How I Clean My Makeup Brushes

Cleaning your makeup brushes is one of those necessary tasks that we all have to do. We have to do this to get rid of all of that bacteria from our face that is transferred onto our brush every-time we use it and left to accumulate over time. Here is how I keep my makeup brushes nice and clean, to help avoid any pesky break outs!

1. Firstly, I run my brushes gently under warm water;
2. Next, pump a small amount of your choice of cleaning product into the palm of your hand;
3. Carefully swirl your brush in your hand, and occasionally add some water to lather it up and give your brush a thorough clean;
4. After you feel all of that dirty, oil and left over makeup product has been washed off the brush, gently rinse it under the warm water;
5. Squeeze the excess water out, and if the water released is dirty still go ahead and give your brush another wash;
6. Shape and slightly dry your brushes with a cloth or paper towel, before laying them down flat to dry overnight

Top Tip: try not to let the water seep above the top of the bristles, as this can make them come away from the glue and ruin your brush!
