IT Cosmetics Makeup Brush Set and Holder

Makeup brushes require a dedicated space that can help keep them clean, propped upright and displayed in an organized fashion. Because you use makeup brushes directly on your face, you don’t want to toss them in the bottom of a drawer like you might do with your lip gloss or mascara. Not only can such a haphazard storage method leave your brushes exposed to dirt and germs, but it also risks messing up the bristles. Instead, use these makeup holders to keep your tools out of harm’s way and to give your vanity some flair.
