I am obsessed with make-up. I watch make-up tutorials every single day and I also try to pick up some tips through Pinterest. Having bad skin since 16 has made me more conscious as to what I put on it and what to keep off it. I have noticed that the cleaner my brushes are, the clearer my face is. After finding a pin on Pinterest about cleaning your make-up brushes with vinegar and water, I was automatically interested. I like to keep things simple and usually spend way too much money on brush soap.
I found this idea here:
You will need:
- 1 tablespoon of distilled white vinegar
- dirty make-up brushes
- 1 bowl
- hot water
- cold water
First, start by pouring in 1 tablespoon of distilled white vinegar.
After that, pour in some hot water, only enough to cover the brushes. I used a kettle to warm up the water, but stopped it before it boiled. You could do whatever you'd like, as long as the water is hot.
Let the brushes sit in the hot water and vinegar for 20 minutes.
After they have soaked for 20 minutes, use cold water to rinse them off.
Take out as much water as you can form the brushes and just lay them out to dry. I used the empty bowl to do this so the brushes would have room to dry without touching each other.
They need about a whole day to dry, but after they are done, they look brand new!
The only down side to doing this is that the brushes kind of stink up like vinegar. Not the most delightful smell to have around as you apply your make-up. It definitely does not leave your skin smelling like vinegar, but still, this could bother some people. I hope you all enjoyed this way of cleaning your make-up brushes and consider using it!
