How to clean make up brushes?

What should I use to clean make up brushes?


Not the free little brushes or wands that come with make up, But the ones you buy seperately like a make up artist would use.





Is simply dusting it clean good enough?





And if you use your make up brush for one eyeshadow, can you just wipe it clean on your hand or paper towel and then use the next color?


Or do I have to use a seperate brush for each color i'm using that day... unless i wash the brush?How to clean make up brushes?
The easiest thing to do is to purchase a makeup brush cleaner. They come in a spray bottle and you can find them at Walgreens or Walmart.





All you do is spray the brush with the cleanser, allow it to sit for a while, and then rinse.





Also, yes, you can use the same brush for different eyshadow colors. Just wipe the brush on a paper towel or your hand before dipping into the next color. The brush will not tranfer color to the next eyeshadow being used.





Hope that helped!

You should use a brush cleanser to clean your makeup brushes. MAC makes the cheapest for $11 (good investment) or you can make one yourself using EnkoreMakeup's tutorial on youtube. (i tried using it but it doesn't get my brushes clean enough for me)





Yes you can wipe the color and use a new one. i wouldn't buy 10 brushes to apply every color. you can use one over and over again. don't forget to spot clean between uses.





the difference between spot clean and deep clean:


Spot clean is when you put a small amount on the brush or the paper towel and wipe it until its clean.


Deep clean is when you wet the brush down and apply the cleanser until it foams up and wash it clean. Let it dry laying down. NEVER STAND THEM UP when wet.
for a light cleansing just use baby wipes but for deep cleaning you can use a gentle hand soap or face wash. Just swirl it around on your had to clean it and roll a towel up so there's an incline and put the handle at the top of the incline and the bristles are at the flat part that will prevent water from messing up the glue when it dries you dont have to use a seperate brush for each color unless the color is intense if i use black then white i just wipe it with a baby wipe
Deep clean them at least once a week by wetting them with water and massage a gentle shampoo into them, then rinse. I use Head and Shoulders for the brushes. But anything will really work, just don't use something really heavy.





Dusting it off is good enough during the week. I actually have a spray from Sephora called Daily Brush Cleaner. I just spray it on the brush and then wipe it with a kleenex. It dries pretty much instantly. You don't have to use a separate brush for each color...people just do that so the colors don't mix. Just wipe it off good and you should be fine.
well for properly cleaning i recommend warm/hot water with soap and make sure the soap is washed off, ive just used water before and didnt get half as much when i used soap! it was amazing how much come of lol


yea thats okay for eyeshadow. I think its more like blush and powder brushes, cause they can clog pores more. i suppose if you do that everyday then it might be okay but for a good wash i would use warm/hot water with abit of soap

What I do is I ';spot'; clean them by wiping them on a towel, but once a week, I use baby shampoo and wash them in the sink with warm water - you could also use a brush cleaner, but I perfer baby shampoo because it's more gentle %26amp; much cheaper!
You need to get some of your facial cleanser, the put a little dime size of it in your hand, get the brush wet, then swirl the brush around in your hand using a circular motion then rinse.
fill the sink with lukewarm water, and add soap (or buy brush cleaner at sephora). swish it around and leave it out to dry, dont dry it with papertowels or whatever. do this once a week to make them last :)
I use a homemade brush cleanser to clean my brushes. I keep it in a little spray bottle, and I clean my brushes once or twice a week before I go to bed, so they can dry overnight and be ready for use the next morning. Here is the recipe that I use, and a walkthrough of how to make it. You probably already have most of the ingredients hanging around your house! If not, most of it can be purchased at the dollar store!

If you're using eyeshadow brushes for more than one color, try this: Say like you want to use brown and gold shadows for a look. You'll use one side of your brush for the brown, and then flip it over and use the other side for the gold. If you really wanted to, you could wipe them off between colors, but know that you'll get a cleaner application if you only use 1-2 shadows per brush. You kind of don't want to wash your brushes when you're actually using them, because using wet brushes with eyeshadow will give you a totally different look. If you wear lots of different kinds of eyeshadow, it's a pretty good idea to stock up on different kinds of eyeshadow brushes. These ones from Coastal Scents are my favorites, because they're dirt cheap and pack on shadow quite well:

Oh, also, if you are currently using liquid foundation with a brush, you need to clean your liquid foundation brush every day. Otherwise, the leftover foundation in your brush becomes a breeding ground for bacteria, which you'll end up smearing all over your face the next day if you don't wash your brush. Kind of gross, right?





Hope this helps!
