Cleaning my make-up brushes must be on my to-do list every single week if not more often, especially my foundation brush or any brush I use with creams or liquids I have to clean them after a use or two cause soon bacteria will find a new home and we do not want that! It might also cause some skin problems that we’re better off without, you should clean your brushes at least twice a week! Plus it helps the brush maintain its perfect condition and performance! So if you’re facing unexplainable breakouts or your brush isn’t working as good as it used to then it’s a sign that you need to give your brushes a bath!
The easiest way to do with is fill a cup with lukewarm water, add some of your brush cleanser (I use BareMinerals deep cleansing foam) or baby shampoo into the cup, give it a couple of stirs then dip your makeup brushes in wait for few minutes then start stirring the water using your makeup brushes then take your, one at a time place it under running water massage the bristle till its clean, if it’s still not clean put a drop of shampoo into the palm of your hand and swivel then rinse it off! You can also do the exact same process with conditioner, I don’t usually do that but you can if you want to, after that press each brush into a towel to squeeze any excess water out then place your brushes on and edge of a table or sink to air dry!

Hey, I have a question. How long does it take for the brushes to dry up?
Depends on the size and density, the eyeshadow brushes usually takes and hour or less, the bigger brushes takes up to 2-3 hours, but the kabuki brushes I usually leave them overnight to dry
Great post! A lot of people forget to clean their make-up brushes not knowing that some skin problems are related in away or another to the bacteria building up in dirty brushes.
am using Bobbi Brown brush cleaning spray .. it’s really good.
