No matter how many makeup brushes you own, going through each one and then knowing you have to clean them and disinfect them later gets exhausting – just the thought of it makes me tired. There are products on the market that help with faster cleaning but never has there been a product besides a tissue or napkin that would allow you to quickly remove the shadows from your brush so that you can use it again. Honestly, that method didn’t work accurately either, since sometimes residual product would still be left on the brush and transfer to the new shade you were using.
Just about a year ago I was introduced to a product called Color Switch by Vera Mona. This product is now available in different selections and offers any person using a makeup brush the ease of removing the color on your brush allowing you to then use the same brush in a different shade. You can go from dark colors to light colors and vice versa without color transfer to either or a muddy look when applying the shadows and blending. This product is quite simple and made perfect for a makeup artist to toss into their kit. While it doesn’t clean your brush or disinfect it – if you are like me and like to apply color and then blend the shades with the same brush, this is a great product for you. No more are the days of color transfer or muddy blending.
The Creator of Color Switch – Letty Cabrera-Calvo got the idea for the product from frustration of using multiple brushes when applying eye shadow. Now Color Switch is available in different designs for your needs:
- Color Switch Solo – this product doesn’t have the wet sponge center and is used solely for removing eye shadow from your brush. Retails for $16.99
- Color Switch Duo – (pictured above) is used to not only remove the eye shadow from your brush but also has a sponge center that you can wet to use to apply your shadows wet/foiled. Retails for $19.99
- Color Switch Proband – Newly added to the line, this awesome product is a makeup artist must-have. It attaches to your wrist to allow you to clean your brush for switching up colors on the move. Retails for $34.99
Check out my video for a quick demo. Watch it directly on YouTube here.
Vera Mona also offers refills that you can purchase to replace what you have in your Color Switch – the Solo, Duo and Sponges are all available for purchase on the site as well as a few other products like brushes and sets to help complete your set. You can also easily wash your color switch by removing the inner sponge and washing with water – I also like to wash with soap and then rinse well. I have been able to wash my sponges easily and many times before purchasing replacements.
I have had this product now for almost a year and overall it is a product I’m thankful for. It saves me time and is perfect for quick use. I can’t wait to get my hands on the Proband and look forward to purchasing some of these for friends. Have you tried the Color Switch from Vera Mona before? If you watch my videos I’m sure you have seen me talk about it many times, but if you haven’t… is this a product you think you would get use out of?
This product was sent to me for review and consideration. I also purchased products following PR samples for upkeep with my own money. All opinions are my own – 100% honest and unbiased.
