Queen of Clean: How to clean makeup brushes

The Queen of Clean is here to show us how to safely clean those makeup brushes!

What you need:

• Bar soap (Castile or Zote soap)
• Lukewarm water
• Paper towel
• Cool water
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Liquid dish soap
• Clean sponge
• Olive Oil

What to do:

1. Massage your dirty brush against a sturdy bar of natural soap
2. Rinse with lukewarm water and wipe your brush against a paper towel, but be careful not to get the brush barrel wet, as it will loosen the bristles and cause them to fall out
3. Give your brushes a final swish in 1 cup of cool water and 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide

Or:

1. Pour some liquid dish soap on top of the sponge and then rub your brush against the surface
2. Rinse with lukewarm water, wipe with a towel to remove any leftover debris and lay your brushes flat to dry.

Also try this:

Olive oil is a great way to not only clean smaller brushes, but also to condition the bristles. In this case, it’s okay to submerge your makeup brushes into the oil. Rub them against a sponge and you’ll start to see all those caked-up pieces of product come off.

Linda says:

To store makeup brushes and other cosmetics, fabric or hard sided cases for glasses work well for travel and for purse storage. It also keeps your brushes clean and bristles straight.
