How to wash your make up brushes
Washing my brushes is something that is such a chore, and i really don't look forward to it. As such, I have hunted down one of the fastest and most pain free methods to get your brushes looking sparkling new.
First off you will need a cleaner, such as Mac's brush cleaner, but any other brand will do. If you don't have a brush cleaner try baby shampoo, which is a cheap alternative that is still gentle on brushes.
Next I like to take the time to rinse out all my brushes, gently rubbing them against the palm of my hand under running water to remove some of the make up build up. You want to try to keep the majority of the brush, such as the base where the bristles meet the handle, dry. Too much water in this area is bad for the glue, and can result in brush malting.
I then like to fill my sink with some mildly warm water and add some brush cleaner to the the water, leaving them to soak for awhile, and again trying to keep the area where the glue is from being submerged.
After a little while soaking, I rinse off the brushes, and add a bit more cleanser to those brushes that really need it, working it through the bristles then rinsing them off. I then gently towel dry them, smoothing the bristles back into shape, and then leave the brushes to dry in my benjabelle holder. I like to have them upside down, as it means the water doesn't run down into the brush.
Give your brushes a wee bit of time to dry off, and hooray, nice clean brushes, in a way thats relatively pain-free. Hope this helps you out and thanks for reading!
