New makeup brush owners? Deep cleaning and disinfecting your brushes are very important. It helps to prevent breakouts and communicable infections. Learning a new 'at home remedy' on how to clean your brushes: A light antibacterial dish washing soap (dawn) and a bit of olive oil, or baby shampoo/wash (Johnson's). Both are affordable and very gentle on the skin/hair which means gentle on your brushes.
When washing your brushes, wash the hairs separate from the handle and absolutely DO NOT get water into the metal part of the brush, it will loosen the glue and ruin your brush. Dry your brushes with the brissles facing downward, so the water drips out through the hairs. Proper cleaning/drying/maintaining will help the life of your brushes last longer.
Recommended cleaning time:
Your personal brushes: After every third use or weekly.
Client: After every use, or during an event. Use a disinfectant spray/cleanse spray between clients.
*Rememer as a makeup artist, your brushes are like your babies, they are your tools/essentials. They need proper care.
