DIY Brush Cleaner | My Favorite Brushes

I don't know about you but I hate cleaning my makeup brushes and I do not do it as much as I should. But it just takes so long and to be honest it is no fun. So I found a good solution on Pinterest on how to make it a little more fun because you get to mix things (anything helps).

For this mixture, all you need is dish soap or baby wash and olive oil. The olive oil protects the brushes and doesn't strip the nutrients from the hairs. I just dipped my brushes in the dish soap and then the olive oil, I don't think it matters which you do first as long as you get both substances on the brush together.

I just used dawn dish soap and the extra virgin olive oil that we had in the kitchen. I like using this brush cleaner because it uses household items that we always have in the house.

After the mixture is put on the brush I just rubbed the brushes on a plate until the plate was covered in makeup then rinsed and repeated until the water ran clear.

Then I just laid the brushes out to dry and they will be ready to use in the morning. I really like this mixture but I did find a ton of others on Pinterest so I think I may do a different mixture the next time I clean my brushes.

These are my favorite brushes at the moment. I really like the elf brushes because they are so cheap but actually work really well. The pink and the blue brushes are from my ipsy bag subscription. The small angled eye brush frome Luxie I use to do my eyebrows with the elf eyebrow kit and it works so well.  The blue brush is also by luxie it is the tapered highlighting brush and I mainly use this brush for highlighter and sometimes blush.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
