This is a part of my Baguio 2025 Series.
One of the things that make my beauty kit bulk up when I travel are makeup brushes. I'm sorry but I just can't use small travel brushes. I want my brushes full-size whether I'm at home or in a hotel.
The problem with that, aside from the bulk, is the quantity of brushes that I need to bring. Let's count them:
- Foundation brush
- Eyeshadow brushes
- Eyebrow brush
- Blush brush
- Bronzer brush/contour brush
- Lip brush
- Optional blending brush and fan brush
Then multiply that to the number of days I'm away. I can get away with just one lip, eyebrow, and blush brush each. But for the rest, I need multiples.
On our last trip, I was running out of foundation brushes and so I thought I'd try to use my Herb Day Cleaning Tissues from The Face Shop. It actually worked quite nicely! However, there were still some deep-seated foundation and dirt. I remembered that at home, I use a combination of olive oil and dish soap to clean my brushes. I always bring dish soap when we travel so I tried that. It worked beautifully! The oil in the wipes plus the dish soap cleaned my brushes very well!
You can use any dish soap but this is what I recommend: Meadows Dishwashing Soap with Nano Technology.
It's very concentrated, so I don't need a lot to clean my brushes.
I also discovered this brush cleaning mat from Miniso Baguio:
And I'd have to say that this is a total game changer! I will post a review about this soon, so stay tuned! From now on, this will be a staple in my travel beauty kit.
