I have a couple of face brushes that the ferrule head broke off from the handle and I just hate it when it happened to me. One was a Sivanna synthetic foundation brush and the other a mini synthetic powder brush that’s not branded. I am very careful when cleaning my brushes, I always make sure that the ferrule doesn’t get wet or the inner side of the brush head. So one day while I was doing my usual foundie routine the ferrule head suddenly broke off and I was in the middle of applying my foundation. It was a bit frustrating but I wasn’t really put out because I have an extra foundation brush. So now what to do with a couple of broken brushes? Knowing that I can still use ‘em because the brush hairs are fine I went out and bought a super glue, Mighty Bond to be exact. These kind of glue is very tricky to use, never touch it with your fingers or let it touch any part of you because you’ll have one hell of a time removing it and when it sticks to anything it really gets stuck. This is the pic tutorial I made:

Apply enough amount of the glue inside the ferrule spread it as evenly as you can

Added note: after applying the glue inside the ferrule stick the handle inside as soon as you can because you don’t want the glue drying out and be sure that you stick it in properly with the brush logo facing the right way. I made that mistake with this brush.
