 Did you know makeup has a dirty secret?  

It's BACTERIA, and your applying it to your face everyday! Every time you use your brushes, makeup, oil, dirt and bacteria get trapped in the bristles of your brushes and is shown in laboratory testing to multiply to staggering amounts quickly, leading to clogged pores and pesky breakouts, as well as serious skin health issues. We wash our body, face and hair daily, along with our clothes regularly, however most women only occasionally or never wash their makeup brushes. Ironic that one of the things we rely on to keep us looking our best, our makeup brushes, can actually be our worst enemy against breakouts and skin health.

Your brushes need to be properly cleaned 

to remove bacteria and buildup

Alcohol based quick dry cleaners only clean the bristle tips, plus they can damage both synthetic and natural hair bristles and loosen glue quickly. Experts highly suggest, the average woman should sterilize their brushes daily and deep clean with a water-based cleaner, at least once a week. Cosmetic stores, spas and makeup artists should sterilizer after each client and then properly deep clean brushes with a water-based cleaner once a day.

The reason this deep cleaning is very rarely done is due to the time it takes for brushes to dry and be able to use again. Some thick natural hair brushes can take 24 hours to air dry, leading to the possibility of mold growth. Improper drying position can cause moisture seepage and loosen bristles. 

Your makeup brushes are expensive, proper care of your brushes will extend their life tremendously.

    Be quick to enjoy best pricing!!

    All perk prices are well below the retail prices that will go in effect after campaign ends. Early Bird Perks are the best deals but have limited quantities, so don't hesitate or they'll be gone. Package Perks are also great for saving $ and include a wall rack and cleaning kit.

    Why am I pre-ordering through Indiegogo?

    Pre-ordering through Indiegogo guarantees your the first to own a Brush Medic and at a deep discounted price off retail pricing. While we are already funding our first production run starting in December, your help with the contributions received during this campaign will help fund our 2nd production run so we can deliver the 2nd production run as early as possible so we don't have a  long waiting period between delivery of products. We believe this is a win win for all. 

    Why did BRUSH MEDIC™ choose to crowdfund?

    We have several fully functional prototypes of both Brush Medic Pro and Mini models in use by professional makeup artists locally and traveling nationally. We have aligned ourselves with a manufacturing company to produce units and will soon be ready for production as soon as CE, RoHS and UL listing certifications are complete.

    We were able to speed up our production process time and keep pricing down by working with a manufacture with existing injection molds of products in other markets and innovatively modifying them to add our hardware and proprietary technology, ultimately producing our exclusive patent pending BRUSH MEDIC Makeup Brush Drying and UV Sterilizing Machines. This is also allowing us to start a low production run before this campaign ends for a quicker delivery of our first Brush Medic machines. 200 of each of our Brush Medic Pro and Mini models will be run with an expected April 2015 delivery. These are divided between our 6 options of "EARLY BIRD" perks, so act quickly or they will be gone! Our 2nd run of production will be ordered according to pre-orders here on Indiegogo with delivery estimated for June 2015. (see all perks for expected delivery dates of products)

    Though we have big ambitions, we are a small start-up company and only have the capacity to finance this modest first production run. This is where you come in.  You can help us to increase the amount of product we can order from the factory as well as accelerate the speed with which we can get it into the hands of our customers. Your support will make this possible and will be a vital spark in growing a company obsessed with fixing this dirty secret of bacteria within the cosmetic industry.

    This campaign's goal is set at raising a modest $25,000, this is due to being pretty far ahead in the production process. However, we fully expect to exceed that easily but if we do not reach our goal, rest assured we are still moving forward with production of all products and will deliver to the best of our ability as described.

    As for our other available perks, we are already producing our wall racks and cleaning kits and will ship immediately at campaigns end, unless you selected a perk that is a "package", then it will ship along with your dryer/sterilizer.

      Risks & Challenges

      Brush Medic LLC has developed and built all the products shown on this campaign and are not computer generated images (unlike many other companies using crowdfunding), of a product that is just an idea. Our prototypes have been fully tested for performance and safety, we have several that are currently being used daily by individuals and professionals with nothing but great praise and feedback. Our end product may differ only slightly than what is shown but only has an improvement. For example, our end product Brush Medic Pro, will have a digital timer that is not on our prototypes. Again, we are aligned with a manufacturing company and ready to go into production and believe we can deliver products within our estimated delivery dates shown on each perk.

      Risks to you minimized

      We are using Paypal and Apple Pay for credit card processing, so if anything happens and we do not deliver, they will always protect you!
