How to Clean Makeup Brushes When You're Lazy AFThere's the professional way to clean your makeup brushes...and then there's the real girl way. Here's how to effectively degunk and de-grime your brushes when you don't want to spend hours doing so (and really, who does?). |
Be Careful About How You Dry Drying is an important step when cleaning your makeup brushes, but it doesn't have to be crazy complicated. Blot the bristles with a towel, then lay each brush over the edge of the counter to dry overnight. That last part is key: Placing them flat on the counter can squish the bristles and interfere with air circulation, while standing them up in a cup can cause water to drip down into the ferrule and handle. In a pinch, Patinkin says blow-drying is OK, but keep the air flow low and the temperature down, since you don't want to dry out the bristles or blow out the shape of the brush.
