It really depends. Some make up brushes are fairly hard to begin with and it's hard to make them softer. This is generally with blusher, powder or bronzer brushes, I find. My Chanel one is quite hard.
Firstly, you need to decide whether the brush is meant to be hard or if it wasn't. If it was meant to be that way, it would have been fairly hard when you brought it. If it was designed to be a hard brush, there really isn't too much you can do, except buy a new one that isn't as hard.
If it wasn't hard when you purchased it, have you taken proper care of your brush? If you are referring to a foundation brush being hard, it is most likely it was through neglect of washing it regularly enough and making sure it was clean. Your brushes should be cleaned with a soft cleanser or shampoo at least once a week then left to dry naturally. If you don't do this then the brushes will become clogged with makeup, which leads to them being quite hard. Unfortunately, the longer you leave it the harder it becomes to fix, and if you have done this with a foundation brush, you've probably ruined it and need to get a new one as they don't go back to normal after not being looked after. Try giving your brushes a good wash and see if that helps.
If that doesn't help then you may need to buy some new brushes... take care to make sure you find a soft one to begin with (Nars, Bobbi Brown and Prescriptives are very good), then wash them once a week to ensure they stay nice.One of my make-up brushes has hard bristles, how can I make them softer?
i no this one!..baby shampoo is really mild and will soften yur brushes.. wash them out afterwards and let them air dry.
i do that and mine are really soft!
No, you can't,. Shampoo won't work either...
Make sure it's been washed a few times and air dryed. Should soften it up. Use shampoo to wash your brush. Good luck :)
The best thing is to wash it and air dry/ blow dry it.
