Cleaning your makeup brushes:

The tools you use to apply your makeup make quite a bit of difference in the final look. That’s why keeping your makeup brushes clean is so important! Luckily, this is an easy task to accomplish at home simply by gathering a few items you’ll already have.

To create: Mix 1 TBS of olive oil with 1 TBS of shampoo. The olive oil conditions the bristles while the shampoo cleans.

Clean it: Dip your brush into the solution and use your fingers to massage it through the bristles. Take your time on this step to ensure you get to all the makeup worked in. Avoid submerging the bristles completely as they’re glued to the base of the brush and you don’t want to loosen the glue.

Finish Up: Rinse brush under running water. Blot your brushes with a paper towel or washcloth. If a lot of residue comes out, rinse and repeat. Otherwise, let them dry overnight.
