Clean make up brushes?

what is the best way to clean and store my make up brushes?Clean make up brushes?
i use shampoo and conditioner on my makeup brushes. hold the brushes with the hair down and make sure they are positioned that way so the water doesn't go into the ferrule (the part that's connected to the handle). put a smidgen of shampoo on your palm and wash the brush ends like you would your hair. rinse. put a bit of conditioner, rinse again. dry your brushes horizontally on a towel.Clean make up brushes?
you may use household products like shampoo and conditioner:


Take your brushes and gently rub on a paper towel to remove excess product.


Rinse them under running water with the hair facing down and away from you so that the water doesn't run down the inside part of the brush.


Shampoo them with a mild shampoo or baby soap, rinse them still facing down and away from you.


Condition them, I like to keep them conditioning for 2 mins.


Rinse them again facing down and away from you.


Gently shape them back to original shape.


Lay them out on a paper towel to dry, never store them upright while they are wet because the water can go inside the brush and loosen the adhesives.





You can also buy a brush cleaner, pour a little bit into a bowl and dip and move around and blot on a paper towel.





The best way to store brushes is in a clean dry place away from dust and creepy crawlies. Take a cylindrical container with a lid or cover (pringles container, perfume container, a glass) My container is a sunglass sylinder that came free with the eyewear. It has a plastic screw on lid too. If not keep them in a box or its original leather case just away from dust keeping them in an upright position as to keep the original shape of the brushes.
I wash my make up brushes in a little bit of mild shampoo then put conditioner on them for a little while then rinse them and lie them flat leaving them to dry over night
