Do you like cleaning your makeup brushes? And when I say cleaning, I do mean really cleaning them, not just wiping them with wet wipes. I think if you only have a few brushes, then this wouldn't be too taxing. But if you are a makeup artist or simply one who loves collecting brushes, then I am sure you dread the day when you have to give your brushes a bath.
I usually wash my brushes using my trusted baby milk wash from J&J but for deep cleaning, I also use an antibacterial dishwashing liquid. I pour some dishwashing liquid in one bowl and the milk wash in another. Then I dip each of the brushes first in the one with the dishwashing liquid. This basically helps loosen the dirt from the brush most especially from those that I use with creams/liquids. Then I swirl each brush against the palm of my hand then rinse it with water. And because I still hate the fact that I am using something on my face that I've washed with dishwashing liquid, I then dip each of the brushes in the bowl with the baby milk wash, swirl it against the palm of my hand while under running water. And that's it, that's how I clean my brushes. And yes, I hate it. (laughs) It just takes a lot of time!
But after getting my hands on the Clean Brush Shampoo (thanks Digitaltraincase!) I now actually look forward to cleaning my brushes!
