People always blame fallout on the shadow, but the brush has a lot to do with it. If you want to get technical about it, too, you don’t really want to “condition” brushes with conditioner either, or they’ll be so smooth they won’t pick up shadow well at all, and will cause a lot of fallout. NONE of them would agree with this recipe or method of cleaning brushes. My boss is a celebrity makeup artist who has worked on any top A-List celeb you can name, (Taylor Swift, Rhianna, Britney Spears, Naomi Campbell, to name a few) and I am friends with about a dozen celebrity makeup artists who do makeup on A-Listers as well.
I actually am a professional makeup artist in NYC and know dozens of makeup artists who would agree with Taylor. You sound like a teenager, actually (and judging from your defensive attitude you probably know the woman who wrote this article). Frankly, all the celeb and TV/Film makeup artists I know are very intelligent.
Furthermore, looking at your grammar I can’t believe you’re any kind of professional, much less a pro makeup artist. Okay first of all, why would anyone want brush cleaning advice from someone who admits to using brushes for a year and never cleaning them? (sorry Brigette, but that’s just gross on so many levels) And, Breanne….give it up.
You will be stunned by how well this works!Ĭlean makeup brushes are a huge step towards achieving healthy skin, so try to adding quick cleaning into your weekly schedule! I know I’ll be doing so. If your brushes are extra dirty (like mine), let them soak in the mixture for a half hour or more before brushing onto a towel. To clean, spray the bristles of your makeup brush and then brush onto a clean, dry paper towel to remove all residue. Just mix all ingredients together and pour into your spray bottle! ½ tablespoon hair shampoo (I used Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo)ġ tablespoon leave-in conditioner spray (I used an organic conditioner from Whole Foods) Bronner’s, which you can get at most drugstores and health food stores) This cleaner is so incredibly easy to make and it’s made from things that most of us already have lying around the house! I am completely amazed by how well this stuff works.
This mixture will clean your brushes like no other and it’ll leave them feeling softer than ever. I recently came across this recipe for a homemade makeup brush cleaner and I knew I had to try it.
The brushes I use now I’ve had for at least a year – and I wear makeup every day, so I can only imagine what terrible things these bacteria-filled brushes are doing to my precious skin!
