Hi chappes,
Today I had a free day so I thought it was the perfect time to clean my makeup brushes as they were getting a bit dirty. I love using clean brushes and your makeup apply so much better.
These are all my brushes - its quite a small collection but I use all the brushes regularly as well as my complexion sponge. And a small collection means less brushes to wash and clean.
I keep it very simple as I don't want to apply to many products on the brushes.
I only apply hot water and soap (at the moment I use Fairy liquid) . I don't use anything fancy I have no brush cleansing glove or palette which would be nice.
But all I do is apply hot water to the brush, then pump some soap on the back of my hands and swirl the brush to get a lava.
Then rinse it under until all the soap has gone.
I repeat this process until the brush is clean and no sign of makeup.
It's really quick and simple but it works.
Hope you like this post.

I need to clean some of my brushes, so this is really handy! It's so interesting to learn how other people clean their brushes. I recently bought a cleaner thing from Primark which works really well!xx

Thank you, you've reminded me that I need to wash my brushes! I recommend using baby shampoo as it keeps your brushes super soft! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting Hannah and I will definitely try some baby shampoo to clean my brushes.

Really enjoyed this post! Just like the above comments I really need to wash my brushes they have gotten so dirty it's not even funny so thank you for the reminder. I'm just like you, I have a small collection and personally it's better you get to use all of your brushes regularly. :)

Thank you for commenting Jordanne - same I don't really like washing them but I usually play something on in the background (today was yesterdays PLL). But I'm so happy when they are clean.

I do pretty much the same thing except I have a little silicon brush cleaner! I got it really cheap at TJ Maxx and it gets the soap and product out so much better for me :)
