There are a few things you can do to protect and take care of your makeup brushes while traveling.

Here are three easy tips for properly and safely taking your favorite makeup brushes on the go:

•  Create a separate “travel set” of your essential makeup brushes rather than using your everyday brushes
•  Make sure your brushes are clean and completely dry before packing
•  Keep the brushes separate from your makeup. Use a brush roll or separate makeup bag helping to keep your brushes clean and from being damaged.
