The tools we trust

Q: 1. How often should I clean my makeup brushes and beauty tools?

For brushes and sponges used with liquid products, clean them once a week with a gentle cleanser or brush soap. Tools like rollers and tweezers can be wiped down after every use with alcohol or micellar water. Clean tools don’t just perform better — they protect your skin from breakouts and buildup.

Q: 3. Are expensive beauty tools really worth it?

Not always. What matters most is quality over price — dense, soft bristles that don’t shed, rollers made from durable materials like stainless steel or genuine stone, and tweezers with precise grip. A well-made tool lasts for years when cared for properly, no matter the brand name.

The right tool turns routine into ritual. In the Glam Beauty Guide studio, these are the quiet staples we reach for daily—pieces that make the process feel precise, but still soft.

The Foundation Brush

Soft enough to blur, structured enough to sculpt. Swirl in small circles for an undetectable finish.

The Cooling Roller

Keep it chilled. Morning puffiness eases, tone looks lifted, mood resets. Glide upward with light pressure.

Detail Tweezers

Control in the smallest movements. A tidy brow changes everything—eyes open, balance returns.

Tools don’t need to be new to feel special. As we often note on Glam Beauty Guide, care lives in the details.

2. What’s the best way to store beauty tools to keep them in good condition?

Keep brushes upright in a ventilated holder so they dry completely after washing. Rollers should stay in a cool, dry space (or the fridge for extra de-puffing power), and tweezers should be stored in a protective sleeve to maintain alignment. Treat your tools like part of your skincare — clean, organized, and cherished.
