Pink Heart Makeup Brush Set | Soft Professional Kit

Wet the bristles with lukewarm water, avoiding the ferrule (the metal band). Work a small amount of gentle shampoo or brush cleanser into the fibres, rinse until the water runs completely clear, reshape the bristles and lay flat on a towel to dry. Never stand wet brushes upright — water runs into the ferrule and loosens the glue that holds the bristles in place. For in-between cleans, a dry brush cleaner spray removes pigment quickly without needing to wet the brush.

Yes — synthetic fibres work well with both powder and liquid or cream formulas. The flat foundation brush and concealer brush are particularly suited to liquid and cream products. The fluffier brushes (blush, powder, highlight) are designed for powder but can be used with cream products for a sheerer, blended finish. Wash more frequently when using with liquid products as pigment builds up faster in synthetic fibres.

Yes — this set is a strong choice for beginners because every brush is labelled by use and the set is complete from day one. You do not need to figure out what to buy separately. Start with the foundation brush, powder brush and one eyeshadow brush to keep things simple, then gradually incorporate the rest of the set as your routine develops. The ultra-soft fibres are also more forgiving with technique than stiffer professional brushes.

With regular cleaning and proper drying (flat, not upright), quality synthetic brushes last several years. The most common causes of early deterioration are leaving brushes standing wet, using hot water which degrades the fibres, and using harsh dish soap rather than a gentle cleanser. A small amount of shedding in the first few uses is normal; significant shedding or bristle splaying after washing usually indicates water has entered the ferrule.
