How to Professionally Clean Your Makeup Brushes

I don't know about you guys, but I am always trying to find ways to save money! One of the things that I feel like I waste alot of money on is cosmetics. I'm constantly buying new eyeshadows when the seasons change. But another expense is the brushes to go with them! One of these days I am going to buy a professional makeup brush set.................
 

Bobbie Brown Set $60.00


But until that day, I will keep cleaning the ones I have. So that leads me to my blog topic for the day-HOW TO CLEAN YOUR MAKEUP BRUSHES LIKE A PROFESSIONAL without the expense of the professional brush cleaners! I found this tip on Pinterest and cleaned my brushes this morning. I don't think I have ever found a better techniques than this. My brushes were so clean they looked like I had just bought them. Not to mention they smell great, feel so soft, and I didn't have to go buy news ones :)

         Here is what you will need:

• Dawn Dish Soap- Original
• Distilled White Vinegar
• Glass Measuring Cup {2 cup}
• Water



Mix together 2 tablespoons of white vinegar with 1/2 teaspoon of Dawn dish soap in a glass measuring cup. Fill the rest of the measuring cup with hot water. Place  makeup brushes in the measuring cup and allow them to soak for 5-10 minutes. Remove the brushes from the solution and rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. Lay your makeup brushes on a towel and allow them to air dry. You can also hang your makeup brushes upside down if you have a clothes line, by attaching each individual brush to a clothes pin. This way water will not seep down into the brush handle and cause bacteria to grow. Once dry, your brushes are like new! Saving $ is great, and having a clean face is awsome too!
