How I Clean My Make-Up Brushes

I have to admit I am very lazy when it comes to cleaning my make up brushes. it’s not until they resemble a shade of brown or orange that I even think about washing them.(bad beauty blogger, I know!) Recently I’ve been trying to wash them more than every month, and by doing so I’ve seen a massive difference in not only the way my make up applies, but also the look of my skin. I’ve been getting hardly any spots since washing them more and my skin is looking healthier in general. So for today’s post I thought I’d talk you through how I easily clean my make up brushes.

1)I start by laying all my make up brushes in front of me, and getting a towel ready to to put them on to dry.
2. I will then take my make up brush, (I usually start with the biggest ones first) run it under the cold water, then apply some antibacterial hand soap to a soap dish and start washing the wet brush in the dish.

3)After rubbing my brush around in the soap for a little bit I will then rinse it under the tap to remove the soap and make up.
4) I will repeat step 2 and 3 until the water runs clear and no soap buds or make up remains.
5) Once I am happy with how clean the brush is, I will squeeze any excess water out of the brush and lay it flat on a towel to dry overnight.

There you have it, 5 quick and easy steps to get clean make up brushes! It usually takes me around 20 minutes to wash all of my brushes using this routine? which I don’t think is too bad.
Another thing I have been doing lately is spraying a making setting spray or even water onto my brush and wiping it wish a wet up just to give them a quick clean in between washes.
