How To Clean Up Makeup Brushes

 Lets talk about our makeup brushes shall we! So do you keep your makeup brushes and reuse them over and over again? If so here are a few tips for you to help keep your brushes good longer.

Quick-cleaning with a spray:

1. Spray your brush a few times, with the heads pointing down to prevent any moisture from seeping into the glue.
2. Swirl your brush against a clean cloth or paper towel to loosen up the pigments.
3. Air-dry your brushes on a flat surface.

Quick-cleaning with a liquid cleaner:

1. Fill a small bowl with a thin layer of the solution (for super-concentrated options like Cinema Secrets, less is more).
2. Dip the tip of your brush into the solution.
3. Gently run your brush back and forth on a clean paper towel or a microfiber towel until all the product buildup is loosened up and your brush feels clean.
4. Air-dry your brushes on a flat surface.

Deep-cleaning with soap and water:

1. Holding your brushes with the bristles facing down, gently run lukewarm water in the sink and wet the tips of the bristles. 
2. Add a drop of your soap of choice to a textured cleansing pad (or even something like your palm), and swirl the brush into the soap until it’s fully lathered up and any pigment or dirt is removed. Or, if you’re using a bar soap, gently rub your makeup brush or sponge into the soap, creating a lather.
3. Gently squeeze your makeup brush or sponge to remove any excess cleanser or water.
4. Rinse again with clean water, with the bristles facing downward. 
5. Gently squeeze out any excess water, and mold your bristles back into place so they will dry correctly.
6. Lay your brushes flat to dry on a towel or paper towel. 
7. Want to speed up the drying? You can direct the breeze from a fan at your makeup brushes. Just make sure that you’re avoiding heat from devices like hair dryers, which can dry out the bristles.
