good.
the brush is still going to carry bacteria!! unless you wash them constantly...seriously i wash them after every use. and but i use cosmetic wedges for concelar and my foundation. So yeah girls wash your brushes[if you haven't lol]
Well if the powder was already contaminated with bacteria it yeah. I use cosmetic wedges and then I buff and distribute the foundation evenly with a brush. After that I wash the brush so it is ready for when I need it again.
that stuff is oil in my compact?! i just cringed......that's my whole comment because now i have to tell my mom. : ) i'm serious though......thanks pursebuzz!!
thanks for the tip. i never really knew that before and my cheeks were always breaking out. so i tossed my old blush brush and have gotten a new one, and i can already see a difference in my skin. it's definitely clearing up which i'm super excited about because i've been struggling with acne for so long :)
actually... there's cheap retractable brushes from ulta.. some of them cost like 3-5 bucks.. kabuki ones cost like 10 bucks somewhere.. u guys might wanna check that out~
I totally get what you mean. Right when you first mentioned putting the brushes in the same bag, I knew what you were gonna talk about. My favorite was at the end when you said "please please please take care of your face shpeel". But I must say, I totally agree.
TIP FOR THOSE OF US THAT CAN'T BUY A NEW RETRACTABLE BRUSH! : Stick your fav brush in a plastic zip bag! I know it's kinda "ghetto" but it works! I'd rather have people lookin at me for pulling a ziplock bag out of my purse than have zits all over my face! yuck!
because the brush is a bristle brush that doesnt claud up..like the sponge it just keeps collecting and stacking up germs..like u know ur skin is oily the spong sucks up ur oil and than u dabb it in the powder and it creates the chunks on it..think like as when u mix water with flour..u get those chunks and it hardens after a while..dats y a brush is better and cleaner..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is just my apinion, not being rude, love your tuts. But i mean its not the end of the world if you but your brush in the same bag. Theres bigger problems in the world then breaking out. What about starving chiildren in Africa? Just my apinion. Besides that Your videos are great :)
yeah i know :S its gross (i think so) and see people like drop their eyeshadow on the floor and then pick it up and put it in their bag.. that.. yucky xDD
OMG eee. I have been using the same make-up brush for about 5 years and i've never washed it. How vile. However, i've never ever had a break out, ever. I've never even had a spot that i could pop.
I did have a retractable brush but got a bit drunk and lost the lid.
haha no but seriously your tips are great! Things that I've never thought of & at the same time, you're sharing all of these thoughts most people dont care to tell others. Thanks :)
good tip! i keep the brush in the same box, but since i have a professional makeup box/carrier, i have a special section just for brushes where they dont touch the other cosmetics :D
if anyone lives in the uk, body care has the same retractable brush for something like £1.99 i have it :)
i hate it when people put their brushes in there makeup bags too, i sometimes use a different smaller bag to put my brushes in then shove that in my handbag too! :)
I'm like that too, it's the same with other things such as bars of soap especially in public places, I see people wipe the soap on there hands, put it on the side then rinse there hands. All the bacteria is on the soap and not being washed off. But anyway, a bit ocd of me but I see where you're coming from that's my point. :) Keep up the great vids!
What about the retractable brush...if your face is oily wouldn't it be the same as using the sponge in the compact. Couldn't bacteria grow on the brush itself inside the container itself. How would u go about cleaning a retractable brush plus the inside of the container as well when the brush is closed???
true however...how often do you have a travel size brush cleaner with you? And on top of that how often do you clean your retractable brushes...honestly retractable brushes would allow me to forget to clean them especially since they are for travel purposes.
@pinkmacprincess Well.. I hope you clean your brushes O.o... Any face brush that I use on my face ONCE, I wash it right after, rarely would I with the same face brush twice.
I found a retractible brush at shoppers for a very nice price and it looks like stila's but you have to pull it out, FYI shoppers only in Canada if any Canadians are watching hint hint ^^
I guess they don't as much...I use the sponge all the time...bit I have pretty durable skin (I hardly hever take my makeup off besides if I have eyeshadow on and I still don't break out)
But the brush dosn't get it on that well...so it's not much covereage...the only time I use concealer with a brush is I have a compact I use with podwer and I dip my blush brush in to maybe tone my blush down a little, but otherwise I use the sponge
In high school I always thought you were supposed to use the sponge in the compact, but then I started breaking out and I had to stop using the powder. (greasy looking face ICK)
Thank you again for the tip! I can't wait to tell my friends!
haha i totally know how you feel i know girls who do the same and when i tell them they still complain about their pimples its like they never heard me in the first place, but yeah i usually just wipe the powder with tissue and i always wash my brushes :)
oh god you're SO right! i started wearing make up 2 years ago and i just didnt think about cleaning my brush or anything (i used the same brush over and over for one year without even cleaning it!). i ALWAYS broke out so i used even more product.
i used some H&M powder, uh i know right, and it got soo dirty, there were little brown thingy on it eww. i think i still have it, ha...
Also sometimes I've seen girls using those lip balm where you have to use your finger. Well I've seen girls in class picking up their binders/pencil/books from the floor and then they took their lip balm and used their finger and dab it on their lips...it's like they wipe the floor with their finger, mix it with the lip balm, and dab it on their lips. gross!
i have the same germophobe thoughts as your. i create these ideas in my head that my brushes are getting infested with bacteria from being in my bag. so i actually wrap my brushes up with tissue paper before putting in my bag lol! sometimes they fall off so i think im going to try the retractable brush idea! thanks!
germaphobe perhaps? ;P I agree with the sponge part.. but if your dropping your brushes on the ground in public bathrooms etc in the first place then I think that should be your first concern lol
omg i have the same pet peeve as u lol. I hate the idea of putting my brushes into my bag. What I do is I end up wrapping my brushes with tissues and then I put it into my bag. Lol..
Another solution is to put your brushes into a ziplock bag first and then put them into your makeup bag. The "powder puff" thing has long been a source of frustration for me. Another idea, recently I purchased a traveling brush set. It's in a small zipup case and comes with 5 brushes so there's more selection available. Thanks for getting this off my chest by doing this video. I could tell at the end you were relieved. Me too.
hi there, i just luv ur videos, they are so imformative especially for a makeup junkie like me..lol.. I was just wondering what glasses u r wearing here, they are gorgeous..xx
I love your video. This is so weird you know. I was gonna run out to buy a retractable brush after watching this video(even though I barely wear powder). Then when I went to YSL to get the latest collection I got a free retractable powder brush. How freaky is that?
EEWW! I never thought about the brushes! I never take makeup anywhere with me so im glad I dont do it! hehe. As far as the sponge, I dont like using brushes to put my founation on, so I just buy a big bag of the spongies and throw them away after every use. The baggies are like a $1 for like what...a 100:) hehe.
I used to do this too but then I saw how much foundation I was wasting by using sponges. When you put the make up on the sponge it absorbs a lot of it. Now I put the foundation on the back of my hand and use a brush and it takes twice as long for the bottle to run out. It may take longer in the morning and some getting used to but it's worth it because you save a lot of money in the long run!
while hormones play a huge part they are not the only factor in breakouts. My acne was so much worse when i was a teen because i was not responsible with my makeup habits.
Thank you so much! Cause I always put my brush in the my purse along with everything else. Now i'ma get the retractable brush or put my brush in another bagg! I was wondering why i was breaking out so much.
thanks for scaring us pursebuzz. haha jk. I carry a mini travel brush kit with me that comes in its own travel case. and then i put that in my bag. thanks for the vids!
OMG thank you soo much i used to use alot of powder and never new what that stuff on top was, thank you im going to sort through my make up now n throw old stuff away, and get new make up bags!!!
I highly recommend the Too Face retractable Teddy Bear Kabuki brush! It's 28 dollars, it's expensive, but let me tell you, it's worth EVERY penny! It's really soft and applies my powder when I need a retouch evenly and smooth. (:
GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE, TOTALLY! I feel the same about contamination. Coincidentally, I just received my Stila brush 31 yesterday in the mail! However, mine has a pointy tip for under eye area.
you're so cute!! i need to get one of those retractable brushes. do they have retractable brushes for eyeshadow brushes? i need one of those instead of the powder ones.

Well I've seen girls in class picking up their binders/pencil/books from the floor and then they took their lip balm and used their finger and dab it on their lips...it's like they wipe the floor with their finger, mix it with the lip balm, and dab it on their lips. gross!

i have the same germophobe thoughts as your. i create these ideas in my head that my brushes are getting infested with bacteria from being in my bag. so i actually wrap my brushes up with tissue paper before putting in my bag lol! sometimes they fall off so i think im going to try the retractable brush idea! thanks!

germaphobe perhaps? ;P I agree with the sponge part.. but if your dropping your brushes on the ground in public bathrooms etc in the first place then I think that should be your first concern lol

omg i have the same pet peeve as u lol. I hate the idea of putting my brushes into my bag. What I do is I end up wrapping my brushes with tissues and then I put it into my bag. Lol..

how much does the retractable brush cost?
bamapdub 3 years ago
Another solution is to put your brushes into a ziplock bag first and then put them into your makeup bag. The "powder puff" thing has long been a source of frustration for me. Another idea, recently I purchased a traveling brush set. It's in a small zipup case and comes with 5 brushes so there's more selection available. Thanks for getting this off my chest by doing this video. I could tell at the end you were relieved. Me too.

I love your video. This is so weird you know. I was gonna run out to buy a retractable brush after watching this video(even though I barely wear powder). Then when I went to YSL to get the latest collection I got a free retractable powder brush. How freaky is that?

EEWW! I never thought about the brushes! I never take makeup anywhere with me so im glad I dont do it! hehe. As far as the sponge, I dont like using brushes to put my founation on, so I just buy a big bag of the spongies and throw them away after every use. The baggies are like a $1 for like what...a 100:) hehe.
jdepp1984 3 years ago
I used to do this too but then I saw how much foundation I was wasting by using sponges. When you put the make up on the sponge it absorbs a lot of it. Now I put the foundation on the back of my hand and use a brush and it takes twice as long for the bottle to run out. It may take longer in the morning and some getting used to but it's worth it because you save a lot of money in the long run!

I think you broke out as a teenager because of the pubescent hormones, and not because of the brush/make-up.
janwa09 3 years ago
while hormones play a huge part they are not the only factor in breakouts. My acne was so much worse when i was a teen because i was not responsible with my makeup habits.

I highly recommend the Too Face retractable Teddy Bear Kabuki brush! It's 28 dollars, it's expensive, but let me tell you, it's worth EVERY penny! It's really soft and applies my powder when I need a retouch evenly and smooth. (:
