Cleaning makeup brushes !

Hi guys! So I decided to clean my makeup brushes tonight since I haven't since I came home from college for spring break. A lot of people don't know that they should wash their makeup brushes or they don't know how. So I'm going to tell you guys how I wash mine. To begin here's what you need:

-shampoo/soap 

-water 

-clean wash rags / towel 

-antibacterial brush spray (optional) 

-alcohol 

-paper towels 

How to clean brushes:

1. Hold the brush facing down & get it wet under warm water 

2. Put a small drop of the shampoo or soap on your hand, I use my Treseme Deep Cleanse shampoo 

3. Swirl brush in shampoo, lather it up 

4. Rinse well

5. Repeat for all brushes, some may need a couple of washes before they are clean (i.e foundation brushes)

6. Now that the bristles are clean you need to disinfect the handles, put some alcohol on a paper towel to dampen it and wipe down the brush handles

7. Use a rolled up towel on top of a towel that is spread out on a flag surface and put your brushes on the roll so they are slanted, bristles laying on the towel that is spread out

8. Leave them to dry for several hours or overnight 

9. I spray mine with the ELF daily brush cleanser at this point since it disinfects the bristles

10. When you wake up, or come back later you have fresh makeup brushes! 

I hope this helped you guys get an idea of how to wash your brushes! 

Happy washing,

Xoxo
