DIY: Clean Your Makeup Brushes!

August 6, 2013

Makeup brush cleanser can be expensive. Here’s a recipe to make your own at home with ingredients you probably already have!

1. You’ll need: shampoo, dish washing soap, rubbing alcohol, a spoon and something to mix it all in, and a bottle or spray bottle to put it in.
2. Add 1/4 cup of shampoo to your container/mixing jar.
3. Add 1/4 cup of dish soap.
4. Pour in 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol.
5. Stir it thoroughly!
6. Pour the finished product into your bottle or spray bottle.
7. To use your new mixture, just spray it onto your brush.
8. Lather it up in your hand with some water.
9. Then rinse and squeeze out the excess water.
10. Lay flat to dry, an edge is best. Don’t use a towel underneath and never dry them standing up… you don’t want bacteria and mold to collect on your brushes while they dry! 
    

Voila!
