Using this makeup brushes set is a breeze. First, dip the brush into your powder, blush, or eyeshadow. Gently tap off any excess product, then apply it to your skin in smooth, even strokes. The makeup sponges can be dampened for a more dewy finish when applying foundation or concealer. For the rotating brush holder, simply place your brushes in the slots for easy organization. When it comes to maintenance, clean your brushes regularly with a mild brush cleaner. Rinse them thoroughly and reshape the bristles while they're wet. Let them dry flat or hanging with the bristles down to prevent water from seeping into the handle. The makeup sponges should be washed after each use with a gentle soap and air - dried. Store the sponges in the sponge holder, especially when traveling, to keep them clean and protected. Avoid using the brushes and sponges on broken or irritated skin, and always keep them away from extreme heat or cold to maintain their quality.
