If you’re reading this, you need to wash your brushes. It’s something we all forget to do, even me. I remembered to wash my own personal brushes yesterday because I was already washing the ones from my kit (which I do after every use). What really works for me is washing one or two at a time, just the really dirty ones right after I use them in the morning. You’ll get the worst ones taken care of first, then you’ll develop the pattern of washing brushes more often. I took a few photos of my brush washing session to show you how to really work the makeup out from your brushes.
Dirty brushes aren’t just filled with makeup, they collect the oils from your skin (and dust from the air) which you put back into your makeup. It’s a really gross cycle. Take a few extra seconds and get your brushes as clean as you’d like your skin to be.
I don't know this is the real way to clean the brushes, until I have read this post. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the tips. Washing brushes is so gross! Ah! It makes me realize how much makeup and gunk just sits there on it.

I washed them right after I read this. They were really gross.
Thanks – I posted to my Facebook page! I'm paranoid about wetting the bristles all the way, so I'm glad to see that you can give 'em a good soak…
Excellent tips. Thanks for sharing.
