When was the last time you cleaned your blush makeup brush?
Personally, I couldn’t remember and it was a good thing I stumbled on a pin for a DIY makeup brush cleaning concoction. It disinfects, dissolves grease/makeup, leaves no film and is inexpensive. Your brush may have a slight vinegar smell after this process, but hey, it’s clean and no longer home to grossness.
First, you swirl your brush around to remove particles. Oh, hey, leftover makeup particles.
Then you see proof that your brush was dirty. Told ‘ya!
Cheers to a clean makeup brush!

Thanks for posting this! I’ve also cleaned my makeup brushes with olive oil and with baby shampoo, both of which did a great job of cleaning my brushes, and didn’t leave any unpleasant smell 🙂
I’ll have to try those! Thanks for the tips 🙂
