How to Clean Makeup Brushes
Difficulty: Easy
Makeup brushes can harbor lots of dirt and bacteria, but frequent washing of your
makeup brushes can keep them - and your face - clean and healthy.
Instructions
• STEP 1: Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water.
• STEP 2: Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light
lather.
• STEP 3: Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water. You will notice that the
water leaving the brush is tinted from old makeup.
• STEP 4: Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush.
• STEP 5: Allow it to air-dry.
Tips & Warnings
• Many professional makeup artists use a specialized cleaning solution for their
brushes. These solutions are available at most beauty supply stores.

How to Remove Makeup Thoroughly
