HOW I CLEAN MY MAKEUP BRUSHES






So like many girls I'm obsessed with makeup! And with a  makeup obsession comes brushes, a lot of them, and because they're being used constantly it's important that you keep them clean, because, the longer you leave them un-cleaned the more you're letting things such as bacteria, oil, dead skin, etc, build up inside your brushes, which your'e then transferring onto your clean face! And while I can admit that cleaning your brushes can be a very long process which I sometimes dread doing or keep putting it off....



But since purchasing the Brushegg (which if you're in Australia is available at the Cube stores and is only $5) it's become a lot quicker and easier!

The brushegg has definitely reduced the time it takes to clean all my brushes and has made sure that ever brush has been thoroughly cleaned and is completely makeup free!



So now onto how I use the brushegg + my detol no touch soap dispenser to clean my brushes through and through!!
So first I take my brush and just saturate it with some water just so it's damp, then I put some detol soap (you can use whichever soap/ shampoo, etc you like, but detol seems to work the best for me and I find using the no touch dispenser minimises the mess I make and the spread of water around my bathroom!) onto my brushegg and then take my brush and swirl it around the egg quite thoroughly and then I also swirl it around whilst it's under a running tap and then I just repeat these steps until i'm satisfied with how clean the brush is!

In other cleaning tips, make to only saturate/ clean the actual brush, not the handle, etc, also make sure to let the brushes dry completely prior to using them again, I find that cleaning them after I've used them and giving them the full 24 hours until I need to use them again to dry or cleaning them around dinner time also seems to let them dry completely until the next use.

Also make sure you're cleaning your foundation, powder, bronzer and blush brush at least every week, your eyeshadow brushes 1/2 times a week, depending on use and makes sure that you're cleaning your eyeliner brush (if using a brush to apply your eyeliner from a pot, etc..) after every use!

You can purchase a Brushegg directly through their website thebrushegg.com
or you can also purchase the brushegg from sites such as eBay & amazon!

So that's it for this blog post, thanks for reading and I hope you found this post helpful!
