1.The use of makeup brushes is different, and the cleaning methods are also different

(1)Soaking and cleaning: It is suitable for dry powder brushes with less cosmetic residue, such as loose powder brushes, blush brushes, etc.

(2)Friction washing: used for cream brush, such as foundation brushes, concealer brushes, eyeliner brushes, lip brushes, etc.; or dry powder brushes with more cosmetic residues, such as eye shadow brushes.
(3) Dry cleaning: For dry powder brushes with less cosmetic residue, and animal hair brushes that are not washable. In addition to protecting the brush, it is also very suitable for lazy people who don't want to wash the brush~

2.The specific operation of soaking and washing

(1) Find a container and mix clean water and professional detergent at a ratio of 1:1. If the product has special mixing ratio requirements, follow the instructions, and then stir evenly by hand.

(2) Immerse the brush head part in the water and turn it around, you can see that the clear water has become turbid.

(3) Pour out the muddy water, put clean water in the container, put the brush head in and continue to circle.

(4) Repeat several times until the water is no longer cloudy, then rinse under the tap and dry with paper towels.

ps:

When rinsing, don't wash against the hair.

If the brush handle is made of wood, dry it quickly after soaking in water to avoid cracking after drying.

The connection between the bristles and the brush rod is soaked in water, which can easily lead to hair loss. Although it is inevitable to soak in water when rinsing, try not to soak the entire brush in water

3. The specific operation of friction washing

(1) Soak the brush head with clean water first, then pour the professional detergent on the palm/scrubbing pad.

(2) Use the brush head on the palm/scrubbing pad to circularize repeatedly until foam is produced, then rinse off with clean water.

(3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the makeup brush is clean

(4) Finally rinse well under the tap and dry with paper towels.

ps:

Choose professional dishwashing liquid instead of silicon-containing facial cleanser or shampoo, otherwise it will affect the fluffiness and powder holding capacity of the bristles.

To check for detergent residue, you can use a brush to draw circles repeatedly on the palm of your hand. If there is no bubbling and slippery feeling, it means it has been cleaned.
Fourth, the specific operation of dry cleaning

4. Cleaning sponge dry cleaning method:

Take a freshly used makeup brush and wipe clockwise on the black sponge part a few times.

When the sponge gets dirty, take it out and wash it.

The absorbent sponge in the middle is used to wet the eye shadow brush, which is convenient for applying eye makeup, and it is more suitable for eye shadows that are not colored.

5. Drying

(1) After the brush is washed, dry it with a paper towel or towel, including the brush rod.

(2) If there is a brush net, it is best to set the brush head on the brush net to shape it. If you feel that it is drying slowly, you can brush the net when it is half dry.

(3) Turn the brush upside down, insert it into the drying rack, and put it in a ventilated place to dry in the shade. If you don't have a drying rack, lay flat to dry, or secure with a drying rack and turn the brush upside down to dry.

(4) Put it in the sun or use a hair dryer to fry the brush head.

6. Other matters needing attention

(1) The newly purchased brush must be cleaned before use.

(2) When cleaning the makeup brush, the water temperature should not be too high, so as not to melt the glue at the connection between the bristles and the brush handle, causing hair loss. In fact, it can be washed with cold water .

(3) Do not soak makeup brushes in alcohol, as high concentrations of alcohol can cause permanent damage to the bristles.

(4) If you make up every day, brushes with a lot of makeup residue, such as cream brushes, individual dry powder brushes, etc., should be cleaned once a week to keep them clean. Other dry powder brushes with less makeup residue should be dry-cleaned more often, and washed with water once a month.

(5) Makeup brushes made of animal hair are not washable. It is recommended to clean it once a month.

(6) If the cream brush (foundation brush, concealer brush, etc.) you bought happens to be made of animal hair, it is recommended that you wash it with water once a week. After all, the cleanliness of the bristles is far more important than the life of the bristles.
