We close our compacts and screw on moisturizer tops, all to keep dirt and dust away from the products that touch our faces. But somehow makeup brushes get tossed around in cosmetic bags and left on vanity shelves. That’s why these brush guards are perfect—they keep our tools clean and protected against all the yuckiness that builds up.
These are handy to have around, and I'm sure very nice for traveling, but I found that they stretch out easily and lose their tightness and thus effectiveness pretty quick. I also don't like that the top is just open; it seems like it would still let a lot of dirt and dust onto the brushes.
3These brush guards are a great thing to have on hand, especially if you do a lot of traveling. They fit, literally, every brush and are very easy to use.
I didn't buy any more, because I simply don't have a need for more. But I think anyone who does extensive traveling should invest in these. They keep your brushes safe so you can leave the bulky storage containers at home.
The brush guards work the way the are supposed to for the most part. My favorite eyeshadow brush got a little frayed after using a guard because it didn't stay over the bristles while in my makeup bag, but the other brushes were fine. I would never pay for them but they were a nice freebie.
