Cosmetics: common questions
How do I clean makeup brushes?
Lukewarm water and a drop of gentle shampoo, worked through the bristles with the brush pointing down so water does not sit in the ferrule. Reshape the head and dry it flat over the edge of a bench.
How often should brushes be washed?
Anything that touches foundation or concealer is worth washing weekly. Powder and eye brushes can go a fortnight.
Do I need a full brush set or a few good ones?
A few you actually reach for beats a roll of twelve. A foundation brush, a blending brush and a small angled brush cover most days.
Will a lit mirror show my makeup as other people see it?
Closer than a bathroom mirror will. Even, front-on light stops you compensating for a shadow that only exists in your own bathroom.
What is the point of a rotating organiser?
It puts everything at the same distance from your hand. The things at the back of a drawer are the things you stop using.
Is a rolling case worth it over a soft bag?
If you carry kit to other people, yes. Hard sides stop pressed powder shattering, and wheels matter more than you expect by the third trip.
Can I take makeup in hand luggage?
Liquids follow the usual 100ml rule, and pressed powders are fine. Pack anything pressed in the middle where it is cushioned.
How much is delivery?
Free on orders over $100. Under that it is a flat $27.50 across Australia, and that figure includes GST on the carriage.
How long will my order take to arrive?
5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling time. A tracking number is emailed the moment it leaves us.
Can I pay extra to get it faster?
Yes. Express is a paid upgrade offered at the checkout for $27.50. If your order is already over $100 you can either take the free standard service or pay for express.
