 How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes

Clean brushes are important. Here is how to clean them.

Why Clean?

Dirty brushes have bacteria. They can cause pimples. Old makeup on brushes also changes colors.

How Often?

Clean foundation brushes once a week. Clean eyeshadow brushes every two weeks.

What You Need

Use a gentle soap or brush cleaner. Warm water works too.

Steps to Clean

1. Wet the bristles with warm water.

2. Put soap in your palm.

3. Swirl the brush in the soap.

4. Rinse until water runs clear.

5. Squeeze out extra water.

6. Lay flat to dry. Do not stand them up. Water can ruin the glue.

Clean brushes make better makeup.
