How to Clean Makeup Brushes & SPONGE?

Makeup brushes can haven lots of dirt and bacteria, but frequent washing of your makeup brushes can keep them – and your face – clean and healthy. Below are some tips and pointers on how to keep your makeup brushes clean.

1. Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water.

2. Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather.

3. Rinse the bristles thoroughly under running water. You will notice that the water leaving the brush is tinted from old makeup.

4. Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush.

5. Allow it to air-dry

Many professional makeup artists use a specialized cleaning solution for their brushes. These solutions are available at most beauty supply stores.
