How to Wash Makeup Brushes

Let's face it! Professional makeup brushes are an investment.  And, like any other investment, we want a great return on that investment.  One of best ways to ensure that will happen is proper brush care. One of the best things you can do for your brushes is to clean them - regularly.  Clean them when they are first purchased and clean them on a regular basis to remove:

	Old makeup
	Dirt & debris
	Bacteria
	Oils
	Dead skin cells

One of the greatest benefits to keeping your brushes clean is softness! Yes, did you realize that makeup buildup, especially foundation, makes your brushes feel scratchy? If you have sensitive skin, cleaning your brushes regularly will help them stay soft and lush! Your skin will thank you!

How often should you clean your brushes?  Ideally, everyday. But, who has time for that? So, here are a few guidelines:

	Foundation Brushes - minimum once a week
	Brushes used for finishing powders and bronzers - once a week
	Blush Brushes - one a week
	Eyeshadow Brushes - every 2-3 days
	Eyeliner Brushes - after every use especially if you use an eyeliner sealant.

For those that suffer with acne, you will greatly benefit from keeping your foundation brushes clean at all times. To cut down on cleaning time, rotate brushes so you always have a fresh clean one to use.

How to wash your makeup brushes :

1. Run the bristles of the brushes under warm water. If you have bamboo handled brushes, take caution not to get the bamboo wet. Because if you use hot water, your brush fur will fall down.

2. Put a drop of baby shampoo on the bristles. Put a heavy drop on for blush, foundation, and kabuki brushes, and small drops for concealer, eyeliner, and other small brushes.

3. Rub in the shampoo, gently, until you have a bit of a lather forming. Depending on the makeup you've used, the lather may be a bit colorful. Create a nice lather, and make sure you get to almost every bristle. Try to avoid distorting the shape of the brush. Be careful not to get shampoo in the ferrule, or the metal part that holds the bristles and the handle together.

4. Rinse thoroughly. Rinse until there is no more visible lather, and keep rinsing. Get into the middle of the bristles, not just the outside.

5. Blot the brushes dry on a towel. Try not to change the natural shape of the bristles. It may seem fun to fan them out as far as possible, but that fun will end when you have a hole in your coverage.

6. Before drying your brush, Don't forget to use the Brush Guard to protect your brushes fur.

7. Place the brush into a glass, make sure you brush position within the cup orinverted so that water that is in your brush dry and will not damage the glue that is in the brush.

You can find Brush Guard on Amazon, Ebay, and a few shop selling cosmetics.
