Jane Iredale Dome Brush is a true multi-purpose brush, ideal for highlighting with blushers, bronzers or gold shimmer powders. It is made from hand tied Goat Hair. Please note: the natural hair used in Jane Iredale’s brushes is obtained from living animals & no animals are killed to make these brushes. The hair is a secondary item generally obtained from combing or brushing. The hair then undergoes several chemical-cleansing processes so that it is sterile enough to be used on the skin. Good quality brushes are referred to as h&-tied. This means that hair is h&-moulded to the desired shape & cut at the ferrule end (the metal collar between the hair & handle.) This maintains the integrity of the natural hair with its fine tapered end. All hair naturally tapers off to a fine point as it looses its keratin layers. This tapered effect makes the hair feel soft, picks up the mineral powders more efficiently, & disburses & distributes them more evenly on the skin. The tapered ends also impart a soft, soothing effect on the skin, which only enhances the experience of having mineral makeup applied. What are the benefits? Ideal for highlighting with blushers, bronzers or gold shimmer powders Designed to be as effective & as gentle on the skin as possible They are h&-tied, using the best materials available No animals are killed to make these brushes. When should I use it? To apply blushers, bronzers & body shimmers. How do I get the best results? New brushes should always be cleaned prior to use. This will remove any chemical residue left behind from the sanitising process, & prevent any possible sensitivity. New brushes often shed. Do not be alarmed this is normal & will reduce after a few cleaning processes. Clean brushes regularly with a mild shampoo or liquid soap, do not leave to soak as this will affect the ferrule & wooden handle. Rinse thoroughly & squeeze excess water out of the brush in the direction of the tip. Do not leave to dry in an upright position as water will run down into the ferrule causing damage & the brush will lose it original shape. Dry flat on a towel, if possible leave the head of the brush over the edge of a counter so that air can circulate evenly during drying.A true multi-purpose brush made from goat hair, ideal for highlighting with Jane Iredale bronzers or gold shimmer powders.- The Jane Iredale Dome Brush has been designed to be as effective & as gentle on the skin as possible.- H&-tied using the best materials available.
