Pinterest never lets me down.
My make-up brushes were gross. Really super gross. So I went into that cute little search bar in Pinterest and I searched for "make-up brush cleaner" and I found a ton of options. I can't link to the original pin I used because the link took me no-where. *insert annoyed face here* but I found one similar here. I saw it. I pinned it. I did it.
This is fool, fool, fool proof!
The Problem:
The Solution:
Mix up
-1 Cup of warm water
-1 Tbsp of vinegar
-1 Tbsp of dish soap
I used the swirl and tap method.
Swirl the brush around in the solution, tap the excess off on the side, rinse, re-shape, let dry overnight.
I was blown away by how well this worked. Here's a better look..
The brush on the left was before the swirl and tap (can i make that a catch phrase?). In the past I had rinsed that brush off before to try and get that blackness off. Never came off. The picture on the right? After the swirl and tap. Do you see blackness? No, you don't. Want to know why? Because this stuff works!
I sound like an infomercial.
But look at these pretty, clean brushes!
Here's a nice little before and after!
Now YOU..
Yea, YOU.. Go check out Steph and Katie. And while you're visiting Katie, wish her a Happy Birthday!

ReplyDeletelove all your brushes, nice post ;) xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a much better plan than buying expensive brush cleaner! Did the vinegar make your brushes smell at all?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Swirl and tap reminds me of bend and snap from Legally Blonde haha.
ReplyDeleteDid you make your brushes swirl on the bottom of the jar you used? Or did you swirl with them just chilling in the liquid?
