You will also be given the option to pay for these charges at the checkout stage so there won't be any fees to pay when the delivery is due. Unfortunately we have no control over the customs and duties fees but we will clearly indicate these to you if they apply.

How often should I clean my brushes?

So the recommendation we like to give for cleaning your most used face brushes would ideally be once a week, make it part of your Sunday routine so you don't forget, otherwise you'll have a build up of grease, oils and bacterias on your brushes, and these transfer onto your face....nasty!

The time frame for cleaning eye brushes is really dependent on how often you use them, for your most loved ones, perhaps 2 weeks, or if you're swapping colours a lot adjust this accordingly.

How should I clean my brushes?

We recommend you show your brushes some love with our brush cleaning accessories that can be found here.

Wet the brush bristles in a lukewarm water and run over the surface of the soap to create a lather. Rinse the bristles, careful not to wet the metal ferrule as this can loosen the glue and gently squeeze out any excess water. Repeat as necessary and leave brushes to dry flat.

Avoid drying your brushes on a radiator as the heat can also damage the glue and break down the brushes.

Are you products cruelty-free and vegan?

All our products are 100% cruelty free and vegan, we never have and never will test on our fury friends or include any animal-derived ingredients in our products. You can shop the entire range in confidence.

You can find us registered with both PETA and the Vegan Society

What materials are you brushes made with?

Our brush bristles are made from the highest quality taklon hair making them not only super soft but also hypoallergenic, durable, long lasting, easy to clean and quick drying… the list goes on!

All our brush handles are made with wood from a sustainable source and go through three finishing stages to ensure a vibrant and glossy finish.

We’re proud to say all of our brushes are hand crafted and made with love.

We hope you love using them as much as we do making them.

How do I know if my products are authentic?

We only sell our products on our own website and a select few retailers.

If you have any concerns about counterfeit products please drop us an email on contact@spectrumcollections.com and we will be happy to help.
