How To Clean Your Makeup Brushes On A Budget!

Hi everyone! 

So today, im going to show you how, and what i use to clean my makeup brushes. It is super simple and more affordable than brush cleanser, so lets get started.


What i use:

Baby shampoo,
Water.
I normally just use Johnson's baby shampoo, but i picked a different one this time,

Sainsburys little ones baby shampoo.



Paediatrician approves, Dermatologically tested, Hypo-allergenic, Paraben free and no tears.

So this is just a simple baby shampoo, which is really good and natural for the delicate hairs on the brush.


So first thing i do, is wet the makeup brushes i want to clean,

.




Then i put a blob of the baby shampoo in my hand(bigger the brush, bigger the blob.)





I then, one at a time, swirl the wet makeup brush on the shampoo in the palm of my hand, so it lathers up.




Then just wash is out of the brush gently with luke warm water, until all the product has gone.




Now, if i feel the brush still has abit of resadue or didnt quite wash all the product out, i will repeat it until the lather, and the brush is clear white, and sparkling clean!





Now lay them on a towel to dry, i like to put them so they are hanging of a side so the shape of the brush goes into its original shape when its dried. I tend to leave them over-night to dry, but some of my smaller or eye brushes will dry with in a couple of hours,so they are ready to go back into my brush holder.
