Washing brushes!

Hey guys! This week I'm going to do a post on washing make up brushes! After Halloween my brushes were extremely dirty do I decided to a general clean of my brushes and I'm going to tell you how to do this in 20/30 mins at home! 

You will need:
Baby shampoo/Dr Bronners Magic Soap 
Brushes 
Mine big bowl 
One small bowl
A dry cloth 
A towel 

Method: 

Step 1 • Fill both bowls with water halfway and then put a small amount of shampoo or soap in both. 
Step 2 • Wet the brush and then swirl it around the bigger bowl. 
Tip • This take sour the make up give it a deep cleanse! You will find that the bigger bowl will get dirty and you may need to refresh it every other brush. When refreshing always renew soap!
Step 3 • If you have an older brush or a really dirty one - for a deeper clean you put some soap in the palm of one hand and make a cup shape. As the brush if always wet at the beginning - when you take it around the inside of the Palm of your hand it takes out the make up more thoroughly but your hand can prune.
Tip • You can usually the make up reaidue on your hand with this method - ensuring you have got t all out.
Tip • You might want to repeat the wash process twice or thrice depending on how big/dirty your brushes are. 
Step 5 • Once you have finished washing the brush - rest it in the small bowl with water and soap so it can soak. 
Tip • This lets any make up deep in the brush settle meaning if you gently squeeze it later then more make up will come out. 
Step 6 • Once all of your brushes are in the sma bowl - take them out individually and gently wash them under cold water.
Tip • If the brushes are not good quality the dye in the hairs may bleed so don't be concerned if the make up looks dark.
Tip • Step 6 is your chance to see any if any extra make up remains in the brush. If so - repeat the process. 
Step7 • Dry the brushes gently with a towel and rest them on a cloh to dry. They will take overnight to dry.
Tip • Don't wash your brushes if your about to use them. 
Tip • Always wash the brushes gently becuas if you are harsh with them - the hairs will become misshapen or split! 

Hope today blog wash helpful! Love you guys xxx
