Those that use bare minerals . . .

I was just wondering how you care for your make-up brushes? I am really bad at taking care of my make-up brushes and find I go through them quicker than maybe I should.

I use this spray called "brush off". they sell it at Ulta, but you can get it at Harmon drug store for less than 1/2 the price.

you spray it on a tissue and then swirl the brushes around. it's great b/c there is no drying time! you can start using them right away.

I use Cetaphil, and pretty much follow this method:

Cleaning
brushes




Take the brush and put the bristle end in the water pointing downward.
# Apply a small dab of cleanser or shampoo and gently massage to get all grime off.
# Rinse the brush thoroughly.
# Re-fluff the bristles into their natural shape and lay it flat to dry.

Also:
Don't wash natural bristle brushes too often

Hmmm...I just use some mild soap and water and then let them air dry. Seems to work fine.

I also use a spray and do the same thing. I don't know if it is the same exact one, but it may be.

I bought a brush cleaner at Ulta. I also bought a little makeup brush holder pouch. Holds about 8 brushes.

I clean them with a tiny dot of baby shampoo.
