How often do you clean your makeup brushes?

Question

And what do you use to clean them?

Answer 1

I clean my natural bristle brushes every couple weeks using a few drops of conditioning shampoo and warm water. Rinse well, pat dry with a towel, then set them aside to air dry.

Answer 2

Makeup brushes can harbor lots of dirt and bacteria, but frequent washing of your makeup brushes can keep them - and your face - clean and healthy.

STEP 1: Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water.

STEP 2: Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather.

STEP 3: Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water. You will notice that the water leaving the brush is tinted from old makeup.

STEP 4: Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush.

STEP 5: Allow it to air-dry.


Many professional makeup artists use a specialized cleaning solution for their brushes. These solutions are available at most beauty supply stores.
