Comb Through Your Eyelashes If you wear mascara, simply comb through your lashes with a spoolie after you apply one to two coats to help elongate and clean up your look. If you have lash extensions, use a clean spoolie daily to separate each lash for a more fluttery look.
They can be used multiple times for months and reusing them keeps waste out of the landfills and environment. Like with your regular brushes though, you'll want to wash and disinfect that spoolie regularly and frequently.
You can buy spoolie brushes individually and use them to comb your brows, separate your lashes and exfoliate your lips. And yes, you should clean them! Every two weeks is ideal. Replace once a month.
If you clean your spoolies every one to two weeks, they can last for years, so consider it an investment into your makeup-loving future. Over time they may lose a few bristles, says Temple, which is a sign you should throw them out.
A: You use the spoolie just for brushing your eyebrows, not for applying make up so yes it's reusable. I've had mine for several months now and it has never needed cleaning.
For a full head of curls: apply flat end of curlers close to scalp and leave curlers in from 10 minutes to several hours depending on how tight you want the curls. For soft waves or loose curls with a smooth crown: Use Spoolies on clean, dry hair and wind spools starting mid-strand (for long hair).
As a spoolie: You can use a toothbrush to tame your brows by using its bristles to brush away any stray hairs. Another neat trick to give those brows staying power? Spray some hairspray on an old toothbrush and brush down your brow—it'll keep all those pesky hairs in place!
What is a spoolie? For those unacquainted, a spoolie is the little mascara wand-style brush that can be found on the end of many eyebrow products.
Don't Forget to Clean Your Lashes
You can use a safe lash extension cleaner and use your spoolie or lash wand to brush through your lashes. Alternatively, you can rinse your lashes gently with very diluted baby shampoo. Use 1 tablespoon of baby shampoo mixed in one cup of distilled water, once a day.
No need to worry, that's where a spoolie brush can come in handy! Use a clean spoolie to gently comb through your lashes and remove excess mascara in the process. The result? Perfectly coated, separated lashes that are worthy of any eye makeup look.
Use Old Mascara As A Spoolie
On days you want to keep your eyebrows all-natural and thick, this old mascara wand will come to use. Use it instead of a spoolie. You can use it as is or use it with an eyebrow gel or petroleum jelly. Brush back your eyebrows with this wand and get those natural and fuller eyebrows.
Use a small brush.
You can use a small brush—like a clean mascara spoolie (also called a mascara wand) or an unused toothbrush—for a gentle DIY lash curl.
The spoolie is a small, plastic brush that is used to shape eyebrows.
2. Apply Brush Shampoo. Take a bit of brush shampoo and drop it onto the spoolie brush. Rub your fingers carefully over the brush in small circles until sudsy and old makeup has started to lift.
If you accidentally exposed the lashes to water before you were supposed to – the glue is overloaded with moisture and dries immediately. This means that the lash extension hasn't properly formed a bond with your natural lash and causes it to fall off.
Clean your eyelashes gently.
Use a gentle eye makeup remover, cotton swab, or pad to remove the product from your lashes. Avoid rubbing them too hard and applying pressure; this can break the lash hairs and cause damage. Use a gentle soap or baby shampoo to remove dirt and oil.
If you wanted to know what dirty eyelash extensions look like, you're in for a treat. Dirty lashes are often caked with makeup, oil, and other impurities. This can make them appear yellow, brown, or even black. In addition, they may be matted and tangled.
Why this matters? It opens up your eyes a tad bigger and makes your face look a little more "finished." You just need an eyebrow brush and perhaps a personal trimmer to trim the ends of your brows if they happen to be long (like mine). It's a simple move, but one that can make a big difference.
Curved (curl)
The brush should be curved as well, which helps provide lift to the base and evenly coats your newly curled strands. Not only this, but the bend of the brush means that the bristles are fairly dense on the inner end.
When you use someone else's toothbrush, you expose your teeth and gums to new bacteria which may not react well with your existing bacteria. This foreign bacteria can increase your risk of catching a cold, the flu, or other germs lurking on your partner's toothbrush, even if they practice good hygiene.
Toothbrushes: You don't require a fancy tool for cleaning your tongue. You can just brush your tongue by using a standard toothbrush, and by following short side-to-side and back-and-forth strokes. You can also do this while brushing your teeth, or after brushing your teeth.
