Vera Mona Color Switch Solo

If there’s one thing I hate doing, it’s cleaning my makeup brushes.  Call me lazy but purchasing multiple brushes is easier.  Yes, I’ll admit it.  I would much rather switch off to a clean brush than sit their individually spritzing my dirty brushes until they reach a level of cleanliness.  Is this madness?  possibly, but in a world where time is everything, those seconds quickly add up.

Enter Vera Mona.  Yes dolls, the creator of the Color Switch is a genius.  Consider Color Switch a dishwasher for makeup brushes.  Aside from having an assistant, this is the next best thing.  Whether you are a professional makeup artist or novice, clean makeup brushes are essential for several reasons.  First and foremost hygiene; but that aside, you need a clean brush to perform just about any task.

If there’s one thing I love more than clean brushes, is saving money in the process.
