You can use a brush cleaner or regular dish soap to clean your brushes.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the steps to follow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Soak the brush under running water. Always have the brush facing down so the water does not get in the ferrule (the metal part of the brush)<\/li>\n<li>Add some brush cleaner, dish soap or shampoo to create lather. Gently massage the brush with your fingers or swirl on a ribbed silicone brush cleaner pad (you can use a silicone trivet or silicone pot holders as well)<\/li>\n<li>Rinse under running water until water runs clear<\/li>\n<li>A second cleanse may be needed for cream products like foundation, concealer, lipstick etc.<\/li>\n<li>Shake out excess water from the brush in the sink<\/li>\n<li>Squeeze out excess water in an absorbent towel<\/li>\n<li>Reshape the brush and lay flat on a dry towel<\/li>\n<li>When the brush is dry (about 12 hours after washing it) fluff the brushes and they are ready to use again<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can store them in a cup or in a makeup bag.\u00a0 For a quick clean between uses, you can spray a little brush cleaner on a paper towel and sweep the brush on the paper towel to dissolve the makeup.\u00a0 Try to clean your brushes once a week. If you\u2019re prone to acne or breakouts, clean after each use.<\/p>\n<p>For more make up tips and inspiration, follow Derek on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/derek.selby\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@derek.selby<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1558681\" src=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/2018\/08\/makeup-int.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"869\" height=\"585\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">Makeup brushes are an investment, but one that is worth it to get professional results.
