3 Ways to Clean Makeup Brushes

10:00 AM

I think I can speak for majority of the women out there when I say, MAKEUP IS LIFE!! 
I could put makeup on every single day if I didn't have to rush to classes. 
The downfall of makeup is taking your whole bucket of brushes and washing them! Some may love it as it could be a way to relax, others may not and would rather the brushes to magically wash themselves (guilty!). BUT nonetheless, washing brushes is ESSENTIAL! If you want a clean face and no bacteria to reside on your face, wash those brushes! Here are 3 cleaning products to help out!


Real Techniques Deep Cleansing Gel  is a great brand name soap. It is a concentrated soap that isn't drying and is alcohol free! It isn't harsh to the makeup brushes and once dry it feels brand new. I love the smell of the soap as it reminds me of Soap & Glory's signature smell "Pink". 

If you don't want to spend too much money on soap, I would recommend some plain ol' dish soap! Dawn Dish soap with Olay Renewal! My roommate told me about this, it's very very affordable and with the Olay Renewal it leaves your hands and your brushes silky smooth. It does the same exact thing Real Techniques product does but it is more affordable if you're "Ballin' on a Budget!" *You could also use Johnson Baby Soap! I use this product for a weekly cleanse and the Real Technique for deep cleanse. 

Lastly, a bar of soap. Crazy huh? Any bar soap would do but I would use an organic bar because it is better for your brushes so that they are not damaged once dry. This bar soap above is home made with lavender and peppermint. You could also use Zote laundry bar soap, which works the same way to take out tough stains -- so it will take out tough liquid foundation product, which likes to hide in the bristles. 

Brushes should be treated with care and washed once a week at least! I'm guilty of letting them sit out for 2 weeks or so but I need to be more persistent if I don't want any break outs to occur.

What are some products that you use?
Best,
