Ü!! Warning - Picture Loaded Post!! Ü

Cleaning our brushes is one major factor in make-up that we shouldn't forget to do, this action is a must for us make-up lovers and addicts. However, there are people who tend to overlook on this issue not knowing what will be the effects of this. Not cleaning your brush is just the same as not cleaning your face, because the bacteria that has been in that brush will be on your face the next time you'll be using it (and i swear you don't like to have breakouts, pimples and acnes all over your gorgeous face, so minus points for our guys out there right? Ü ). Actually i got the way i clean my brushes from some of my favorite make-up gurus in youtube. So in this post i will be sharing you my way of cleaning my brushes. Ü

Things you'll need:
Hair shampoo, Olive oil, Honey Shampoo
and a little bowl
and a spare make-up (non-latex) sponge

How i do it:
(Ingredients mixing)

-pour half a tablespoon of olive oil (this ingredient moisturizes the brush)
- (optional) add a tablespoon of honey and vitamin rich shampoo (this nourishes
the hair of the brushes as it contains honey and vitamin E which is also good
for the skin)
- now pour a tablespoon of your hair shampoo (this cleans and sanitizes the brush)
-after everything has been poured its time to mix all of them.
-this is how it should look (very much like a soup. Ü)

(Time for the Brushes to get cleaned!!! Ü)

• first things first! wet the brushes to get rid or make-up residues or particles.

• step two, dip the dirty brushes on the little bowl where our mixture for cleaning is at.
  

• step three is swiping it against the hand in a circular motion. doing it this way, the brush will absorb the cleanser to also clean and kill the bacterias and germs that built their homes inside.

- as for the eye brushes (which includes the concealer brush), use the spare non-latex make-up brush to do this step.

• the fourth step would be rinsing off the shampoo from your brushes. This will take way the germs and bacterias that had their build-up in the hard-to-reach areas inside the brush. Thus, will give you a fresher and cleaner brush to use.

• the fifth and final step is drying. After i have just rinsed it i take off the excess water by swiping the wet brush in a circular motion on a piece of cloth or a dry towel. Then i'll leave laying on a top of a table with it's head hanging out for airdrying.

Tips:

• never leave your brushes standing up after washing as the water will soften the glue that binds the hair to the ferrule and handle making your brush hair separated from its body.
• be gentle when your washing this to avoid shedding.
• to make the drying time short, leave the brushes the way i did but with a turned-on electric fan in front of it.
  
• always know that synthetic brushes dries longer than natural hair. Natural hair dries quickly compared to the synthetic ones.
• never give a try on blow-drying your brushes, i swear you'll never like the result like i do.
