How to Clean Makeup Brushes

Some people like to use brushes to apply makeup to their faces. I am not a makeup expert and I am not going to talk about make up here. I just want to share/remind you ladies on how to wash our brushes. Because we tend to use our brush for a long time, and we keep it uncovered in our makeup bag/box so it might become accumulated with dirt and bacteria. We don't want to apply those bacteria on our skin do we?

You might want to wash your brush once in a month but I suggest for foundation brush that is used daily, wash it every week or two. But I don't know if it'll ruin your brush. I'm no good with brushes (!) I'm sorry.

So, how I wash my makeup brush (actually I just own a bronzing brush):

1) wash it with a little amount of shampoo. you may choose baby shampoo or some people prefer to use gentle face cleanser. We actually can buy brush cleanser unfortunately it's quite expensive. That's why I opt to my shampoo.

2) rinse it thoroughly with cold water until the water run clear. Easy, just like how we wash our paint brush :)

3) let it dry. I think we should leave it dry flat. If you dry it vertically with the brush on top, water will go down into the I-don't-know-what-we-call it thing. you know the part that has glue that make the brush stick to the holder and may wash the glue away.  Limited vocab I have T_T

That's it. If you are a Muslim, it is wise for you to buy a synthetic brush to avoid unintentional buy of pig hair brush. mughallazah!

Bye now!
