QUICK CLEANING...

Saturday, November 27, 2010
I GOT A COMMENT THAT ASKED HOW TO I USE SO MANY DIFFERENT COLORS AND KEEP MY BRUSHES CLEAN IN BETWEEN WASHING THEM....

THAT WAS A EXCELLENT QUESTION..

SO I DECIDED TO DO THIS POST TO SHOW YOU GUYS..

I DO IT IN ONE OF TWO WAYS..I WILL SHOW YOU BOTH..



HERE IS THE FIRST METHOD I USE SOMETIMES. THIS IS A ALCOHOL BASED BASED BRUSH CLEANER...THAT ALONG WITH A COUPLE OF PAPER TOWELS WILL WORK FOR ANY OF YOUR BRUSHES..


THIS IS A DABBER BRUSH AND I USE IT FOR FOUNDATION SOMETIMES OR BRONZER..AND YOU CAN SEE ITS REALLY DIRTY...


THEN I JUST SPRAY SOME OF THE BRUSH CLEANER ON A SMALL SPOT ON THE PAPER TOWEL..


YOU CAN SEE ABOUT THE SIZE OF HOW MUCH I USE IN THIS PICTURE..


THEN GENTLY RUB THE BRUSH BACK AND FORTH..


THEN RUN THE BRUSH OVER A DRY SPOT OF THE PAPER TOWEL A FEW TIMES..


AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT...THE BRUSH IS CLEAN!!

THIS IS THE 2ND WAY I DO IT..

AFTER I CLEANED THESE BRUSHES I USED THEM AGAIN THE SAME DAY...BUT THIS TIME I CLEANED THEM DIFFERENTLY..AND ITS MORE EASIER FOR ANY OF YOU WHO DONT HAVE ACTUAL BRUSH CLEANER..



I TAKE THESE CHEAP FACIAL WIPES THAT I PICK UP FROM THE DOLLAR STORE...


TAKE ONE AND RUB THE BRUSH AROUND IT LIKE I DID THE FIRST TIME..


THEN ON THE DRY PAPER TOWEL


WITH BIG BRUSHES I LIKE TO USE 1 WIPE PER BRUSH..
SWIRL IT AROUND A FEW TIMES...

THEN BACK ON THE PAPER TOWEL..

IF ITS STILL DIRTY GO BACK TO THE WIPE, THEN BACK TO THE PAPER TOWEL AND SO FORTH...


AND AS YOU CAN SEE THIS BRUSH IS SUPER CLEAN..


HARDLY NOTHING ON IT AT THIS POINT..


IN ABOUT 3 MINUTES I GOT 3 BRUSHES CLEANED!

THIS IS HOW FAST THIS METHOD IS..

I STILL LIKE TO DEEP CLEAN MY BRUSHES ABOUT ONCE A MONTH BUT THIS METHOD WORKS REALLY WELL ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS...

HOPE THIS ANSWERS THE QUESTION FOR YOU!

  1. Thanks for the fast ideas on cleaning brushes. I don't do it as nearly often as I should because it takes too long! But using the wipe method I'll probably do it daily.

  2. It works really good..really fast..Just make sure they are facial wipes and not baby wipes!!! I mean they might work but I dont know if they would be good for the face! lol.. I have to do it almost daily due to the bright colors I tend to use! I dont know why I didnt share it sooner with you guys but hopefully it will make it easier!
