Hi Yolanda!!!

Thank you. How do you store your brushes? I've been storing them upright in a glass container...is this not the correct way? Thank you for responding so quickly.

how fabulous! welcome yolanda!

Mae, I know if you take care of your brushes they can last years. I have some really top quality brushes, i.e., Bobbi, Shu Uemura, Hakuhodo and many more. The key is to wash them and lay them flat to dry. Never put them back up right. The water will go down and destroy the coils which hold the bristles. Of course, you will lose some, but if you do this, the brushes can last. I have a 10 year old Shu brush that I absolutely love. I use baby shampoo for mine. I hope this helps.

Julia, how often should one change/buy make-up brushes?
