We use these tools on our faces almost everyday!
Which is why a good clean is pretty important when we think about it
So I thought I'd help present a nice and easy way to wash one's make up brushes :)
It's rather simple, with the help of two easily accessible things:
1. Extra virgin olive oil (organic is probably best, but it's just an option ^^)
2. A gentle baby shampoo or Antibacterial dawn dish soap! :)
the process itself is pretty easy^^
Using evoo, apply on the brushes (I like to just pour it in a little bowl) and brush them onto a paper towel- evoo is a natural make up cleanser, so you'll notice that the make up will begin to break down and rub onto the paper towel which is good!
Continue to do so until there's no more appearances of make up on the paper towel.
After wards, using the shampoo or the dish soap- whatever's available to you cause either one works- apply whichever brush with soap and warm or cold water- Hot water damages your brush. Lather it up and then rinse!
Try not to get any areas above the metal ring around the brush wet because it protects what binds your brush together- the glue. If water gets near it, it can deteriorate and you'll lose your brush's bristles and that means bad brush :(
After that's done, try to thoroughly dry your brushes of excess water and let them dry- there's another way to do this- which I think is the safer route ( I learned this from Michelle Phan! So credits to her B])
Using brush guards like so ( I guess this makes this a third item, but it's optional)
Place them upside down in a cup and let them dry- not only does this help the brush keep its shape but also allows any excess water to leave the brush for good! :)
happy cleaning! XD
