How to Clean Makeup Brushes Perfectly (under $5)

hey guys welcome back to my channel today I'm going to be showing you how to wash your makeup brushes at home I've been trying a lot of different methods and I found this one on Pinterest it works so well and it's so cheap I really hate washing my brushes most of the time but this has made it really simple and easy and like I said I found it on Pinterest so of course you know it's good so I hope you guys like this method it works really well and let's get cleaning that was cheesy first thing you're going to need is a plate and some soap you can just use whatever dishwashing detergent you already have it doesn't have to be any special brand we're also going to be using olive oil and those are the only two ingredients you don't have to be as dramatic to like measure this out but make sure that it's like half and half and then take your brush and swirl it in the middle of that mixture you want to make sure that you're getting a little bit of oil and a little bit of dishwashing detergent evenly onto the brush if you ever have problems getting the makeup out of your brushes try using the ridges of your fingers they're really bumpy and it really helps get into the brush and remove the product but it also is really gentle so it's a really good way to remove all of the makeup I'm gonna disinfect and clean all of the brushes at one time but then I'm going to like Vince them all at another time apparently there's only two times in this world and that is why I'm going to lay them flat just to kind of sit there in their own dirt I'm kidding it's going to help well I feel like it helps deep clean them a little bit better on early shirt that's true but I like to do it all in two steps confession here is kind of gross but it's not really that gross I was trying but when I used to wash my brushes with other methods I could never get my foundation brushes like fully clean the middle of them would always have just a little bit of foundation it was so annoying but it was also kind of gross because like I could never get it out but with this method I can get it out so I'm happy that that flat top foundation brush can get really clean and of course my stippling brushes get nice and clean and what I really like about this method is that all my goat hair brushes are natural fiber ones get back to their original color now I've cleaned all my brushes it's time to Vince them when I first started doing laundry my mom told me that hot water will set the stain so if there's like anything in your clothing like a spill or any kind of thing that you don't want make sure that you don't use hot water you use cold water because cold water will lift a stain and hot water will just set it in so this goes the same when you're washing makeup brushes I kind of put two and two together and it really helped to keep my goat hair brushes and my natural ones really white and clean so keep in mind that if you have really pigmented blush you want to make sure that you're using cold water I would recommend using cold water anyways it can get a little chilly but it's totally worth it you can totally get away with washing your eye brushes like twice a month but I definitely recommend washing your face brushes like three times a week that might seem excessive but even if it just means your foundation brush getting all of that makeup out of your brushes will literally save your skin if you've ever experienced breakouts between your makeup brushes and your pillowcase those are two things that are completely overlooked and it could really be causing a lot of stress for your skin so I definitely recommend paying a lot of attention to your foundation brush and things that you use to apply concealer but other than that I would just repeat this routine at least twice a month now that all my brushes are clean I'm just going to lay them on a clean towel to dry this usually takes maybe overnight so I like to do this in the evening this is a really simple thing to do and it doesn't dry out your hands which is kind of a plus for me um because my hands get dry so I hope you guys like this tutorial give it a thumbs up if you want to see more let me know what kind of video you want to see next week and I'll see you later bye
