How to Clean your Make-up brushes

First of all cleaning your make-up brushes is an important step as it is for you to apply your foundation, why? because the brush has collected germs and skin cells and needs to be cleaned in order for them to be fresh.

I tend to use Johnson's baby shampoo as its gentle and removes all the dirt and oil from my make-up brushes plus the added bonus that it smells nice and isn't too expensive. (you can pick yourself up a bottle from any supermarket or Boots and Superdrug)

First of all I get two bowls one of which I put a little bit of shampoo in, dipping my brush into the baby shampoo, I tap and swirl the makeup brush to remove the residue of the makeup from the brush bristles. (Don't be to harsh at this step as you might damage your brushes but try and be as gentle and light as you can) The bristles will tend to foam up into a murky color.

Next I tap and swirl the brushes into the second bowl in which there is warm water (40 degrees enables all the germs to be killed) this allows the dirt and residue to transfer into the bowl and come off the brush. then tap the brush against the edge of the bowl.

Next fold a towel and roll up the top so that the top is fatter and slightly raised than the rest of it and use the raised part to place the bristle part of the brushes on. Leave to dry, the raised towel enables the brushes to dry at an angle meaning that no water will be left in the brush.

Nice clean brushes :)
Hope that helps
