The UltraPlush synthetic bristles are incredibly soft, ensuring a gentle application on the skin. They are also non-porous, meaning they absorb less product, leading to better pigment payoff and easier cleaning compared to natural bristles.

Ensure your brushes are clean, as product buildup can cause streaking. For liquid and cream products, use a dabbing and buffing motion rather than dragging. For powders, use a light dusting or pressing motion. If issue persists, try a different application technique or check the consistency of your makeup product.

A few loose bristles initially are normal. If shedding is continuous and excessive, ensure you are cleaning the brushes gently and allowing them to air dry completely without excessive heat. Avoid submerging the ferrule in water during cleaning. If shedding continues, contact customer support.

This often occurs if not all product or cleanser is rinsed out, or if they dry improperly. Ensure thorough rinsing with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. After rinsing, gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles before laying them flat to dry. You can also use a brush conditioner after cleaning, similar to hair conditioner, to maintain softness.

The key to seamless blending is often in the amount of product and the technique. Start with less product and build up. Use light, circular motions with the 258 Flat Contour Brush for blending. For setting powder, ensure you're not using too much with the 402 Setting Brush, as this can create a cakey look rather than a smooth set.
