The wood of the pear is one of the preferred materials in the manufacture of high-quality woodwind instruments, fine furniture, and artistic carvings. The handles of ISOMA brushes are also made from the hardwood of the pear tree. The metal part of the brush that binds the brush hair to the handle is made of nickel-plated brass ferrules. ISOMA has selected a variety of natural hairs (red sable, weasel, squirrel, badger, goat, raccoon, horse, and boar,) for specific uses of its various brushes. Only nature's highest quality natural hairs from these species are selected for softness on the skin and their ability to superbly perform the application function. Also, high-quality nylon filaments are the preferred choice of material for brushes that are to be used with cream and liquid products. ISOMA's brushes are tapered at the ends to provide flexibility, ease of application and the desired results.
The International Society of Makeup Artists is pleased to offer its premium-quality line of professional makeup brushes to the international community of multi-media makeup artists for their artistic creations.

One may also use a good quality hair shampoo to clean their brushes.
However, avoid a shampoo that contains any kind of oils, glycerin or
heavy conditioners. Such products tend to soften and make brushes
feel greasy and less fluffy like real hair does if it was not rinsed
well and still contains too much shampoo or conditioner in it. Make
sure you rinse your brushes very well. When using this method, place
a small amount of shampoo (that has been semi-diluted with water) in
the palm of your hand and gently stroke the brush back and forth
over the shampoo to permit the shampoo to be absorbed into the hair
and cleanse the hairs of the brush. Do not let the shampoo get into
the metal ferrule area of the brush. After cleansing, gently rinse
your brushes well under clean, lukewarm running water. Then use cool
water as a final rinse water. Afterwards, gently blot the brush with
tissues or a soft folded paper towel to remove any excess
water. Finally, shape your brush hairs into its normal shape and
permit the brush to dry by placing your brush over the edge of a
counter or table so the brushes can dry as quickly as possible in an
even manner by permitting the air to circulate around the brush
hairs.
One should note that this shampoo cleaning method takes a longer
period of time to dry the brushes (especially brushes that are thick
and full), so it is best to clean your brushes at night when using
this method so they will have ample time to dry.
No matter which cleaning method that you may select to use, please
do not permit your brushes to stand on the hair ends, to do so will
distort the shape of your brush hairs. Also, do not permit your
brushes to dry with the brush hair and ferrule facing upwards. To do
so will allow brush cleaning fluid or water to enter the metal brush
ferrule and weaken the adhesive that holds the hair to the brush.
Weak adhesive can cause the brush to shed hair and make the brush
handle become wobbly.

ner to permit excess waste
to fall to the bottom of the container while cleaning the brushes.
Immerse your brush hairs into the cleaning solution at a slight
angle and gently brush the brush hairs over the coil to remove any
unwanted properties from the brush. Do not permit the solution to
soak or seep into the metal ferrule area of the brush. To do so can
weaken the adhesive inside the ferrule that holds the hair to the
brush and it may cause shedding of hair from the brush ferrule and
make the brush handle become wobbly. Once you feel that you have
cleaned the brush well, stroke it against the sides of the top of
the container wall to remove as much excess cleaning liquid from the
brush hairs. Afterwards, gently brush the brush hairs against
several layers of tissues or a few folded soft paper towels in order
to permit any remaining cleaning fluid to be absorbed into the
tissues or folded paper towels. Once you have done this to see how
clean the brush is and to remove as much brush cleaning fluid as
possible, shape your brush into its normal brush shape. Afterwards,
place the brush over the edge of your makeup counter or a table so
air can circulate all around the brush hairs and permit the brush to
quickly air-dry. This liquid cleaning fluid method dries quickly.
