To store makeup brushes for travel, make sure they are completely dry, pack them with bristles facing the same direction in a case or pouch that keeps them from being crushed, and keep them separate from liquids. A breathable case helps if brushes might still hold a little moisture.
Packing checklist
- Wash brushes a day or two before the trip so they dry fully.
- Bring only the brushes you'll use.
- Pack bristles up or in the same direction.
- Keep brushes away from liquid products.
