Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Makeup Brushes

Even the best makeup brushes don’t last forever. With regular use and proper cleaning, they can serve you well for years, but there are clear signs it might be time to replace them.

Watch Out for These Red Flags:

• Shedding Bristles: If your brush is losing more bristles than it keeps, it's time for a replacement.
• Frayed or Misshapen Heads: Over time, bristles lose their shape, making precise application difficult.
• Persistent Stains: Staining isn’t always bad, but if colour or residue won’t wash out, your brush may not be working at full capacity.
• Weird Smell or Texture: A funky smell or sticky feel, even after cleaning, indicates bacteria buildup or product breakdown.

If you're noticing any of these signs, it might be time to treat yourself to a fresh set. Explore our brush sets for vegan, eco-conscious options that come with our signature Pureform™ cleaning tool.
