Spring Cleaning: exactly how I laundry My Brushes

It’s officially the very first week of Spring!  I toyed with the concept of doing a spring cleaning makeup purging entry… however I’m just not psychologically up for sorting with my stock yet.  So instead, I’ll show you exactly how I clean my makeup brushes.

Min teknikk har etablert seg over tid. For years I just washed my brushes with infant shampoo, laid them out on a towel as well as called it a day. But as more tools ended up being available, I was able to enhance my technique as well as set up.

All them filthy brushes!
I laundry (or sometimes referred to as “deep clean”) my brushes on a regular basis – my eye makeup as well as foundation brushes are normally utilized only when as well as then set aside for cleaning.  My sponges are likewise utilized just when as well as usually washed that extremely morning – I don’t like to let foundation dry inside the sponge which can permanently discolor it.  This may seem extreme however I don’t want to danger bacteria build-up which can cause cross contamination between my brushes, my makeup as well as my face.

I changed out the flip cap with a pump for simplicity of use.
My main cleaning agent stays Johnson’s Head-to-Toe infant laundry – it’s mild, effective, rinses clean, as well as inexpensive.  I’ve tried utilizing routine hair shampoo, hand soap, Dr. Bronner’s Castile soap, and meal washing liquid with diverse degrees of success.  My least favourite cleaning agent was Dr. Bronner’s soap, which left a gummy residue on my synthetic brushes, while making my natural-haired bristle brushes dry as well as frizzy.  Sometimes I will add a decrease of meal washing liquid (Dawn is my preference) to laundry synthetic foundation brushes that have been soiled with longwearing foundations.  I don’t like utilizing the spray type clean cleaners for area cleaning – I discover them to be drying, since most are alcohol-based which enable brushes to be disinfected and dried in quick succession – a necessity for makeup artists however not for me.

I just recently found the Koren Zander clean Soaps (he is of Enkore makeup fame – so unfortunate he no longer makes videos) as well as they’re great.  Housed in a travel case, the soap (which is imprinted with Enkore’s logo however it uses off with use) has a loofah embedded into the base to assist loosen residue from the bristles.  The soap leaves my brushes feeling clean, yet soft as well as conditioned.  I particularly like utilizing these soaps for natural-haired brushes.  I have 2 scents so far: Pearberry as well as Cantaloupe – and they smell delicious.

Remember all the hoopla over the silly, overpriced $39 Sigma clean cleaning glove?  Here’s my solution:

I just wear a routine meal washing glove as well as location a plastic deep clean cleaner (cost me $1!  Available from art supply stores) on my palm.  For larger brushes as well as stubborn foundation, I utilize this silicone cellulite massager, which I bought particularly to laundry brushes:

Personally, I don’t believe this tool would assist with cellulite.
Cost me $6 from Winners (Canadian version of TJMAxx) as well as the ridges assist to loosen makeup residue from the bristles without damaging them.

Washing is quite directly forward: I wet my clean with warm water, put on a dab of the cleanser or swirl in the soap, run it back as well as forth against the numbs of the plastic clean cleaner to loosen makeup, as well as then rens grundig. Det er det! I accumulate around 60 brushes before I laundry a batch of brushes so it takes about 30 minutes from begin to surface to laundry them all.

After washing, I requirement to ensure my brushes are dried properly – stay tuned for my “How I dry my brushes” post, coming up tomorrow!
