How to Clean Makeup Brushes Step by Step
Washing your makeup brushes frequently can help keep your face and skin clean and healthy. Makeup brushes can often harbor lots of dirt and bacteria, which can be easily removed by following the steps listed below.
Step 1
You can use store brought brush cleaner, normal shampoo, vinegar, make-up removers or antibacterial hand soap to clean the bristles of your brushes.
Step 2
To start, run the brush under hot water to rinse off any caked on make-up. Do this for a minute, holding the brush at a downward angle, so that the water runs down the bristles rather than back along the handle.
Step 3
If using store brought brush cleaner, spray the liquid onto the brush, and follow any directions on the bottle.
If using vinegar, make a mixture of 2 parts vinegar, 1 part water, and soak the bristles for 2-3 minutes.
If using make-up remover or hand soap, please use one that is of a gel or cream consistency. Squirt a small amount onto the bristles and lightly massage it in, being careful not to scrub. Let the remover sit for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Once the time is up, run the brush under hot water once again to rinse. Pull the brush out of the water, and squeeze the bristles lightly between thumb and forefinger from the base to the tip to remove any excess water. Repeat the process if you are unsure if all the soap or cleaner has been removed.
Step 5
Lightly squeeze the brush with a washcloth to remove as much water as possible, then leave the brush flat on its side, or stand it up in a brush holder to dry.
