How I Clean My Brushes / DIY Makeup Brush Cleaner

Hey gorg ones!
So I'm just going to slide back into your lives like nothing happened :D
I mean!
Nothing happened really. Yes! Yes!
I loves you too!

Meanwhile. your girl been out here LEARNING!
Y'all gon' learn alot!

Right on!

I know I need my brushes to be squeaky clean at all times. I dont even know how many brushes I have and I bet Y'all dont expect me to be on that expensive brush cleaner deal (aint nobody got money to waste on those 50ml-costing-thousands-of-naira fluids).

I'm just saying! LOL!

Ok, on a serious note, these DIY cleaners do as much as those brush shampoos and sometimes even better.
Being a professional makeup artist, I get to clean my brushes pretty often. Here's how I do it...

From left: Alcohol, Apple cider vinegar, Morning fresh anti-bacterial, Extra virgin olive oil

Being the queen of depotting, I sorta got rid of the actual containers of the Alcohol and Olive oil.
               (They say I hoard, reducing my storage size makes me feel I don't hoard so much).

Alcohol: This kills everything lol! I only use this when I know my brushes have graced some not so healthy skin.

Apple cider Vinegar: Hmmm lets just say this helps take out all that grime faster. We can call this pretty mild bleach.

Morning Fresh: The ultimate grime cutter.

EVOO: Lets say this conditions your brushes after getting stripped, you don't want your expensive brushes feeling like rubber hair lol!

These are just some of the brushes I'm cleaning.

Step 1

 Get a bowl,

So I did some not so healthy skin the other day, reason I'm spraying alcohol. (OPTIONAL)

Step 2

Pour 3 parts morning fresh to one part olive oil

Step 3

Swirl your brushes one by one and repeat step if necessary.

See all that grime! Its not even a foundation brush oh! lol!

Step 4

Rinse out all that gooey stuff!

Dilute the Vinegar with water and soak your brushes for a few minutes

 Ces finis!

So I was going to put up a photo of how they looked when the got dry. Someone got a call and put these babies to work again. Lol!

We pray for dirty overworked brushes right?

Hope this post saves someone a little change,

Love,

Bemi.
