How often do you wash your make up brushes and what do you use?

[ReginaaPhalange]

Not sure if I should be using a specialist cleaning solution or not. I just use anti bacterial soap or anti bacterial washing up liquid and a scrub daddy. I do this once a week minimum or as needed. I do rinse my beauty sponge out daily

I use a baby shampoo and as I don't wear make up daily , so it about once a month.

I bet the baby shampoo is more gentle on the bristles! Might get some! :)

Also when you are washing your brushes , just stroke them in a downwards motion so you keep them in shape and not damaging them.

I use sulphate free shampoo and an Elf silicone make up remover gadget which is quite good.

Once every few months but I don't wear make up everyday and when I do I usually wet wipe the foundation brush etc or use a spray of antibacterial stuff. I use baby shampoo and I also use conditioner after! I try to keep them nice as they are quite expensive really.

I try to wash my foundation brush every time I use it but other brushes are after every couple of uses, depending on whether I’m using the same product (don’t want to mix up colours).

I use baby shampoo and a brilliant hack for one of those friction trays that cost well above a tenner at Boots and Superdrug: a Lego flat platform about 7.5cm by 12cm, which I confiscated from one of DS’s Lego sets (don’t worry, he never even noticed it was gone!).

I wash my eye shadow brush weekly and any foundation/face brushes after every 2 uses. I use dr bonners castille soap and it does a good job!

I use Real Techniques brush cleaning gel, it cleans way more efficiently than soap imo and rinses out more easily.

Any old shampoo

Whoops! Had mine 30 years. Never washed them. Never occurred to me. Feeling 🤢now.

Crossstitch I think you had better use something stronger! 😂

baby or any spare shampoo.

Once a week with washing up liquid. Mine are all synthetic and don’t need much pampering.

I use Nanshy brush cleanser, one of the best I’ve used. Been a makeup artist for years (don’t do it privately these days but very particular about cleaning them!)

Any shampoo. I rub them on a flannel and it works well. I do it when I remember maybe every 2-4 weeks. I use my fingers fir foundation so it's all powder products. I put my sponge in the washing machine every few uses.

I have the pro style brush cleaner, it cleans and dries a brush in about a minute, I love it and clean my brushes much more frequently now

I often use baby shampoo but at the moment I'm using a bar soap. Can't remember what it's called but I find it's really good for removing concealer that would otherwise not always come out with foundation.

Tbh most shampoos or soaps are fine.

I wash my brushes about once a week but I only use them about 3 times in that time.

If I use them more than that and don't want to do a full wash I use some alcohol spray or brush cleaner on a cloth in between.

I use a micro fibre cloth/towel between washes to buff any colour out
For washing dr bronner liquid soap or a specific makeup brush soap (fragrance free) as my brushes were eye watering money and I'm so careful with them!

Synthetic brushes come up good with fairy liquid, ensure rinsed well if you need a cheap option.
