How do you clean make up brushes for eyeshadow, blush, etc? Thanks!?

Have to work and wear more makeup....just want to be sure everything is clean!How do you clean make up brushes for eyeshadow, blush, etc? Thanks!?
I place all of my makeup brushes in a container with antibacterial soap swish them and change the water a few times, once they are clean, I rinse them thoroughly and place them on a clean paper towel on a rack and air dry them. I try to do this every other day.How do you clean make up brushes for eyeshadow, blush, etc? Thanks!?
for a cheap and effective way to clean make up brushes, i use Johnson's head-to-toe baby wash. its very mild and it smells clean and it does clean nicely. its so mild that it will not ruin your brushes.
If you have high quality brushes, you may want to use a brush cleanser that is specifically designed to clean, disinfect and condition your brushes.





Personally, I use MAC brush cleanser even though all of my brushes aren't MAC brushes.
id say use water and but just dip it..take out get the excess of...dip it again and take teh excess water off and keep doing it until the excess water is clean

they forgot to mention you should reshape the bristles before leaving them to dry, though.
Q tips are really perfect for putting on eyeshadow , then you can just throw them away
You can just wipe them off or kind of brush them on a paper towel, or not clean them at all if your the only one using them. Make up remover liquid works too. Good luck
I gently wash in warm (not hot) water my brushes with diluted shampoo


I rinse them very well, but again gently


blot in a towel


reshape them and lay in the sun on the windowsill to air day
You can use a drop of antibacterial soap in a sink with warm water, swish, and rinse well.
I use the liquid soap that I use to wash my hands. Wash well, and then use a little hair conditioner to keep the bristles soft and untangled. Squeeze dry with a towel, and then lay out to dry overnight.
i use johnsons baby soap with water to wash them.
Use Shampoo in the sink swish wash and dry overnight. Or I also put in the dishwasher in utensil area. Only advise that for brushes not sponge like things.
Johnson Baby Shampoo
I suggest getting an unscented bar of soap (Ex Ivory) and washing with that under warm water. Rinse well. You can pat them dry, but I recommend standing them up in a glass or something so that they keep their shape when they dry. If you want to dissinfect them, put rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle and spray them, then rub them down on paper towel. If you don't have time to wait for your brushes to dry from washing them, just do the second thing I mentioned with the rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol dries fast, dissinfects, and also gets the makeup out of the brushes.
There is usually cleaner sold at little shops or salons that work great! Mine came is a quirt bottle and then just wipe off with bathroom tissue.

Can i apply blush with a kabuki?which brush is better?

it really depends on your facial structure, and the shape you are trying to achieve. i find that if you have small cheeks, and they are barely noticeable when you smile, kabuki brushes are just the thing you need. i have cheeks like that, and putting on a little blush on the apples of my cheeks makes them really stand out. i also blend it upwards too, because it looks wierd if you dont. but if you have bigger cheeks, like vanessa hudjens, then use a normal blush brush. you probably dont need blush, unless you need to add more color to your face.Can i apply blush with a kabuki?which brush is better?
kabuki brushes are not only cute, but they also dispense and spread the right amount of blush, foundation, ect. with flawless, natural, even coverage, i reccomend the kabuki brushes by M.A.C cosmetics, they have great cosmetics over all, and their kabuki brush is excellent. hope this helps=]Can i apply blush with a kabuki?which brush is better?

this is the blusher brush of the year!! I just bought it recently and its amazing!!! Kabuki brush is more more concentrated colour!! best used for foundation or powders, so I'd say invest in a brush which is for the purpose of a blush!! u can can softer ones or angles ones for different looks! Maybe when u go buy one, ask in the store and they will be able to tell you for what look you are trying to pull off hun :)
This is just my opinion, but i find kabuki brushes are too wide and big.





I would go with just a regular blush brush.

Which MAC brush is best for blushes? And which brush is best for the application of pigment eye shadows?

I am buying some new MAC brushes to go along with my MAC pigment eye shadows and blushes and want to know the best choices!!!!!Which MAC brush is best for blushes? And which brush is best for the application of pigment eye shadows?
I would use either the 182 or the 150 for blush, the 182 for blending blushes or if you prefer a fuller blush and the 150 for a more contoured finish.





For pigments i like to use a tapered brush, a 222,224 or 225 would be best.





Good luck and i hope this helps.Which MAC brush is best for blushes? And which brush is best for the application of pigment eye shadows?
i like to use the 187 brush to apply blush, it distributes the color really easily and it blend really well. I love that brush, I use it for applying my foundation(it gives a nice airbrushed look) my blush, my highlight colour, and sometimes even for contouring. it's definitely worth buying because it's so multifunctional and it works really well.





for applying pigments I like to use the 239 brush, as it places the colour really nicely. my favorite brush for blending pigments is the 222





hope this helps!
187 or 188 for blush definitely. For pigments i'd go with a 252 or 242. The 219 is also a must have!!!
BOBBI BROWN brushes, are best sellers, and award winners, they are so popular.

Can this brush also be used for blush?

http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh鈥?/a>Can this brush also be used for blush?
Yes it can, it will help blend everything, so you don't have any harsh lines. Another great thing about this brush is you can use it to apply foundation. It helps buff it in for full coverage. Try it.Can this brush also be used for blush?
it could be but a smaller brush that fits on your apple of your cheek would be best. a kabuki is usually used to buff out powder on your face or to blend in everything afterwords. just remember that if you use this for blush you prob don't want to use it anything else because and remaining pinkish pigment would be spread all over your face. kabukis also might pick up a little bit more product than you want for a blush
Yes, that's exactly what it's for!





You should have a separate brush for each make up item though, e.g. one blusher brush, one powder brush, one bronzer brush.
of course. its always good to have a big brush to use for blush. just sweep the blush on your cheeks while smiling.


have fun
