The difference between lip brush and direct application. Should the lip brush be washed after use?

Lip brush is a kind of makeup tool that we are all familiar with. At the same time, we all know that lip brush is used to apply lipstick, and lipstick can also be applied directly. So let's understand the difference between using lip brush and applying lipstick directly? Should lip brush be washed after use?

Many professional makeup artists use a "lip brush" when applying lipstick, but many girls think it is too troublesome to apply lipstick with a lip brush, so most of them choose to apply it directly. In fact, lipstick applied with a lip brush not only has a high degree of color, but also makes our lips fuller. When we apply lipstick, we usually choose to apply it horizontally, because it is inconvenient to apply it vertically, which will make our lines not covered with lipstick, and our lips will be prone to dehydration, peeling and drying. The lipstick will appear uneven, and it will also increase friction, making our lip lines deeper and our lips more prone to dryness and peeling, which will also make our applied lipstick not very beautiful.

It is better to clean the lip brush after each use, otherwise it will easily cause bacteria to grow, and more bacteria will adhere to the lips when applying it again. It is best to clean all makeup tools every once in a while, but the cleaning time depends on the frequency of makeup. If you apply makeup every day, you should clean it once a week or so, and use some mild shower gel to clean it. It is also best to wipe it clean with a paper towel after use, and let it air dry. It is best not to use a hair dryer to blow it, which will make the hair inside the makeup tool not so natural. When applying lipstick, just brush the lip brush on the surface of the lipstick a few times. When using the lip brush, start applying from the lower lip, and apply it evenly from the inside to the outside when drawing the lip line. Of course, after applying the lower lip, apply the upper lip in the same way. There are different types of lip brushes, including beveled lip brushes, thin round ones, and even nylon lip brushes. The beveled lip brushes are more suitable for outlining the lines of the lip peaks, while the round lip brushes are more suitable for outlining the lines of the inner lips. Nylon lip brushes are high-grade synthetic fibers with smaller gaps, higher cohesion, and easier to control the strength. After long-term use, these hairs are easier to curl, and can delicately depict the lip shape.

The first time you use a lip brush, you need to clean it first. First, you are worried about whether the lip brush is contaminated with bacteria before it is sealed. Secondly, because the texture of the newly opened lip brush is relatively hard, if you use it directly without washing it, its use effect will naturally not be excellent. In addition, some lip brushes have a plastic smell, so it is definitely better to wash them than not to wash them. When cleaning the lip brush, simply rinse it with warm water a few times, and then press down along the lip brush with your fingertips. Of course, you can also buy a professional lip brush cleaner to clean it. The lip brush should not be cleaned every time it is used, otherwise the lip brush hair will fall off. Choose soft fiber hair for the lip brush, because the cap of this texture is delicate and soft, elastic and moist, and the makeup is also fuller. When buying a lip brush, we try to use a double-head design. One pointed head can outline the lip line, and the other round head can plump the lip shape, quickly apply makeup, and novices can also draw exquisite lip makeup. The lip brush is very suitable for girls with unclear lip shape and no three-dimensional lips. The lip brush can easily save the hand-clumsy party and create a natural lip makeup.

You can use makeup brush cleaner, makeup remover, or facial cleanser directly to clean it, but in the end, you need to use a paper towel to absorb the excess water and then dry it. Lip brushes need to be cleaned every time after use to avoid causing damage to the lips and body. You can use makeup brush cleaner to clean the lip brush. If conditions are limited, you can also use makeup remover to remove impurities in the lip brush, or use facial cleanser directly. However, it is not recommended for girls to use the latter two methods, because after all, the cleaning ability is limited and it is not as clean as a detergent.
