Love your bristles
Wash your brushes every few weeks to
prolong their life. Try to wash the bristles
only in order to preserve the internal glue.
1 Run the bristles only under lukewarm
water to rinse out residue make-up.
2 Fill a small bowl with lukewarm
water and a squirt of mild shampoo.
Gently press down on the bristles
to work through the shampoo.
3 Rinse bristles under lukewarm water.
Press out the excess water and lay
them flat on paper towel overnight.
4 Store brushes upright in a container to
finish air-drying and to retain their shape.

the 5 you need
There are many different shapes
and sizes of make-up brushes and
each one is designed for a specific
purpose. But, if you're just after a
fresh, healthy look these are the
top five – blusher, foundation, eye
shadow, lip and powder brush.
