wash it with your hands with soap and water.. then lay it out to dry on a paper towel or a wash cloth.. wring the water out by pinching it with your fingers...that's the best.. most effective way to clean them.Proper way to wash and dry a kabuki make up brush?
To wash your natural bristle mineral makeup brush, pour a little shampoo, hand wash soap or any antibacterial in a bowl and add some warm water. Then swirl the soap and water together before swirling your bristles in the soapy water, take care not to wet the handle or soak the handle. Keep swirling your bristles in the soapy water for about 2 minutes. Empty the bowl and add some warm clean water then swirl your bristles in the water for about a minute repeating the process and changing the water until it is devoid of bubbles (you need to make sure you use only a little soap in the first process or else you would find that it is soapier than you wanted and would need a lot more rinsing!). Shake off the excess water and lie flat on a clean surface (do not stand your brush on the handle when wet as water might loosen the glue holding the bristles in place).





If your brush is made from a synthetic material you will need to be careful when washing as they easily get misshapen, you will need to hold the bristles (lightly) with a rubber band before following the process above this will ensure the bristles keep their shape. Take off rubber band when dry.






I use shampoo to wash all my brushes. Then I add tony %26amp; guy conditioner (any good quality conditoner will do) and leave it on for 5 minutes and rinse off. The conditoner really softens the bristles nicely. I pat dry with towel and just leave to dry naturally. I treat my brushes like my own hair.
clinique makes a really good brush cleanser, it's not that expensive and you can buy it at any department store. They can give you profesional tips there, but I spray my brushes with the cleanser, gently rinse them with water and let them airdry. It works great!
