Cleaning
your brushes is a must! Deep cleaning your brushes should be on your planner
every week and spot cleaning them is every time after you use it. Although, I
gotta admit, I'm lazy about cleaning my brushes. It's such a chore!!!!! But
cleaning your brushes will prevent break outs and help your brushes last
longer. Spot cleaning your brushes will show your products' true color, not a
mix of the eyeshadow you used yesterday and the one you want to use today. The
recipe that I'm going to share to you is fairly simple. I actually got it from
Enkore, but I doubled the recipe so I don't
have to keep on making it. You might even have all the ingredients in
your house already!
Recipe:
Spray bottle
2 cups of
purified water
1
tbsp of antibacterial soap (choose a
color you prefer)
1 tbsp of a
gentle shampoo
1 tbsp of
extra virgin olive oil or a liquid leave in conditioner
1/2
cup of alcohol (I prefer 90% or more)
The spray bottle could be bought anywhere such
as Target, Walmart, Dollar Tree or any beauty store. Just pour all the liquids
in the bottle and shake! Make sure you shake the mixture every time before you
spray it onto your brushes. You don't want to get your brushes too wet when
spot cleaning it, just enough to get the product out and onto a paper towel.
But, if you prefer dipping the brush in a bowl of the cleaner, go ahead. The
drying process will just take longer. There is no need to rinse the brush after
spraying the cleanser. I also like spraying this on my brushes after deep
cleaning it to let the olive oil moisturize the brush bristles and the alcohol
fight any remaining bacteria. Remember to dry your brushes flat or upside down!
I hope this helped! I'll try to post a video on my YouTube channel:
