How to Clean a Makeup Brush

Step 1:

Hold the brush with the bristles pointing downward under warm running water. Gently squeeze the bristles to remove any excess makeup or water.

Step 2:

Apply a small amount of olive oil (for natural bristles) and mild soap onto your hand or directly onto the bristles after rinsing them with warm water to help remove excess makeup.

Step 3:

Massage the bristles in the soapy solution on your palm, allowing the water to flow through the bristles. Move the bristles in gentle circular motions.

Step 4:

Once the water running through the bristles is clear, turn off the water. Make sure not to submerge the bristles in water or get the ferrule wet.

Step 5:

Use a towel to gently squeeze out any remaining water from the brush. Let the bristles air dry in an open space.
