Though its mundane task but cleaning your makeup brushes is very important part of your make-up routine unless you want bacteria to spread all over your face. Even cleansing of make-up brush is necessary to maintain their quality and life. So better get your brushes to take a warm bath as soon as possible. Here is step by step guide on how to clean your brushes with some inside tips:

  1. Prepare your brush army for the battle, lay down all your brushes near the sink plus you will need a clean towel and a mild shampoo or mild handwash.
  2. Now if you don’t have option of running warm water in your sink then you will need a mug full of warm water.
  3. Dampen your brushes with running cold water before washing them.
  4. Now pump a drop of shampoo directly on the brush.
  6. Softly Swirl the brushes on your palms like you are applying foundation, let it froth and thoroughly allow it to saturate and remove all the product.
  7. Rinse the brush in warm water to remove excess oil or colour left on product.
  8. Repeat 5 & 6 if you feel it’s not cleaned properly.
  9. Squeeze the excess water from brush and then test on skin to ensure no make-up or shampoo residue is left over.
  10. Gently pat a clean towel on the brush and let it flat dry on the towel over night.

 

Inside scoop:

–          Remember to be gentle with your brushes so you don’t pull out those expensive hair from the base of the brush.

–          If you don’t have mild shampoo  then dish wash + 2 drops of olive oil will also work wonders while keeping your brush soft and supple

–          Avoid letting water go beyond the brush hair because if it goes into the metal holding it might ruin the brush by loosening the glue which is holding the hair. You can hang it downwards or just splash lightly like we do when ink pen is not working and then let it lay down flat.

–          Store your brushes separately from your make-up to avoid friction

–          After every use clean your brushes with cleanser, so it can be used few times without deep cleansing.

–          If you use make up occasionally, then deep cleanse your brushes once a month and otherwise bimonthly

–          Deep Clean your brushes during bedtime which will make them ready for next day

Lastly, give brush a good cleanse and marvel them, to make them long lasting
