We paint, contour, and apply makeup to our face using our brushes daily, but how often are those brushes being cleaned after use? Turns out, not enough. According to dermatologists and makeup artist, we should be cleaning our tools on a weekly basis — at least — in order to prevent bacteria buildup, which can ultimately lead to unwanted breakouts. 5FtSix recommends cleaning your makeup brushes daily which is easy to do using the method that I will show you. Read on to find out how to clean up your makeup brushes the right way, daily.
Cleaning your makeup brushes regularly can extend the life of the bristles and make for a better makeup application. If makeup brushes are dirty, makeup application will be spotty and blending will be difficult.
What should you use to clean your makeup brushes?
The best (and most thorough) method for cleaning your tools requires only a napkin or two and a bottle of Daily Brush Cleanser that you can pick up from Sephora.
