You should be washing your brushes after every use, but who has the time for that!! Cleaning once a week is a good way to keep them in top shape and working best! Washing brushes is very simple!
1) Wet the bristles of your brush (don't get water in the part of the brush that connects the bristle to the brush. Over time this will end up loosing the glue and your brushes will come apart)
2) Using a mild shampoo, cup your hand with a small amount of shampoo and spin your brush until all the make up is out. It may take a couple of times to get everything out depending on how often you wash and what color you have used.
3) Using warm water rinse off the brush and reshape the bristles.
4) Lay your brushes flat. Its best to let your brushes lay over the sink so that the water can drain down.
5) Once dry, re-fluff and use!
Never store your wet brushes with the handle down!!!
HOW TO STORE YOUR MAKE UP BRUSHES:
There are many ways to store your brushes. The most common is a make up bag or a brush case. Both are perfectly fine. If you are worried about your bristles getting out of shape, than a brush case is best due to the individual slots. A creative way to carry your brushes and keep them for getting messed up, is use an eye glass carrying case!! Another way to keep them at home, use a cute glass container with glass pebbles and stick in your brushes (handles down :))
