Step 1: Gather all of your brushes that need to be cleaned. Here’s an easy step-by-step guide as to how you can easily and efficiently clean your dirty makeup brushes.
Now, you may be wondering, “um, why would I ever put dish soap and olive oil onto a makeup brush?“ Well, the dish soap cleans and disinfects your brush, while the olive oil seals in moisture and smooths the brush hair! (Think of it as a shampoo/conditioner mix!) It may sound a bit odd to mix the two together but seriously, don’t worry – your brushes will be just as clean and silky as they were when you first purchased them!
Now, let me start by debunking a myth: Most people think that you need to buy an expensive brush cleanser from Mac, Sephora, or Ulta to get your brushes really clean, but honestly, if you have olive oil and dish soap, you can clean your brushes just as well. So, for this week’s post, I decided it would be both necessary (for me) and useful (hopefully, for you) to share an inexpensive yet effective way to easily clean your makeup brushes! After all of the parties and get-togethers over winter break, I’ve arrived back at school with a bunch of dirty makeup brushes.
