Hello people
It's been a few days, trust you are all doing great? Today my post is about hygiene and makeup: how to clean your make up brushes. I hope you have makeup brushes, cause they are very essential tools in any makeup kit. I'll make a mental note to do a post on the must have makeup brushes for every woman and their uses.
Back to the subject of the day, you should wipe off your brushes after almost every use, baby wipes will do just fine you can even add a few sprays of meth spirit to kill any germs they might have picked up. You should also wash them often to prevent breakouts caused by bacteria due to product and dirt build up which leads to contamination.
There are essentially two types of brushes:

There are essentially two types of brushes:
Natural haired and synthetic.
Brushes with natural hair have soft, fluffy heads made from fur of goat, horse, squirrel etc while synthetic brushes are usually harder and sharper.
Whether your brush is natural or not, was at least once a month (twice is ideal) with warm water and a mild/baby shampoo. If you have sensitive skin prone to allergies,a useful tip is to use a hypoallergenic soapy facial cleanser in place of shampoo.

Directions: sorry i have blurred pictures, had no one to take them for me!
What i used: Revlon conditioner, clean and clear morning burst facial wash, warm water
Put water in a small bowl and add a little a shampoo depending on the size of the brush.
Dip the brush head into the soapy water and swirl gently for a few seconds then massage, and swirl again.
For foundation or powder brushes, you will probably need to change the water and repeat the process so that you can thoroughly clean the brush. Rinse of shampoo by swirling in clean water.
For synthetic brushes this is all that is needed. But if yours has got natural bristles, you need to prepare a conditioner solution and swirl the brush in it for about a minute before rinsing finally. This will ensure that your brush remains soft and fluffy.
Gently squeeze out the water, be careful to maintain the shape of the brush while doing so
You can then lie it straight down to dry or hang it face down. Never hang wet brushes face up. The water will erode the glue holding the bristles together and dislodge them.
So that's it!
Till next time,
Stay beeyoutiful.
