I purchase new make up brushes....?

and I have no idea what to do. Do I clean them? If so how? They're brand new. I have like blush, powder, eyeshadow, lip etc... brushes.I purchase new make up brushes....?
I didn't wash my new ones, I wash them every month as recommended, in mild soap %26amp; lukewarm water, pat them on a paper towel to get excess off that shows if I've got them clean good or not %26amp; let them air dry.





I think she's got a good idea, except for spraying it on them often. That could cause a build up of moisture %26amp; start bacteria growing. Main thing is see that they dry good after you wash them.I purchase new make up brushes....?
Maybe cleaning them would be a good idea, you don't know how dirty the place that made the brushes was. Break them in a little bit, just blend using the brushes against your skin like you are applying it, but it'll just be you breaking them in. I don't think those are mandatory things to do with new brushes (I'm always to antsy to use my new brushes that I always forget to do those!) but they might help. Hopefully that helped! :)
You don't have to clean them before use.


I like to deep clean mine after I've used them a while though.





Soap and water doesn't cut it.


I made some brush cleaning solution by finding a squirt bottle, (I used an old root volumizer bottle) and added water, alcohol, hair conditioner, dish soap and some eye makeup remover. Every so often, I spray my brushed with it and clean it off with a paper towel.

i do it and it works great!!
Take a damp cloth and just wipe the brush clean. Make sure it is not very wet, atleast thats what I do.
no, you dont clean them when you first buy them.. however you could... but try not to wet them because it can cause breakage.. airing them in the sun is a great idea :)
you don't really need to clean them before using them.


some people choose to because they smell funny (animal hair).
