Every great painting starts out with a blank canvas that is prepared for the paint and oils to be placed on it. A painter is going to make sure the canvas they are painting on is ready to be worked on. Just like when you are repainting your home, every painter knows that inorder for the paint to adhere to the wall a base primer needs to be applied.
The same applies to our face. When you are applying make-up on your face you want to make sure you are working with clean skin and clean tools/beauty brushes. Applying make-up to a clean face will make the finished product that much more perfect. In addition, having clean make-up brushes/tools keeps bacteria out of your lovely face. Therefore it is essential to wash your make-up brushes once a week. It's best to clean them daily with a quick drying make-up cleaner cloth or spray brush cleaner, but a thorough cleaning is necessary once a week. After doing some research I learned that you can use olive oil to clean the make-up particles off of the brush first and then you can proceed to clean the brushes with a mild shampoo (baby shampoo) or facial cleanser. Some have even suggested putting a conditioner on the brush and then rinsing it out to help the brush stay soft (of course that step is not necessary but a great tip).
When you are done washing the brush it's best to dry it off with a clean towel or paper towel and let it dry by laying it on the towel. Never stand the brush upward to dry as this can cause water to go down the shaft of the brush and cause bacteria to grow, so always lay the brush flat on a clean surface or towel to air dry.
So Happy cleaning of those brushes! Let's keep those make-up tools clean so our face can remain gorgeous!
Love always,
