I'm sure I don't clean them nearly as often as I should. I usually clean at least a couple whenever I spot a thread about brush cleaning, but I feel like I don't use so many of them enough to warrant a regular cleaning.
I probably end up cleaning mine once a month, but it should be more. I use Suave Clarifying Shampoo to clean and sometimes just antibacterial soap. I've noticed with the Suave I only have to wash once, it removes the makeup really well
i wash my brushes with shampoo under warm running water after 2 applications and let dry laying flat on a towel (what a mac sa taught me a few years ago)
What is the best way to clean your make-up brushes. Just water doesn't seem to be enough to clean everything. I've tried it but I'm sure that there are still small make-up particles accumulating...yuck~!
I wash mine once a week with a mild shampoo in the bathroom sink, rinse ,and lay flat to dry. In between I use a spray brush cleaner from Lise Watier to clean them between uses or when I use different makeup colors.
I saw Sonia Kashuk on the Rachael Ray show this week and she said she cleans her brushes with whatever soap is at her kitchen sink and then lays them flat to dry.
Face brushes at least every two days with MAC brush cleaner. Eye and lip brushes daily with MAC brush cleaner-depending if I plan not to use the same colors the next day.
i try to do it every night if i've used the brush(es).
i use baby shampoo for deep cleaning and brush-off for in between (to get rid of the colors if i wanna use the brush for another right then and there).
