Hey guys! I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while! I haven't has as much time to myself lately, but that will not stop me.
Anyway, here's my recepie for an easy DIY brush cleaner and how I clean my brushes.
All you'll need:
- Dish soap
- Olive oil
- Plate
- Paper towel
- Dirty brushes
- Pour the soap and the olive oil onto the plate, about equal amounts.
- Wet your brush
- Dip it into the mixture
- Swirl it around on the plate until you can see the makeup on the plate
- Rinse off your brush making sure you get all the soap off
- Squeeze the brushes into the towel and lay flat to dry
Depending on how many brushes you have and how dirty they are, you will have to remake the mixture on the plate a few times because your plate will be dirty.
The method behind the madness:
The dish soap is antibacterial, so it removes all of the makeup and germs from the brushes, but can also strip your brushes. The olive oil acts as a conditioner to keep the brushes soft. Just think of it as your hair, it's the same concept.
