Cleaning Makeup Brushes (Step by Step)
Most of us should be cleaning our makeup brushes much more often than we are! Use this simple and effective method to clean your makeup brushes in just a few minutes.
Servings 1 clean makeup brush
Cost $3
Equipment
- Silicone trivet
- Clean towel
Ingredients
- 1 tsp dish soap
Instructions
- Run the bristles of your makeup brush under cool water, keeping the brush handle and ferrule (the metal piece between the handle and bristles) as dry as possible.
- Squirt a small amount of dish soap or cleanser onto a silicone trivet or makeup brush cleaning mat, then place the wet bristles of your brush against the soapy trivet and gently swirl it around to create a lather.
- Rinse the bristles, then continue swirling and rinsing until the water runs clear.
- When the brush is clean, rinse the bristles thoroughly and use a clean towel to squeeze the remaining water out of the bristles. Set the brush across the top of a drinking cup and let it air dry for several hours.
