Being a Make up Artist and a make up addict I have ALOT of brushes so its a bit of a task to clean them but it has to be done! I clean my brushes with anti bacterial soap or baby shampoo. When im on the go and doing clients make up I use the No7 brush cleaner in between clients. I clean my brushes from my make up kit everyday that I use them. I clean my own personal use brushes once a week or once every two weeks depending on how often I used them. I would defiantly recommend cleaning your brushes once a week or once every two weeks so you don't spread germs and spots you may have on your skin and if you are doing other peoples make up it is extremely important to clean with anti bacterial products between clients!
- Using warm water wet the hairs of the brush, make sure you don't get water above the silver bit as it can cause your brushes to fall apart.
- I put a tiny bit of soap on my hand and swirl the brush in the soap and create suds, some brushes will be alot messier than others like your foundation brush, it may take a while for them to be fully clean.
- After that rinse under warm water and repeat until the water runs clear.
- After your brush is fully clean make sure you put the hairs back into their original shape while they are still wet.
- Squeeze out the excess water with your towel and you can also shape brush by doing this.
- When leaving my brushes to dry make sure the hairs are over the edge of your counter so the air reaches all of the hairs
- Brushes will take a few hours to dry and when they do they feel brand new!
- I would not recommend using a hair dryer to dry them as it can melt the hairs down and also I wouldn't recommend leaving them on a radiator. As make up brushes are expensive its too risky.
- Leave brushes air dry for best results.
