Product description
Each is packaged as a single glove in a plastic retail box. The surface of the glove consists of a series of raised textures designed to assist in the washing and rinsing of cosmetic brushes. One side of the glove is marked and designed for face makeup brushes while the reverse is marked and designed for eye makeup brushes. Each side has three different textures – one labeled “WASH,” one labeled “RINSE,” and one labeled “REFINE.” The brushes are swirled around the bumps and ridges of the raised textures during the cleaning process. Lined ridges in the area between the side of the thumb and forefinger are used to squeeze out excess water and reshape the bristles of the brushes. Each silicone glove is imported with a knit liner made of 70 percent polyester and 30 percent acrylic. The liner fits inside the glove to help protect the hand when cleaning the brushes. The liner is inserted into the glove and packaged for retail sale with the glove at the time of importation.
