Did you know?

The longer makeup sits on a brush, the more likely you are to break out and have streaky, blotchy makeup.

Cleaning your brushes is simple. All you need is soap, water and some paper towels. Or you can opt for the brush cleaner of your choice. Follow these 3 easy steps to get those brushes looking so fresh and so clean, clean:

1 – Get your brushes damp and apply soap

In your hand hold the base of your brush and swirl in a circular motion to get all the dirt and grime out.

2 – Soap. Scrub. Rinse. Repeat.

Repeat step one process until your brushes are clean

3 – Ring your brushes and set out to dry

Ring out any remaining water from the brush and repeat until you get out as much water as possible. Lastly, lay out your brushes like the image below and be sure to hang them off an edge. This allows your brushes to drain out and not collect water at the base and stink.
