Cleaning your make up brushes


I've been teaching quite a bit of private make up lessons the past few months and its come to my attention that the average woman doesn't clean her make up brushes! How often should we clean our personal make up brushes? This is my formula...
After every use, I swipe my brushes onto a tissue paper to get the surface gunk out.
Once a month, I do a deep clean with a brush cleaner. I like Cinema Secrets brush cleaner b/c I can purchase a big bottle since I deep clean my professional brushes after every use.

How to Deep Clean your make up brushes:
1) Pour Cinema Secrets brush cleaner onto a cup
2) Swirl your brush around in it
3) Squeeze out excess liquid
4) Dry it out with Paper Towels
5) Reshape the brush
6) Store in flat brush roll

Note: if the brush is still wet, you can place it by the side of the sink with the bristles facing towards the sink. You don't want to place your brushes in a cup when its still drying because the liquid will seep into the handle and damage the brush.
