Description
FIELD

The present application relates to cleaning makeup brushes, in particular with cleaning, protecting and storage.


BACKGROUND

Makeup brushes are products that sometimes are used and handled roughly and therefore are exposed to being distorted, brittle and un-sanitized which could result in skin irritations and blemishes. The materials used for the makeup brushes are typically made of polyester and nylon and do not have a high longevity life. The recent trends towards preserving makeup brushes causes the makeup brush bristles to become distorted, warped and broken. In particular, the makeup brushes become bent and crushed when the makeup brushes are stuffed in makeup cases, purses and/or suitcases. Makeup brushes that are warped, brittle and distorted will not allow the makeup application to be applied correctly. Makeup brushes left without any protective covering can become filled with airborne bacteria, dust and can lead to blemishes, skin irritations and rashes.


SUMMARY

By providing the Protective Makeup Brush Cleansing Kit makeup brushes will have a protective soft flexible silicone covering with cleaning bristles inside that will cleanse the brushes with the aid of the user.


In particular after the cleaning the Protective Makeup Brush Cleansing Kit will prevent the bristles from becoming distorted and brittle by having the protective covers remain on the makeup brushes and then stored on the storage base securely.


The Protective Makeup Brush Cleansing covers keep contaminants out and preserve the makeup brushes resulting in longevity and decreasing blemishes, skin irritations and rashes.
