answer 1

With an old toothbrush (clean). I only use the boar brush to comb my eyebrows after washing my face, so I never clean that part.

The tooth between comb can get sticky, messy from the mascara, so I just wait for mascara to dry, then deflake using a dry old toothbrush. Occasionally I run brush under water and a bit of soap then scrub the comb. I was afraid too much alcohol and soap/water can rust it, and metal don't hold bacteria as much as brushes...don't know if that's true...

I'm not sure what the "right" way to clean this is, but I use soap and water on the eyebrow brush and alcohol to wipe off the lash comb. It's helpful if you use kleenex or toilet paper to remove the still wet mascara every time you use the lash comb.

The comb cleans well with water and a tissue (and a drop of eye makeup remover if your mascara is stubborn). There are several brush cleaners for sale, but I've always used the baby shampoo trick: put a drop of baby shampoo in your palm, wet your brush, gently swirl it around in your palm, and rinse the brush well with cold water. The shampoo lasts forever and you don't have to worry about harsh chemicals stripping your brush.

To clean this brush and comb: Wet it with warm water and put a small drop of Bare Minerals cleaner on it. Gently lather and rinse. Place on top of a towel or place in a toothbrush holder/cup to dry.

I clean the metal teeth with a cotton ball and some eye makeup remover. I Can't say that I'm ever particularly concerned with cleaning the brush portion as I don't ever apply color to my own brows, but I would say that shampoo or a brush cleaner would work well. The bristles are very, very, stiff so you would need to use an actual fabric cloth to wipe/dry it with - paper towels would shred and leave bits behind.

I wipe the comb off right away after use before the mascara dries. Washing with a mild facial wash would work too. I also use eye makeup remover and a cotton makeup remover pad to clean off any build up.

Hi,

You could call Sephora to find out. However, it's really a good investment at $10 because your mascara will apply much better if you comb your lashes in advance.

Maybe the mascara is too dry on your lashes when you separate them. Try combing them sooner, or maybe it is just time for a fresh tube of mascara.

I haven't had this problem, but I do condition my lashes with vaseline or castor oil sometimes - you could try that to strengthen them, or try a lash strengthener/conditioner, or maybe lightly put a little of whatever lash conditioning product you use on the comb itself before you use it, to ease the comb through your lashes and help avoid breakage.

Maybe your mascara is on too thick, and the bristles can't pull through it without pulling the hairs out too?

answer 4

Be sure not to use it when your mascara has already dried. I've noticed it wants to pull too hard when that is the case and it takes lashed out. I've found that the best time to use it is right before product to bare lashes and as soon as you apply it .

This is MUCH better than a plastic tool, but you have to use it while your mascara is still wet, I would think thats your best bet for your problem. Otherwise, you either have very weak eyelashes or your mascara is just too thick..

Hello,

If you are using a different brand than Sephora, I would stop using them and try using a lash conditioner which will minimize the chance of your lashes breaking. These kinds of tools are not suppose to be pulling out your lashes or breaking them, so if it is, it may be your lashes are dry and fragile or the tool is too harsh on your lashes and you should stop using it.

Hope this helps!

p.s. I use Talika lipocils and I LOVE IT!

Try using the separator while your mascara is still wet. If you are using it when the mascara is already dry, it may pull your lashes and you may get breakage from this. Also, if you use a mascara that has a fiber in it to lengthen/thicken your lashes, maybe what you are seeing is actually the fiber rather than your lashes.

The comb part of the brush should be used when mascara is still slightly wet. Using it when mascara is completely dry will tug and pull at your lashes.

answer 9

Are you trying to use it after your lashes have already dried? Be really carefull to use the comb only when your lashes are still wet or there will be way too much pulling and will cause your lashes to break off. Also you might want to try a lash conditioner. I REALLY like Talika Lipocils. It helps stimulate growth and helps you keep the lashes you have strong. Hope this helped :)

I wonder if you're using the metal side when your mascara has already dried? When I use the metal side, I use it immediately after I have applied mascara, so it's not completely dry. Maybe that will help.

answer 11

Breakage would suggest to me that you might be using it after your mascara has dried...If this is the case, try using it immediately after applying your mascara while it is still wet so there is no tugging or pulling.
If this isn't the case, are you using a lash curler? It might be that you are crimping too tightly with your curler and actually breaking your lashes off. Then when you use the brush, you are just removing what you already broke off. In that case, be more gentle with less pressure when curling.
Lastly, if your lashes are dry, brittle or damaged on their own, you may need to switch to a more natural, moisturizing mascara formulation such as Buxom, Korres or similar. You can search for these formulations on Sephora specifically.
All in all, I don't think it is the brush itself causing the problem but maybe a combination of things.

I would not consider this brush travel size because it is as long as a typical full sized brush. However, the bristles are very sturdy so you really don't need to worry about them getting messed up if you just throw it in your makeup bag and go. I travel with mine all the time.

It's a few inches long- not really much longer than other Sephora brushes. It travels well because the eyelash, metal seperator side has a hard plastic cover and the brush comes with a soft plastic cover that helps protect it.

I don't have my brush right in front of me but it is typical full size brush length, not compact. It isn't bulky at all though so it isn't hard to slip into a purse or anything unless you are carrying a tiny evening bag or something similar.

Question

Does this brush hold up well?

I've always used eyebrow/eyelash brushes out of those brush kits you can get at samsclub and the brush always somehow breaks! My last one I had fell apart after I washed it gently under warm water. The glue un-binded and the brush part fell off from the handle part. -_- This one will hold up?

Yes, this brush will definitely hold up. It is made better than the ones you buy at samclub. Also make sure that you don't pull on your the bristle when you clean it, and to be more gentle - just use a brush cleaning spray in between. Good luck!

answer 5

So far I'm not having any trouble with mine. The stem is thicker, so it won't break as easily. I don't normally wash mine (I use it before applying product, so it doesn't come into contact with most of my makeup), but every once in a while I just use a drop of baby shampoo (better for boar bristles) and scrub it gently in the palm of my hand. The head doesn't need to be immersed in water for rinsing. It seems to hold together really well (much better than others I've used), but I try to be gentle just so it will last longer (like with anything, treat it nice and it will work better and longer for you).
