How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes Like a Pro
Follow these simple steps for perfectly clean brushes every time:
1. Wet & Apply
Wet bristles with lukewarm water, keeping the ferrule (metal part) dry to prevent loosening.
2. Soap
Apply 1-2 drops of liquid soap or rub brush directly on bar soap.
3. Massage
Gently work into a lather using a silicone cleaning pad or the palm of your hand.
4. Rinse
Rinse thoroughly until the water runs completely clear.
5. Dry
Reshape bristles to their original form and lay flat to dry overnight.
