How do you wash make up brushes?

Thanks:)How do you wash make up brushes?
I use anit-bacterial soap. i wash them gently by just lightly scrabbing them. shake out the water and set them on a paper towel till dry.then i shake them out again to fluff them up (for some reason they feel stiff after i wash them). but its like u do a good paint brush in my opinion-dont be rough rinse well and make sure u get all the soap out!How do you wash make up brushes?
Hmmm, depends on the quality of them.





If they are pricey ones, like the lush ones from Chanel, then Lancome do a special saline to wash brushes in - not cheap but if you have expensive brushes, why ruin them?





If just cheap ones, then use a balanced soap. To be honest I wash my cheap ones in Witch Foaming Facial Cleanser, it seems to work a treat. Foundations brushes are harder to clean - when I used a cheap Avon one (which surprisingly is pretty good). I would use soap to initial wash it, but then massage baby oil into it to get all the crap out.





Towel dry and leave to air dry :) Happy cleaning!
Depending on what material they are made out of. If they are acrylic (fake, not animal hair) use a light soap, such as Ivory and clean it under lukewarm water. If its animal hair you should use a brush cleaner.





Heres a link that explains how to wash your brushes if you need more details:

Hope this helps! :)
Are the brushes Sable or Nylon?





Sable-


1.Mix lukewarm water with a drop of your chosen cleanser and swish it. Swish your brush through the foamy water and then dump the water out. Keep making a new mix and swishing the brush through it until the water no longer gets discolored.


2.Rinse the brush gently under softly flowing water. It is also ok to swish the brush through plain water in a separate cup.


3.If the brush is thick, gently squeeze it between a folded lint-free cloth.


4.Place the brush on a level surface to air dry, making sure the bristles hang freely over the edge.








Nylon-


1.Wet the brush and take a dollop of your chosen cleanser and gently work your cleanser into the bristles with your fingers. Do not rub up the shaft of the bristles, either go down repeatedly or gently rub from side to side.


2.Rinse under softly flowing water.


3.If the nylon brush is thick, it is ok to squeeze it between the folds of a lint-free cloth.


4.Place the brush on a level surface with the bristles hanging freely over the edge.
