When choosing a make-up bandage, there are several nuances to consider.

• Usability is key. Options in the form of soft hoops have no decor. They are laconic, but very comfortable and easy to clean. Analogs with rhinestones, beads, pearls and printed patterns need to be hand washed. Bulky headbands with large bows are not always convenient. To understand this, you need a fitting during the selection. The comfort of the product is selected first.
• It is important to pay attention to the tightness of the dressing. It should not fall off the head, but any pressure on the temples is excluded. If the accessory has decor, it should look aesthetically pleasing. It is unacceptable that the decor outweighs the bandage itself (for example, long hare ears should not hang forward or backward).
• When buying, they pay attention to the quality of the product. If there is a picture - on its symmetry. Uneven lines, protruding threads, visible defects are excluded.
• Choosing the best option, take into account the type of material... It should be durable, hypoallergenic, soft, lightweight. The durability and practicality of the bandage depends on these parameters. Fleece is considered a good textile.It has a small pile, is particularly elastic, easy to clean, and can be washed. Does not fade or deform over time.
• The color scheme depends on your own preferences. Some people like practical things, others prefer bright and light accessories.
• It is better to buy a bandage from a trusted supplier. If it is not possible to buy in a store, an accessory can be ordered online, having previously scrolled through customer reviews about a particular seller. In this case, you need to find out the size for a specific head volume, clarify the width, cost. You need to take an option that will not squeeze your head during prolonged wear.
• The perfect bandage will not only improve your makeup application... You need to take the option that will facilitate the care procedures, and can also be used for other purposes (for example, while working at a computer, while reading, playing sports, as a replacement for an elastic band for hair).
• If the product is inexpensive, you can buy several headbands. Also on sale there are varieties with removable elements (for example, bows). If desired, the decor can be removed by making the bandage laconic.
• The choice of mounts is important. Products with Velcro are inferior to analogues with an elastic band. Hair can stick to them, while ordinary accessories do not have this problem.
