Tips and Tricks, How To Save Your Makeup Brush Labels

Now I know I hate it when I adore a makeup brush so much that I need to buy another one or need to replace one and when I look at the label it has rubbed off. This is a pain in the ass, honestly. Today I want to share with you my trick of how to save your makeup brush labels. I hope some of you know this pain too so I don't feel like the weirdo who holds her brushes the wrong way. (Not really but maybe.) Let's get to it.

I picked up this trick ages ago and now when I wash my brushes I do this trick to any new additions. Your makeup brushes new best friend is nail polish! Believe it or not (and I know how weird that sounds but bare with me). Feel free to use any top coat it really doesn't matter what brand it is as long as you trust it to last.

Clear nail polish or more specifically top coat is the perfect thing to lock in those easily faded labels. I simply dab the polish onto the label, slowly working my way across the name and number, do not swipe down the label as you would a nail as this can smear your letters together! (learnt that one the hard way, why!?) and allow to dry overnight. From now on you will have preserved, shiny labels on your brushes that won't smear or wash off easily. Of course there is the possibility that constant use may wear down the polish and you may need to reapply. Keep an eye on them!

This shiny layer is the only sign that polish is on your brush. The label is protected.

So there you have it, so incredibly simple yet so effective. I hope you can use this trick to save your makeup brush labels from wearing off.

Let me know if you use this trick or something similar to save your makeup brush labels, I would love to try other ways. Tell me in the comments below.

Until next time beauties,
