How To Clean Your Brushes




I can't begin to explain how important cleaning your brushes is, hygiene is crucial when dealing with 

anything that gets put on your body and especially your face . Brushes are meant to pick up pigments 

and color. They can very easily pick up  dust particles as well as sebum and other gross thing we don't 

want on our face. Not washing your brushes can make your skin more prone to break-out and also make 

your makeup go on weird. Since other products get built on to the brushes the true color you are trying to 

use won't go on as it is meant to. Cleaning your brushes isn't rocket science and anyone can do it. I know 

that there are brush cleaners out there that do the job fantastically but most are pretty pricey. If you are 

going to be washing your brushes regularly or quite often buying brush cleaner may burn a hole in your

pocket.

step 2-  Find your self some shampoo and conditioner ( 2 in 1 shampoo works well to ) 

Step 3- Mix both shampoo and conditioner in a small bowl 

Step 4- Dip brush one by one in the shampoo and conditioner mixture 

Step 5 - Gently massage the mixture into the brushes and work up a latter
