Welcome to Part II of BellaSugar’s detailed look at make-up brushes. Today’s installment: do-it-yourself brush cleaning. (To read yesterday’s installment on powder brushes, click here.) If you’re making an investment in high-quality tools, then it’s important that you know the correct way to maintain them. Though people don’t often think to wash their make-up brushes, it’s very important that you keep them clean, because they harbor lots of dirt and bacteria, which can cause breakouts and make your make-up go on clumpy. Washing brushes will also make them last longer.
Ideally, you should wash any brush that you use for liquid make-up (including concealer, foundation, lip products, cream shadows, and so on) every day. For brushes used with powder, clean them every two weeks. For tips on how to properly clean your brushes, read more
- Gently run your make-up brushes under lukewarm water. Swish them around in the sink until the water runs clear. Hold the brush under the water with the handle pointing up so that you don’t irreparably damage the brush.
- Add a small amount of mild shampoo or soap to the palm of your hard and swish your brush around in your hand and then under the water. Keep in mind that natural bristle brushes need gentler soaps.
- Rinse your hand and the brush thoroughly, then wring out the water from the brush’s tip. To retain the shape of the brush hair, gently squeeze to remove all traces of soap and water and place them so they can dry flat on a clean dry towel.
Keep in mind that sharing makeup brushes is not advisable because it may lead to infection.
