Troubleshooting
Brush is shedding bristles
Ensure you are cleaning the brush gently and avoiding excessive pulling or tugging. Check that the ferrule is secure; if loose, allow it to dry completely and then try tightening gently.
Makeup is not applying evenly
Ensure the brush is clean and free of old product residue. For cream products, ensure they are not dried out. For powder products, try tapping off excess before application.
Bristles feel too stiff
If the bristles feel stiff due to dried product, a thorough cleaning should restore their flexibility. For continued softness, ensure proper cleaning and conditioning after washing.
