How to clean your makeup brushes

How to clean your dirty makeup brushes!!

So what I do is pretty simple and this soap makes them smell amazing after, you get a good scent as your applying your makeup.

What you'll need:

-Dirty make-up filled brushes
-Vegetable oil, coconut oil or olive oil
(Ive used all 3 at different time)
-dish soap (palmolive or dawn, palmolive gives a lasting scent, but both brands are great)
-A small towel (to allow brushes to dry)
I used my daughters old burping clothes because they are long and soak up water well
-A small dish (optional but not necessary your hand will work fine as well)

Step 1: So in a dish or your hand your going to add equal parts oil and soap, if they are really dirty add extra soap to start cleaning.

Step 2: Dip your brushes in the mixture and stir, mix, pretty much move brushes around until the brush its covered in the mixture.

Step 3: Run under water, as your rubbing the brush in your hand keep doing so until the water goes clear and no makeup is left. If the mixture has run out but brush is still coated in makeup make the mixture again and repeat steps. 

Step 4: If water is clear and brush looks clean Lay brush on towel to dry.

Step 5: Do the same to all your brushes. Repeat the above steps.

Step 6: Allow your brushes to dry. Takes along time.

I recommend doing this after your done applying your makeup or the night before. So they have time drying.
