I'm always looking for better ways to store my makeup & brushes, so when I stumbled across this Paintbrush Holder from Labour and Wait over the weekend, I thought it would be brilliant to use with my most used makeup brushes. I've seen these contraptions in various art stores over the years & I'm not sure why it took me so long to realize it would be great for my makeup storage.
It's not suitable for larger foundation/blush brushes, but I keep those in my empty Diptyque jars anyway. I think it adds a bit of interest to my makeup table as it's quite unique, but it's also extremely practical!
I just stick them in any which way and grab them as I need them!
It also has this sort of drip tray/water holder at the bottom which is something I won't use for its purpose, but it will be great for drying my brushes. I washed a few the other day and put them in the holder and they dried like a dream! Be sure to hang them upside-down so the water does't drip inside the brush and loosen the glue.
As I said, you can probably find these in most art stores or on eBay etc. for much cheaper than I paid, but I sort of fell in love with the whole idea and feel of this one before I could research cheaper options. I think it's excellent quality and if I ever take up real painting I'll be able to use this for its true purpose!
Do you think you'd ever store your brushes in one of these?
