I’m Judge Makeup Tips and I’m about to bust you for believing one of the biggest beauty myth’s out; you now have the right to cleanse your brushes.
"Huh? You’re actually meant to wash your brushes?…" she said. When I hear of makeup brushes not being washed I cringe a little. Your makeup brushes are full of lots of bacteria, and not just from your makeup; the dirt from your surroundings plus the oil and dead flakes from your skin, not cleaning them is acne on a brush! Makeup (especially creamy and liquid formulas) breed bacteria so letting them sit on your makeup brush and re-using it everyday is an obvious no-go zone. You wouldn’t go without washing your hair or your clothes so why would you not wash your makeup brushes; especially since they are touching your face daily!
I recommend washing your brushes after every use (or if you are super lazy spot clean them with some rubbing alcohol) my favourite brush cleaner is the Masters Brush Cleaner, it gets out every bit of gunk from my brushes but still leaves them super soft. I am not a fan of using shampoo (it contains too many silicons), dish-washing detergent (way too harsh) or baby shampoo (the mineral oil coats brushes with a yucky film)
BEAUTY MYTH: BUSTED! You should be cleansing your brushes after every use, case dismissed.
