The Brush Up

Alright Ladies, we want you to think long and hard about the following question: How long has it been since you last cleaned your makeup brushes? Whether it was a day ago, a week ago, or (uh-oh) a month or more ago, we have a step-by-step tutorial on how to take your brushes from filthy to flawless!

Here we go!

You will need 6 things:

1. Your brushes (our FAVORITE brushes can be found here)

2. A glass plate

3. Paper towels

4. Dish Soap

5. Olive Oil

6. Water

1. On the plate, combine equal parts soap and olive oil
2. Add about a teaspoon of room temperature water to the mix as well

3. Take your brush and swirl it around throughout all of the ingredients. As the makeup releases from the bristles, the mixture will become cloudy. (Don't worry, you can clean many brushes even when it is cloudy)

4. After all of the makeup is out of the brush and on the plate, run the brush under warm water and rub the bristles until the water runs clear.

 5. Finally, lay the brushes on paper towels and allow them to dry for a couple of hours. Once they have completely dried, you are ready to use them again!

6. Remember, your brushes need to be cleaned every 2-4 weeks. It will improve the health of your skin and increase the life of your makeup and your brushes if you follow this schedule!

We tried this on all of our brushes and we were thrilled with the results! If you decided to try this Style Solution and found it to be successful, let us know on Facebook, twitter, or in the comments section below!

Stay Flawless and Fabulous!
Love,
Lyndsey and Jenn
