How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes
Cleaning your makeup brushes is easy.

1. Shampoo your brush by gently lathering in a small amount of your favorite shampoo with your fingers.


2. Rinse your brush thoroughly under running water.


3. Repeat the process until there is no visible makeup in the brush and the water runs clear.


4. Dry your brush by running the bristles across a clean dry towel in a uniform direction. This will help bring the brush back to its proper shape.

Then lay your brush out on the towel overnight to dry.
Your brushes will be ready for use in the morning!

For best results, we recommend cleaning your makeup brushes every 2 weeks - or more often depending on usage.

Hope this answers you question.

i wash my brushes every week with my hair shampoo. i rinse the brush, shampoo it, rinse and keep shampooing and rinsing until all the make up is out. the first time may take longer but once you do it once a week, it will be quick. make sure you lay it to dry on a towel...never standing up as the water will settle in the base of the brush and loosen the adhesive. after each use with clients, i spray rubbing alcohol on a kleenex and whirl the brush around until it is clean. this dries quickly and keeps it hygenic.

MAC makes a nice brush cleaner. I mix it with a touch of baby shampoo and it really helps the keep the brushes clean. I do that once every other week to keep bacteria to a minimum.
