Cleaning Makeup Brushes?

[AmandaSewi]

How do you clean makeup brushes after using grease makeup? I tried just water and paper towels but they seem to still have makeup all in the brushes... Any ideas?

Hot water and dishwashing detergent or shampoo. Let them soak for a little while and them gently wash them. That should get the makeup off.

Both Mac and Ulta sell a really good brush cleaner. Comes in a spray bottle, you sray the brushes and then wipe them off on tissue. You will see all the makeup come out. I usually clean mine in the evening and by morning they are dry and good as new.

Not sure about grease make-up (?) but I just use face wash to clean mine, then blot water off w/ a towel & let them dry overnight.

if a brush has been used for foundation or concealer, I like to put the shampoo into a cup with some water (about an inch full" and dip the brush in and swirl it arouund. usually gets things out pretty well.

 

i use baby shampoo on mine, and condiiton them with my regular hair conditioner on them once a month (makes them really soft).

 

lay flat to dry. standing them upright to dry can cause the adhesive holding the hairs together to loosen or breakdown.

Warm water and Liquid soap. (like dial) blot dry on paper towel and leave to dry...U may have to repeat as Nes.

Sephora makes a really good brush cleaner as well. I clean them at night, and they're good to go in the morning.

i use the MAC brush cleanser (pink liquid in a bottle) about $12 CDN and it works great on foundation brushes, eye shadow brushes, lip liner brushes, blush brushes...

I always use a little bit of shampoo and warm water, lather, rinse and repeat as necessary!
