Maintenance

Many people forget the importance of maintaining your brushes clean. Yes, cleaning your brushes can be a hassle. Having a clean brush makes the foundation or any product go on the face smoother and you don't have old products going onto your skin either. For example, when blending in the crease you always want to make sure the brush is clean so you won’t have any old products that was on the brush previously on your lid now. You could go to any store like Ulta, or Sephora to buy brush cleaners. But, I personally like using a bar of soap when cleaning my brushes. When it comes to cleaning your brushes here are some steps in doing so:

1.      Begin by running your brushes under lukewarm water, rinsing out all of the residual makeup. Try to focus on the actual bristles while avoiding the part of the brush where handle meets the head, as this can loosen the glue over time

2.      Fill a bowl with lukewarm water and a squirt of shampoo, and gently swirl your brush tip in the water. If you need to, you can also swirl the brush in the palm of your hand to work up a lather.

3.      Rinse the brush tip under running water once again. Repeat steps two and three until the water runs clear from the brush,

4.      Use a cloth to wipe your brush clean, reshaping the bristles as you go.

5.      Lay your brushes flat on a cloth to dry.
