LET'S TALK ABOUT CLEANING MAKEUP BRUSHES ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why clean makeup brushes?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--cleaning makeup brushes on a regular basis prevents dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria (as in the unwanted kind) from spreading on the skin
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--helps makeup go on smoothly (build up on makeup brushes doesn't result in the best makeup look)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--makeup brushes will last longer (it's a way of taking care of what you have and saving money in the long-term) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's a simple makeup brush cleaner that I use a couple times a month to clean my makeup brushes: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1/8 cup witch hazel
1/2 tsp baby mild castile soap
1/4 cup water
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Add your makeup brushes to the mixture. I like to swish the brushes back in forth in the mixture and then let them soak for a few minutes. The mixture will go from clear to a dirty makeup mixture quickly. After a few minutes, remove the brushes, dump the solution, and rinse the brushes under the water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let the brushes rest on a towel to dry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
