Personal Touch on Makeup Brushes

If your a makeup artist, student, or just makeup lover and constantly working around people, whether clients, family, friends,students or other artists you want to be able to differentiate your kit and supplies from the other people working around you.

Many artists have different techniques in which they label their supplies. If you work for mac or a makeup company as large and popular as mac you know they are constantly busy and you have to work fast, consistent and be able to know your brushes from the person next to you.

A popular way to label your brushes without going to drastic measures is color coding. What I mean by this is you basically color the bottoms of your eye;face;lip makeup brushes with nail polish. The easiest way to do this is by using a nail polish, preferably a unique color in which you favor. I chose jade green, a OPI nail lacquer.

To color code your brushes, what you'll need:


Supplies:

1. Tape( Any tape will do, even painters tape)
2. Nail Polish(color you prefer)
3. Towel
4. Clean flat surface to lay towel and brushes during drying process

First, take any makeup brush or brush you are color coding. Tape about half an ench away from the end of the brush to create an empty space to apply the nail polish to. 

Second, Paint the end of your brush. Preferable two coats. To ensure maximum color pay off. If you are using a pricey polish brand like OPI you may only need one coat.

Third, lie the brush on a rolled towel on a flat surface so that the brush has space to breathe and dry.

Once dry just remove the tape and you have yourself a labeled brush that way no one can claim your little investment(brush) as theirs.

P.s I would let the brush dry for about an hour, if you've applied more than one coat maybe two hours.
