How I Clean My Makeup Brushes

Cleaning your make up brushes is a must, especially if your using them every day :-) 

I spot clean my brushes after every use and every Sunday I give all my brushes a good deep cleaning. 

1⃣ To give my brushes a quick clean I use the P.S Love Makeup Brush Cleanser from the Penneys / Primark range. I spray it into each of my brushes and then swirl each brush onto a tissue a couple of times until no more product comes off. 

2⃣ To give them a deep clean I first run a small bit of sanitizer (also from the P.S Love range in Penneys) over the handle and hairs of the brush. 

3⃣ I wet the brush hairs and take a moisturising baby shampoo by Simple and work it into the brush hairs. 

This shampoo leaves the brush hairs super soft :-) 

4⃣ I then swirl the brushes onto a ribbed rubber oven mitt to really break down any makeup in the brush hairs. You can also just use your hand instead to swirl the brushes into.

5⃣ I rinse each brush until there is no more shampoo in the brush hairs. 

6⃣ Finally, to dry the brushes I leave them against a towel so that they are almost standing up right. 

This is important as water seeping up the brushes can loosen the glue over time and can lead to the brush hairs falling out, and that's just not cool :-P 

I usually do this in the evening and leave them to fully dry over night :-) 

Hope you guys enjoyed this post and find it helpful :-)
