As I mentioned before, makeup brushes to me are like my babies. Without them, it would feel like as if a photographer without her camera. So today, I would like to share with you how to wash makeup brushes as I think this is the number one most important step in maintaining your brushes.
To do this, all you need are: a soap and water
1. Before you start, always make sure that your sink is clean. To create soapy water, place a bar of soap in the sink while filling up the sink with half full of warm water.
2. Place all your dirty makeup brushes into the soap water and let it sit for a minute or two.
3. With one hand holding a bar of soap, I would give a couple gentle sweep on top of the soap to ensure all the brushes are rid of makeup residue. Do this to all of your brushes one by one.
4. then with a thumb and index give it a gentle squeeze in the direction of your brush to squeeze out all the makeup residue
5. Drain all the dirty soapy water and give your sink a quick rinse before filling it with half full of clean water. Give all your brushes a nice rinse in the water and you are good to go
6. Lastly, leave it air dry lying flat on a napkin (you can also use a towel or basket, whichever work best for you). NEVER let it dry standing in your brush holder as the water will weight the hair down and this will distort the shape of your brush.
This complete my tutorial! Hope you like it!

ReplyDeleteWould you use this method for wooden handled brushes? I'm always worried that the water will seep in and crack them.
Thanks for the great post!
I have to do this myself, because my brushes need a little treat!

Hi Ang, this is informative post but may I suggest that you try not to dip the whole brush into the water because it will damage the brush - dip until the metal part other the glue and hair etc will fall apart. Hope that helps!

ReplyDeleteI really like you putting up this tutorial. I wash my brushes a lot, but I know some girls don't do it that much. That is a bit stupid because most of us use makeup to make ourselves more perfect and flawless, and putting bacterias via brushes on your face is not the best way...so CLEAN THEM UP :)
