Make up brush tips

Happy new year followers! Wishing you all the very best for 2015! 

In today's blog post I thought I'd share with you guys some tips and tricks on how to clean your make up brushes. These tips and tricks are affordable and do not require a lot of products. You simply just need liquid soap and water.

A lot of us in the past have probably spent a lot of money on brush cleansers, but this way gives the same result and is a lot more affordable. 

I wash my make up brushes at least once a week and if you're like me and wear make up everyday then I suggest you do the same thing. The more you wash your brushes the less likely it is to get acne because using a dirty make up brush is one of the most common ways in getting bad skin. So it's extremely important to clean your brushes on a daily basis. 

1. So firstly fill your sink up with lukewarm water and a generous amount of liquid soap.

2. Once your sink is full begin to clean your brushes! Making sure you keep the brush facing down so the product drops into the sink. 

3. Keep soaking the brush in a downward motion into the sink until the brush has no more product on it. Use your thumb and forefinger to clean the product off the brush. 

4: once the brush has been soaked in the lukewarm water, rinse off with cooling water from the tap and add extra soap if you think it's necessary.

5: Once the brushes have been washed leave them by a window sill or radiator and be sure to position the brushes so they're flat. (Place them on a towel!) Do not try to use a hairdryer to dry the brushes because it changes the shape and texture of the brushes so just let them dry naturally! Be patient! I recommend you wash them at night as it takes a few hours for the brushes to thoroughly dry. 

I hope these tips were helpful to you all.
