Hope you're all having fab weekends! Something a bit different today...A plea for some advice.
So here's the thing, cleaning brushes...I use mineral make-up so my brushes get used everyday, A LOT. I am totally rubbish at cleaning them regularly, I would dearly love to clean them once a week like I read some of you all do, but I just run out of time or forget!
And I also don't even know if I am cleaning them right, so please, please comment with your tips, and words of wisdom on how you clean your make-up brushes as I would love to hear!
Here's what I do...
Firstly I always use Johnson's baby shampoo, no idea why really. Think I read it somewhere, figure it's for babies so must be gentle and I like the smell.

Next I run my brushes under lukewarm water and then add the shampoo foaming it up. I tilt the brush down so the water runs away from the handle and not against the bristles.
I will continue running the brush under the water until the water runs clean and the shampoo has thoroughly washed away.
I then leave them to dry naturally.
And voila, I have clean brushes!
My brushes are all from bareMinerals and were all quite expensive, they seem to respond well to being cleaned like this so that is why I have stuck with it.
I would love to hear what you do with your brushes. How do you clean them, and how often do you clean them? I know I definitely need to start cleaning mine more often!
Keep your make-up brushes beautiful!

I use baby shampoo as well, on a Sumsay I wash all the brushes I have used that week.
ReplyDeleteI rinse mine under warm water and then put some shampoo in m hand and swirl the brush in it to really foam it up then rinse it out under the water. I dry mine so the bristles all point down - looks after my brushes and my skin as well :) xx
Ohh thanks for sharing! Good to know I am doing similar thing! I do need to wash them more though, as you say it's better for skin as well!

I use the Johnson's baby shampoo too. I put a blob on the back of my hand and buff the brushes into it then rinse and leave to dry on a towel. I always seem to wash all of them together and then realise I need to use one, doh! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Glad I am doing the same thing! Ha ha I always do that and then have to get the hairdryer on them!!

I try and wash my brushes once a week and I pretty much do exactly the same as you :-) Only difference really is that I use the Tesco own baby shampoo rather than Johnson's. When I dry them I usually place them led down on a piece of kitchen towel xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad I am doing similar to others! Oh you are good doing them once a week, this is always my intention but NEVER actually happens!! I need to get better at that!
