How to Clean Makeup Brushes

Learning how to clean makeup brushes can save you a lot of money.

If you take care of them properly, they will last you a very long time. We're talking years so it's well worth the effort.

And remember to clean them once a week, especially if you use them every day!

Now for the good news, all you need is shampoo and conditioner!


How to Clean Makeup Brushes.


  • Put some shampoo (not too much) in a glass with little water. Insert your makeup brushes, one at a time, and gently press down the tip on the brush in the shampooed water. Do not wet the handle of the brush. You'll see the dirt come off immediately.  Change water and shampoo if it gets too dirty and you still have brushes to clean.
  • When done, rinse the glass. Put some conditioner in the glass with little water. Again, insert your brushes and repeat the process. Rinse your brushes in water, just like you would your hair.
  • Finally, set your brushed down to dry on a towel, hairs down. Do not leave them to dry standing up or water will trickle down into the handles.


In the morning, these makeup accessories will be ready for use once more.
