Makeup Brush Cleaning

I know that many of us need help in this area! So I did some reasearch and alot of the tips makes sense. For those makeup artist that are on the move during prom, wedding season, etc... These tips will keep your brushes lasting longer and in the best shape for the best application possible!

Cleaning Tips

#1 Real Hair Brushes-Wash and condition your brushes with what you would use to clean your hair with! Shampoo and Conditioner
#2 Synthetic Brushes- Shampoo and Condition then spray a brush conditioner on the bristels
#3 Wash them and while wet squeeze access water while the brush is in a horizontal position
#4 Allow them to dry in a horizontal position (NOT vertical); standing your brushes up to dry causes the water to run down the base of the brush and loosens the glue
#5 Shape your brushes while wet to keep straight long bristels
#6 Use them when they are completely dry
#7 Use a brush condiditoner to keep them clean between cleanings

Using a brush conditioner allows me to do clean and sterile makeup applications one after the other at a sorority fashion show in Los Angeles.
