Time To Clean Your Makeup Brushes!
When is the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? Not only your brushes, but also the sponge-tipped applicators that come with your eyeshadow compacts. Following are some tips on how to gently clean and preserve your brushes for sanitary use.
How To Clean Your Makeup Brushes
- Wash your synthetic makeup brushes in lukewarm water with antibacterial handsoap. This is the mose affordable – and often most effective! – way of cleansing your synthetic makeup brushes.
- If you are cleaning delicate, non-synthetic makeup brushes, invest in a high-end makeup remover such as Estee Lauder Take It Away multifunctional makeup remover for face and brushes (my personal favorite makeup remover).
- To clean the sponge-tipped applicators from your eyeshadow compacts, saturate in very warm water then use antibacterial handsoap on these as well.
Optionally, fill a spray bottle with 50/50 water/hydrogen peroxide for a sanitizing spritz for your brushes.
