And then it is very difficult to count on clean shades of shadows and cool meykap.

The pro have, as a rule, much more brushes, than at us. But even they often have one-two favourite brushes which are soiled in the course of a make-up.

To avoid undesirable color mixture, the brush always has to remain clean. You will be helped by liquid for washing of brushes and a usual paper towel:


1) Sprinkle liquid for washing of brushes a napkin (1-2 times). If you have no such liquid – prepare the structure from children's liquid soap and water.
2) And when you need to remove a shade of shadows from a brush, wipe a brush bristle about a towel.
3) The following shade will require a new piece of a paper towel.
