Wash Your Makeup Brushes like a Pro!

Hey Everyone!

So today I have a super helpful blog post for all of you. It is a easy way to clean your makeup brushes and it only uses two products! All you need a some dish washing detergent and a little bit of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

I use whatever is by our kitchen sink, as long as it is antibacterial. I put about five to six table spoons in a plastic container depending on how many brushes you are washing.Then I will use about a table spoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and mix to the two together as much as possible.

I then move everything into my bathroom and get my brushes ready. I keep a towel handy so when I'm finished I can place them on it to dry.

First, let's talk about the parts of your makeup brush.  Starting from the top is the bristles. These can be synthetic or natural. The next part is the ferrule. This is the metal portion where the bristles are glued tightly and it is what connects the bristles to the next portion which is the handle. The handle is what you hold at different lengths to achieve different results.

Let's Begin!  I do my eye brushes then face brushes and lastly my makeup sponges.

All you need to do is turn the water to luke warm so you heat up the glue in the ferrule. Place the bristles under the water with the bristles pointing down so NO water seeps into the ferrule.

After the bristles are wet, dip the brush into the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the into the dish detergent.

Wet your hand and swirl the brush on your palm until the soap forms a lather. Rinse all the soap from the bristles and squeeze out the excess water.

Shape the brush like it was before and place it on a towel to dry. It's as simple as that!

I hope this helped a lot of you and you try this out yourselves. I used this method everytime I wash my brushes and it has kept them clean and germ free until next wash!
