It depends what kind of brushes you want to store. Lip and eye brushes (kohl, eyeshadow) are naturally very thin, so about eight to 12 brushes will fit in.

Foundation, powder or rouge brushes are usually larger, so one or two of them would fit in. Brushtube’s diameter is 3.3 cm.

Brushtube can be cleaned with commercially available detergents and disinfectants. Brushtube is dishwasher safe. After cleaning allow to dry before using again. Cleaning instructions can be found inside the packaging. Simply tear along the perforated side, everything is described there in detail.

Brushtube is made of polypropylene and silicone. The materials are food-safe and have been specially selected for their durability.

Brushtube and all its components are 100% manufactured in Germany.

We have attached great importance to making Brushtube as robust as possible, with no complicated mechanism that can easily break. One cannot predict an exact useful life, but with ordinary use and without overloading the components, Brushtube will be your companion for a very long time.

In our view the current debate about the use of plastics is absolutely necessary, as too many disposable products are unnecessarily made of plastic. However, we feel that most common plastics are great materials when used for the right purpose. For example, polypropylene and silicone are very good for producing durable products. This leads to less waste: it is better to have a really good, robust product for a specific purpose than 10 different products that last no time before ending up in landfill.

The only-make-up brushes we know which do not fit really well into Brushtube are kabuki brushes or other brushes with very short, thick bases.
