If you’re finding that your face keeps coming up in blemishes, especially in areas where you brush on makeup, such as on the cheek bones, it could be sign that your makeup brushes aren’t hygienic. Keeping them in your makeup bag among all the leaking foundations, concealers, mascaras and anything else you have in your collection means they’re in among the germs, and won’t be clean when you apply your makeup - dirty makeup brushes are a sure sign that you need a makeup brush holder.
Makeup brush holders are also a handy place to store makeup brushes so you don’t lose them. Knowing where they are all the time means you can be certain that you’re sibling must have ‘borrowed’ one if it suddenly decides to go walkabout. You may also find that your makeup brushes go flat after a while, so keeping them in a holder will make them last for longer.
When looking for the best makeup brush holders consider what you need - do you want a holder that focuses more on delivering insta-worthy style than it does the amount of storage space that it offers you? Have you got a collection of 20 different brushes that need a home, or do you want an enclosed pot that stores just a few? We’re pretty sure you’ll find the perfect makeup brush holder for your requirements in our selection below.
