Cosmetic brush cleaning and drying device {MAKEUP BRUSH CLEANING AND DRYING DEVICE}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for washing and drying a cosmetic brush, and more particularly, to an apparatus for cleaning and drying a cosmetic brush that allows washing and drying of the brush without being held by a user for cleaning and drying the brush. it's about

In general, makeup brushes are made of hair (hair), sponge, latex, or rubber poly series, and the hair is divided into natural animal hair and artificial chemical fiber hair.

The above-mentioned makeup brush is a kind of makeup tool that people use to apply lipstick, eye shadow, ball touch, etc. to the face for makeup or makeup, and is manufactured and used in various forms depending on the type of brush and the structure of the container. There are a fine brush used for eye makeup, a medium brush used for applying lipstick, and a relatively large brush used to touch the cheeks or apply foundation.

The use of makeup brushes as described above is to keep them in cosmetic containers or cases, and when people do makeup or make-up, they apply powder or liquid to the body parts and tap or apply them. The makeup brush for applying the back is very heavily contaminated by facial secretions, saliva sebum, and external dust when used. A large amount of bacteria multiply by feeding on the attached facial secretions and sebum, and if you continue to use it, it becomes a major cause of skin rashes and troubles such as erosion, blemishes, and blemishes.

In particular, professional women, celebrities, theater actors, and models who wear heavy makeup every day cause a big side effect on the face. In particular, makeup brushes are not only used alone, but also used in common, causing many problems due to infection.
