Clean your makeup toolsatleast

once a week to prevent product

residue clogging your brushes.

makeup sets and dries the bristles,

making them more prone to

breakage.

MAKEUPBRUSHES

1 The most common brushes used

are foundation/stippling, powder

and eyeshadow.

4 Move in circular motions to

create foam. Repeat steps 3 and

4 twice to fully remove residue.

2 Dip the brush in water. This

softens and loosens dirt before

you apply soap.

5 Remove excess water and

bubbles by pressing the brush

with your thumb and index finger.

3 Apply a coin-size blob of soap in

your palm and rub the brush over

the soap.

6 Put the bristles under running

water to remove soap but open

the bristles if the brush is thick.
