How To: Clean Makeup Brushes

I recently noticed that my makeup brushes were looking a bit drab. And considering I use them everyday, they were overdue for a cleaning. Being once a  makeup artist I know that all you need is a gentle shampoo and a little time to let them soak and dry. I also want to mention how important it is to clean them every 6 weeks since they can collect bacteria and lose their ability to blend. I sometimes don't follow this simple rule always, but After washing mine I'm even more motivated to do it more often—you'll be surprised how much makeup they hang on to and how much softer they are afterwards. 

I used a mason jar to soak the brushes for 1-2 minutes in lukewarm water with a dash of  Pureology's hydrating shampoo.  Then I used the sink to rinse and dab them clean. Tip: For larger brushes drop a pea size amount into the palm of your hand and rub in a circular motion with the brush so that it suds up. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

After a quick soak and rinse, wipe the brushes on a towel and shape them so the hairs dry properly without any strays. 

Tip: display your brushes in a vase or jar face up so they avoid collecting dust and dirt in a drawer or makeup bag.

Ever Blossoming

It never feels like it's officially spring to me until it's April... one way is my allergies (blah) and another is having the itch to to switch over my closet from warm winter wear to flowy and light spring/summer clothes and swimsuits. Hope all of you are enjoying great spring weather. If not, maybe these gorgeous spring-inspired images will get you in the mood for spring and prettiness. 

Hope your having lovely week so far!
