I won’t keep you in suspense here. The magic trick to making your makeup look better lies in three simple words:
Clean. Your. Brushes.
Plus, it’s easier than you think to keep them fresh and new. Here’s how.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES
What You’ll Need
- your dirty brushes
- a bar of soap {a popular choice is the Charcoal cleansing bar . I used a Korres bar that I picked up from a hotel on our trip to Greece. Whatever you use, just designate that as your brush bar. Don’t also use it to wash your face.}
- warm running water
- a hand towel
Start cleaning
Hold the soap in one hand under the warm running water. Using circular motions, rub the brush on the soap under the water. Place on a hand towel to dry.
Secret tip: Wash your brushes in the AM to give them time to try. If you clean at night, they may still be damp in the morning.
I think that we can all agree that the actual act of cleaning your makeup brushes isn’t that difficult. It’s finding the time! I wish I could give you an easy life hack here, but let’s face it. We all get behind on the things we should be doing. Set small goals like once a month or maybe even once a week.
Or maybe life will remind you. Of your skin isn’t looking as great as it once did, take a step back and clean the things that touch your face all day.
xox,
