What can I use to clean the make up brush I use for foundation?

You can choose to purchase makeup bruch removers but I find that baby shampoo, as already previously mentioned, works very well; it is gentle enough to use on the bristles of your brush with no harsh chemical fillers, but is strong enough to remove the bacterial residue from your brush.


And also remember, the way you clean your brush is just as important as what you clean it with. Here are some key steps:





**Using lukewarm water, run your foundation brush under the tap with the bristles pointing in a slanted DOWNWARD fashion. Do not let the bristles point up under the water as this will damage them and cause the glue at the base to loosen.


**After the bristles are wet, squirt a small dollop of baby shampoo into the palm of your hand and dip your brush into the shampoo and gently stroke it through several times. Act as if you were dipping the brush into foundation, using the same gentle motion that you would use to apply it to your face. Do not SWIRL the brush as this will change the shape of your bristles, and instead ';stroke'; it through.


**Next, rinse it off under the lukewarm tap water and lay it dry on a clean piece of paper towel. Do not ever let it dry upright as this will cause the bristles to become loose.


**cLEAN your brush every 2 weeksWhat can I use to clean the make up brush I use for foundation?

makeup remover or facial cleanser
Shampoos usually work-
M.A.C has these brush cleaners that work really well don't just use soap it leaves all the bacteria still thats why you need to buy brush cleaners.
i wash all of my make up brushes with a gentle soap and water every few weeks.
I USE BABY WIPES AND/OR BABY WASH.


AFTERWARDS I APPLY ANTIBACTERIAL SANTIZER TO IT...SO I KNOW ALL THE BACTERIA IS OUT.


THEN I AIR DRY IT
i have lancome foundation and their brush and i use their makup remover, they are wonderfull soap and water mix with oils in foundation an will not get the brush as clean! use a makeup remover, it will work to clean the brush alot better!
MILD SOAP AND WATER IS THE CHEAPEST. ALSO, MAC HAS A BRUSH CLEANER FOR ABOUT $25.00.
You can use some astringent. Go to walmart and buy some pure astringent and let your brushes soak overnight and then rinse thenm thouroughly. If u wanna just be simple soak them in boiled water and then rinse
soap and water or brush cleaner
This is the best: Dial Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap (its Orange). This is a very mild soap and it kills all the bacteria, unlike shampoo and vinegar etc. Work the soap into your brush for 20 seconds or so and rinse out with warm water, then do a shot of cold water to make the bristles of the brush lay flat (if real hair in brush, otherwise skip this step if its synthetic).





Lastly, make sure you only use a small dot of soap this way you are able to rinse it all out. If soap residue is left on the brush, it can cause breakouts when used on the face.





Good Luck!
U Can mix 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar, then dip your brushes in the mixtures and rinse clean in warm water.This will clean and disinfect the brushes.Then let them air dry.
