We know how important it is to have quality makeup brushes, but it is equally important to keep them clean and disinfected so they will last for years. There are a wide variety of brush cleaners on the market and a variety of tutorials to help you get the job done right.
But how to clean your makeup brushes easily and quickly at home? We present you a very easy way to clean your makeup brushes with baby shampoo and water!
.
This tutorial is quick and easy but very effective. First, rinse brush bristles with warm water. Make sure to keep the bristles pointed downward, preventing water from getting inside the brush handle. If water gets in there, it can loosen the glue that holds the filaments together!

.
Following, apply a small amount of baby shampoo to the palm of your hand. A small amount is sufficient.
.
.
Now, shake the bristles of the brush in the baby shampoo until a rich lather is created.
.
.
When you notice that you have removed the dirt and oil, rinse the brush head again with lukewarm water.
.
.
Squeeze excess water from the brush with your thumb and index finger. If the released water is still dirty, repeat the cleaning process again. Once the water runs clear, you have done a good job and can move on to the next stage.
.
.
Use a cloth or paper towel to dry the bristles.
.
.
Don’t forget to clean your other makeup tools, like your eyelash curler! Just a little baby shampoo, clean with your fingers, and then rinse with water.
.
.
Put your brushes on a towel and let them dry overnight.
