Try to clean your brushes at least once a week. It's going to prevent breakouts and prolong the life of these indispensable tools. EnKore has a great video on a how to make your own brush cleanser using things you probably already have at home. All you need is a measuring cup, a tablespoon, a mixing container, and a bottle to store the cleanser.
Mix the following ingredients together in a large container:
-1 cup of distilled/purified water
- 1/4 cup of 70% isopropyl alcohol
- 1/2 tbsp dish soap (I used Dawn)
- 1/2 tbsp gentle shampoo (I used Organix Mandarin Olive Oil)
- 1 tbsp of leave-in conditioner (I used Tresemee)
Gently stir to prevent suds from forming.
This is just the nature of DIY projects I guess. When it goes right, it's like"Take that, retail!". But when it goes wrong, it's like "Grr, should've left it up to the pros." I think this cleanser has left me with a little bit of both feelings.
I'd love to know your opinions on how to clean brushes, so please comment below. :)

I am very bad at cleaning my brushes...esp my blush brush even though I use it more regularly now than before. I saw a few videos on youtube on how to clean brushes; so, check those out. My personal favs are the ones by oxfordjasmine and panacea81.
Ciao!

I haven't tried this DIY method since I'm kinda lazy, hehe. I usually wash my brushes with lukewarm water and soap, and every now and then treat them to conditioner. Yes, I'm that obsessed, LOL! But it leaves them nice and fluffy =)
@ Suchi: thanks for checking out the blog babe! I've seen panacea's vid. She's uses baby shampoo, which I think I'll buy because I love the whole J&J baby line.
@Marce: Soap and water do work the best, but my reason for making this mixture is to find a gentler way to clean. Soap & water make my brushes lose shape a bit. Thanks for the conditioner tip!
i always use cetaphil cleanser but i never conditioned them until the girl at my mac store said that as key to keeping the hair from falling out/breaking.
It's perfect time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you few interesting things or advice. Perhaps you can write next articles referring to this article. I wish to read more things about it!

I think everything posted made a ton of sense.
However, what about this? what if you added a little information?
I am not saying your content isn't solid, but what if you added something that makes people want more? I mean "EnKore's Homemade Brush Cleaner" is a little plain. You ought to look at Yahoo's front page and note how they write article titles to get viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get people excited about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.
