Asking a woman when was the last time she washed her makeup brushes is like asking her when she last washed her bras. First comes the furrowed brows as she tries to remember, then the look of shock, then of course, red-in-the-face embarrassment.
It’s not that we’re unclean creatures. We’re quite adamant when it comes to our weekly change of sheets and towels, and our 3-month toothbrush rotation. But for some reason, the cleanliness of our makeup brushes slip our minds morning after morning.
But it’s quite gross when you think about it. Using dirty makeup brushes is like applying dust, dead skin and who know’s what else to your face, and keeping it on there all day long. That’s gross, ladies. Ew.
And so, we’ve put together an easy step-by-step guide to show you the simplest way to clean your brushes without damaging them.
Not only will you no longer be applying dirt and grime to your face, but you’ll notice your makeup will go on much better, and you may even notice a clearer complexion due to a decrease in skin irritation.
