If there is one step that must be in everyone's makeup routine, it is to clean your makeup brushes. I cannot stress to you all how important it is to clean your makeup brushes thoroughly and regularly. I know that it can be confusing on how to go about cleaning your brushes, so I have provided four easy steps for you all on how to clean your makeup brushes.
Step 1:
Put the brush with the bristles down under warm water.
Step 2:
Place a small amount of soap in your hand and swirl the brush in your hand. (I use the Target brand baby shampoo because it's gentle on my brushes and doesn't irritate my skin)
Step 3:
Rinse the brush under warm water with the bristles down. You may have to lightly squeeze larger brushes to get all of the water and soap out. Also, if the brush isn't fully clean, repeat step 2 as needed.
Step 4:
Lie your brush on a flat surface, specifically a table or counter top of some kind. You want the bristles to hang over the edge so all sides dry equally. It is important to not put your brushes straight up until they are completely dry because you can ruin the brush by allowing water to get into the handle.
I hope these steps help you better clean your brushes in the future!
