How To: Clean Makeup Brushes
What You Need
Follow This Advice
Once a week, spritz the bristles of your makeup brush, making sure to dampen both sides if the brush is flat. Wipe a clean
cloth with the moistened brush until the brush comes clean.
Tip: You can purchase brush-cleaner spray at a drugstore or department store.
Run the tips of the bristles under warm water. Pour a little baby shampoo into the palm of one hand. Holding the brush in
the other hand, swirl the bristles around in the baby shampoo. Rinse the brush by swirling in a bowl of clean warm water.
Use a cloth to wipe the brush clean; then lay it flat on a cloth to dry.
Tip: When dipping your brush into water, make sure not to submerge it all the way to the base of the bristles. Doing so can loosen
the glue that binds the bristles together.
