What can I use to clean the make up brush I use for foundation?

You can choose to purchase makeup bruch removers but I find that baby shampoo, as already previously mentioned, works very well; it is gentle enough to use on the bristles of your brush with no harsh chemical fillers, but is strong enough to remove the bacterial residue from your brush.


And also remember, the way you clean your brush is just as important as what you clean it with. Here are some key steps:





**Using lukewarm water, run your foundation brush under the tap with the bristles pointing in a slanted DOWNWARD fashion. Do not let the bristles point up under the water as this will damage them and cause the glue at the base to loosen.


**After the bristles are wet, squirt a small dollop of baby shampoo into the palm of your hand and dip your brush into the shampoo and gently stroke it through several times. Act as if you were dipping the brush into foundation, using the same gentle motion that you would use to apply it to your face. Do not SWIRL the brush as this will change the shape of your bristles, and instead ';stroke'; it through.


**Next, rinse it off under the lukewarm tap water and lay it dry on a clean piece of paper towel. Do not ever let it dry upright as this will cause the bristles to become loose.


**cLEAN your brush every 2 weeksWhat can I use to clean the make up brush I use for foundation?
Baby shampoo and water.What can I use to clean the make up brush I use for foundation?
makeup remover or facial cleanser
Shampoos usually work-
M.A.C has these brush cleaners that work really well don't just use soap it leaves all the bacteria still thats why you need to buy brush cleaners.
i wash all of my make up brushes with a gentle soap and water every few weeks.
I USE BABY WIPES AND/OR BABY WASH.


AFTERWARDS I APPLY ANTIBACTERIAL SANTIZER TO IT...SO I KNOW ALL THE BACTERIA IS OUT.


THEN I AIR DRY IT
i have lancome foundation and their brush and i use their makup remover, they are wonderfull soap and water mix with oils in foundation an will not get the brush as clean! use a makeup remover, it will work to clean the brush alot better!
MILD SOAP AND WATER IS THE CHEAPEST. ALSO, MAC HAS A BRUSH CLEANER FOR ABOUT $25.00.
You can use some astringent. Go to walmart and buy some pure astringent and let your brushes soak overnight and then rinse thenm thouroughly. If u wanna just be simple soak them in boiled water and then rinse
soap and water or brush cleaner
This is the best: Dial Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap (its Orange). This is a very mild soap and it kills all the bacteria, unlike shampoo and vinegar etc. Work the soap into your brush for 20 seconds or so and rinse out with warm water, then do a shot of cold water to make the bristles of the brush lay flat (if real hair in brush, otherwise skip this step if its synthetic).





Lastly, make sure you only use a small dot of soap this way you are able to rinse it all out. If soap residue is left on the brush, it can cause breakouts when used on the face.





Good Luck!
U Can mix 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar, then dip your brushes in the mixtures and rinse clean in warm water.This will clean and disinfect the brushes.Then let them air dry.

Make-up face brushes? ( make-up artists, help!)?

i want to start making my own make-up kit, and all i need left are the brushes. i don't need eye brushes, because i only use eyeshadow, but what brushes do i need?


http://sephora.com/brands/sephora/displa鈥?/a>





there's so many, concealer brush, overall face brush, foundation brush, powder brush, kabuki brush, blender brush, cheeks brush, flat brush, fan brush..








WHAT IS IT THAT I NEED?





i only use foundations, bronzer, blush, concealer, and illuminator/ highlighter.





that's it. i use loose and pressed powders, and cream blush, but powder bronzer.





help me!Make-up face brushes? ( make-up artists, help!)?
I'm not a makeup artist but here's what I recommend.


The foundation brush- Using your fingers spread bacteria all over your face. Eww.


The bronzer brush- This will work for bronzer and blush, but if you want a seperate blush brush, get it.


The all over shadow small brush (in eyes)- I find that eye brushes tend to be better for concealer, and again you need a brush because of the bacteria thing =]


The angled blush brush- You need this for highlighting.





Hope I helped =]Make-up face brushes? ( make-up artists, help!)?
you should def get brushes for your eyeshadow, its hard to blend with your fingers. unless your only using one color.





i really like MAC's brushes, actually over sephora's.


for your foundation i like either a buffer brush (mac 180) or the 187 brush. http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>





for bronzer and blush i LOVE the 168 brush from MAC. its an angled contouring brush and its great for the cheeks.


http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>





for eyes the 217 is great for putting on color,


http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>


the 239 is good for packing on colors


http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/pr鈥?/a>


and either the 222 or 224 is great for blending colors.

for powder i like this sephoras brush.

For starters, I recommend you buy the MAC Heirloom Face Brush Set.. you can find those at any MAC counters in your department store. If you have a CCO (cosmestic company outlet near you, you'll find them for a cheaper price). That will provide you with the basic brushes-- contour/=r/blush/bronzer (168), powder (187), concealer (194), and 190 (foundation). Also, look into the 109 MAC brush too... that will give you the airbrush look :)
You might want to try the MAC brush case....MAC is the best when it comes to brushes, heres a list of the different brushes and whats it for.

What is the Best Air Brush Make-up Foundation?

I just started experimenting with air brush foundation and have been wanting to offer it as part of my services. I've tried MAC's micronized air brush foundation but it seems to be very sticky and leaves the face pasty looking. Any recommendations on brands or techniques?What is the Best Air Brush Make-up Foundation?
Try the Kett Hydroproof. I hated MAC's airbrush product as well. If you are strapped for cash mix Formula 244 with Revlon Colorstay or with RCMA.What is the Best Air Brush Make-up Foundation?

What kind of brushes should I get for pro make up . Many say there good like goat haired and horse haired but?

Which one is really best to get?











Thank youWhat kind of brushes should I get for pro make up . Many say there good like goat haired and horse haired but?
Okayy well when you are buying makeup brushes they don't really specify on the hair used in the brush sooo it's really a guess.





But If you do manage to find brushes with labels , I would go for the Horse hair .. depending on the brush you want. Sometimes reall hair makes brushes too soft and makes you lose controll with your makeup .








theres a big difference between synthetic and real hair brushes . The synthetic ones are plasticy feeling and chalk on makeup so you;ll know the difference between the brushes when you feel them . The real ones feel really soft but their bristles tend to fall out alot which after time makes them not ask good.





QUO has a good line of brushes using real hair.





hoppe I helped :)What kind of brushes should I get for pro make up . Many say there good like goat haired and horse haired but?
I like the 5 piece professional brush set from kms mineral essentials. The brushes are all made from pony hair.
i think horse haired is good
If you really want to pro makeup then you should invest in pro brushes. Brushes can last many, many years if taken care of properly. I suggest you invest in some good ones and take care of them VERSUS buying cheap ones that will fall apart and not apply your makeup as well ... and that you will have to replace all the time. The amount of money you spend on replacing would pay for your one nice set of pro brushes.





I suggest MAC brushes all the way. They are amazing and hand made... and last a long time! They also make a huge difference in apply your makeup and the look you achieve.





Just start with a few at a time until you have the collection you want built!





I recommend MAC 224, 219, 233 for your eyes

Which make is best for make up and brushes?

Bare Escentuals!Which make is best for make up and brushes?
Sephora makes great makeup and brushes, and they have great quality. However, if you don't like spending a lot of money on makeup, then I recommend drugstore brands like CoverGirl and Maybelline. For brushes though, if you apply makeup all the time [foundation, blush, eyeshadow, you name it], you might want to invest in Sephora's brush sets. If you barely even wear makeup, then just buy brushes from Upstage Collection (sold at drugstores).Which make is best for make up and brushes?
I love Mary Kay's brush set. I used to use BareMinerals until Mary Kay launched their mineral makeup line earlier this year. The brushes are way softer than BareMineral brushes. Check them out here: http://www.marykay.com/tdavis75721. Anyone who shops with me shops for a cause. I will donate half the proceeds from online sales to the American Cancer Association and Half to The Multiple Sclerosis Organization.
go to a place called MAC they can help you

Where can i buy a good make up brush set?

I was thinking of purchasing a MAC make up brush set. The reviews are really good. However, i want to find a legitimate one with a fair price online. Can anybody recommend one for me?





A fair price would be somewhere from 40-80 dollars. But if you can find one that is extremely worth it, but pricey.. you can still list it so i can take a look at it.





Thanks. I greatly appreciate it. =)Where can i buy a good make up brush set?
BOBBI BROWN has the best brushes ever, but look for it through ebay.com, I think it will be cheaper.





Hope that helped.





Good Luck.Where can i buy a good make up brush set?
You can buy a set from Sephora (but their brush sets can run up and the decently priced ones are usually sold out) or you can get Sonia Kashuk's brushes from Target.





Her brushes are normally VERY expensive but she's one of those designers who've jumped on the TARGET bandwagon and started selling reasonably priced products through them. I bought an 8 or 9 brush set of hers from them for under $20 dollars.
Try sephora.com. They have a bunch of choices with reviews :)





Here are the ones I've picked out:





http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P223713%26amp;categoryId=C19975%26amp;shouldPaginate=true ($69)





http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P81406%26amp;categoryId=C19975%26amp;shouldPaginate=true ($44)





http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P127113%26amp;categoryId=C7386%26amp;shouldPaginate=true ($48)
Try Ulta - they carry most of the more expensive makeup brands for less than Sephora.





And I second the Target suggestion - they have some really nice makeup and makeup accessories that aren't considered ';drug store'; products.
go to forum.beauty .com they show not only what makeup is good for you but show you which is good for your skin.
target now sells an eco-friendly makeup brush set that are supposed to be good.
Try Ulta
Go to sephora or sephora.com
