HOW TO CLEAN YOUR MAKE UP BRUSHES

There are some tips for cleaning your make up brushes.

1. Fill the sink with warm water and mild shampoo.

2. Clean each brush by shaking bristles back and forth in the soapy water and then rubbing them until they foam. To keep wood handles from warping or glue from loosening, do not totally submerge brushes. Wipe handles with a damp, soapy cloth.

3. Thoroughly rinse all traces of cleanser from bristles in warm water.

4. Squeeze water from bristles, and then use a dry towel to squeeze out more water.

5. Place clean makeup brushes on the edge of a cabinet until they are totally dry before replacing them into holders.

I am afraid it is not just your makeup brushes that you have to clean, but all the tools in your makeup kit. Brow brushes can be cleaned with shampoo like other makeup brushes. However, if lint and brow hair become tangled and trapped at the base of the brush, use a clean toothpick to loosen between the bristles before washing. Eyelash curlers and pencil sharpeners can be cleaned using a swab saturated with rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. Clean pencil sharpener blades often to prevent bacteria being redistributed onto your lip and eye pencils. Lash curlers can be cleansed, but if the curling inserts have cracks in them, they should be replaced. Replacement inserts are not expensive and can be purchased separately.
