{From top to bottom} Makeup Forever- Instant Brush Cleaner, Johnson’s baby shampoo, Philosophy- Purity face wash
Happy Friday lover! About a year ago, I learned the importance of washing my makeup brushes. If you do some research, there are endless amounts of products, household items, and ways to wash your brushes. Today I want to share with you how I do it and whichever way you choose to do it, the important part is that you wash them!
Spot Cleaning: For spot cleaning, I use the first product (pictured above) called Makeup Forever – Instant Brush Cleaner. As it reads in the title, spot cleaning is a quick cleanse, done after each time that your brushes are used. Sure this sounds tedious, but keep in mind it is very easy for your brushes to build up bacteria and the only way to prevent that, is by washing them. Makeup artists also have to spot clean between clients for sanitary purposes. So far, this Makeup Forever cleanser is my absolute favorite! You spray the brush 1-2 times, swirl it around in a tissue or paper towel and your brushes instantly look super clean. I definitely recommend this for your spot cleaning to be quick and easy.
Deep Cleaning: Deep cleaning is a full ‘bath’ done to your brushes. Depending on how often you use the brushes, will be the need for the deep cleaning. I wash my brushes this way maybe every other week, mostly because it requires a lot more time. For deep cleaning there really are hundreds of different ways and products to use. I will typically use my Johnson’s baby shampoo (which is why it’s almost empty) or the Purity face wash. Thanks to my friend, Amanda, I realized that this facial cleanser was causing me to break out, so now I only use it for my brushes. Both products leave my brushes clean and always remember to let your brushes dry over night since all the water has to be fully dried before your next use.
Soon I will do a video showing you a demonstration of how I wash my brushes. Let me know if you have found any great products to wash your brushes! 🙂 Have a great weekend loveys!
All my love,
Jessy
