Best way of washing make-up brushes?  |
|
I was looking at my make-up brushes this morning and figured that at least one of them was long long overdue for a wash.
It's the brush I use for the finishing powder (dusted on after the foundation layer - i use liquid foundation from clinque).
Do those of you who own make-up brushes wash them periodically? Like once a year or every half a year?
What is the best way of cleaning them? warm water? soap? special kind of soap? I also have a blusher brush. How often should I be cleaning them?
thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom on this!

2. jillhill (11840) | 1 year ago | I never wash mine..I just get new ones. Usually a new brush comes with a new product anyway so there is no need to clean them...

3. ExoticSarah (792) | 1 year ago | I find the best way to wash brushes it create a homemade cocktail that I know is going to get rid of any kind of bacteria on them. I combine Alcohol and Hot Water, with a little bit of Shampoo. It does the trick very well.

muscles4me (9195) | 1 year ago | Alcohol.water and shampoo sounds like a good idea. For my lipstick brush since the lipstick clings to the brush I just use the product that I clean my face with. I work at Sallys Beauty Supply and we sell a make up brush clean but I have never bought it. It must be good as well sell alot of it.

4. roniroxas (5937) | 1 year ago | i am a singer and i use make-up almost every night, i clean my brush specially the one i use for my blusher for it really gives me an itch so i wash it every weekend. i use liquid soap. body wash is what i use. i wet the brush then put a little amount of liquid body soap on my palm and brush my brush there in curcular motions. i rinse it and pat it dry with tissue paper or paper towels. i will lie it down on the table to dry. that is what i do.

6. applefreak (2170) | 1 year ago | well i don't use make up too often so i don't own brushes. but i've done some reading up on these things (i'm curious about everything). it would seem that the washing can't wait. it's best to wash them at least once a month. just soak them in hot water and a little bit of mild detergent. or you can use make up remover too. just fill a bowl with make up remover and soak the brush head inside. the maximum one should go without washing is three months.

7. superrrcreep (212) | 1 year ago | you should wash your foundation brushes every day or every other day, it carries alot of bacteria. you can use a cheap baby shampoo so it will be gentle on the fibers. as for the rest of your brushes probably once a week. just put some of the shampoo in your hand, and some warm water and swirl the brushes in your palm until they are clean.

8. pmh0802 (15)  | 1 year ago | I try to clean mine once a month. I had bought a brush cleaner by Mac that I use with warm water. Then I let the brushes air dry. I have some decent brushes so I want to make them last as long as possible, and since I like to switch up my eyeshadow and blush it's important to keep them clean so I'm not getting colors mixed up. I think a gentle liquid soap and warm water would work too if you don't want to invest in a brush cleaner.

squaretile (2424) | 1 year ago | yeah a Mac brush cleaner sounds expensive, but probably best to use if you've invested in a mac brush. i considered buying one but the investment was too large in the end. it was gonna cost me about 30-40 USD! for a brush.

9. hezoid (1788) | 1 year ago | You can buy special make up brush cleaner but to be honest you're just as well using warm soapy water use mild soap though) to clean them then letting the brushes air dry. I find that works best. I could do with cleaning mine really.

squaretile (2424) | 1 year ago | thanks I think hand soap might work too.
