How I Store My Makeup Brushes!

How I store my makeup brushes…

So now you have all these make up brushes, how do you store them?  This is how I store mine.  (I did NOT come up with the idea; I simply use it and am sharing with you)  

*Everything came from Michael’s

*Vase (they have all different styles and sizes so you can choose accordingly to what fits your brush collection size)

*Vase Filler (2 bags) plus 1 bag of the decorative vase filler beads

=> Under $20! 

*Other stores like TJ Max, Marshalls, Wal-Mart, Target, etc. have different vases/jars that would work too.  You can also decorate them with pretty ribbon, bows, or whatever your creative mind can come up with! 

I put my dirty brushes in a pencil holder found in the office supplies section at K-Mart (or wherever you shop). 

Other Ideas:

~Makeup bag

            *But don’t store your brushes with your makeup!  Have a separate bag for your brushes. 

~Brush roll-folding bag with slots for each brush

~Brush Cup Holder from sigmabeauty.com

            *These are pricey as you get two cups (no brushes) for $20.  When unsnapped, there are two cups for your brushes and when they are snapped together like this, they are perfect for traveling!

~3 drawer storage-Face Drawer, Eyes Drawer, Random Drawer

~Any sort of office/desk organizer

~Be creative!  Think dividers/separators/organizers/slots

TIPS:

Keep makeup brushes separate to avoid germs and bacteria getting in the bristles (ew)

Keep them in a room temperature environment

Don’t store them in your bathroom.  The heat and moisture from your showers can cause rusting on the brush handles over time if moisture gets in it.
