Keeping your makeup brushes clean is one of the most important part of any beauty routine! When you use your brushes, oil, dirt, makeup residue and bacteria can become trapped in the bristles.
I was my brushes once every fortnight due to the fact that I only use them at the weekends. If you use your brushes every day, I would recommend you wash your brushes at least once a week!
I have two brush sets, the Blank Canvas Cosmetics "My Face And Eye" brush set and the Real Techniques Core Collection.
"My Face And Eye" is available from www.blankcanvascosmetics.com for €74.99
The "Core Collection" is available from www.cloud10beauty.com for €24.99

To deep clean your makeup brushes, you will need:

*Two small towels
What To Do:
* Wet your brush under lukewarm water. Don't let the water get above the handle wet or the brush hairs could come lose as this is where the glue is!
* Fill the bowl with lukewarm water and add a bit of shampoo. Gently swirl the brush in the water - if needed, you can swirl the brush in the palm of your hand to work up a lather.
* Rinse the brush under running water once again. Continue to rinse the brush until all the shampoo is out of the brush and it feels completely clean (not slippery at all).
* Repeat steps two and three until the water runs completely clear from the brush.
* For added softness, use a small amount of conditioner and gently rub the brush into the conditioner on the palm of your hand. Rinse once more with lukewarm water.
* Use the towel to wipe your brushes clean, reshaping them as you go.
* Lay your brushes flat on a towel to dry.
