How To: Wash Makeup Brushes




Firstly I get a small table and a towel and lay this out on the table I then gather my brushes and put them on the table.

Next I run warm water into the sink and add soapy water. If you would like to use a bowl for this then it will work the same as I swap between which I use. Once I have added the soap I swirl it around to make it bubble up. Again it's your choice if you'd like to add soap or use normal warm water. 






After I have prepared everything I put the brush into the water then bring the brush out and pinch with my thumb and first finger and rub in circle to get the makeup off. If you need to you can add a bit more soap to the brush. 



After doing 2-3 brushes depending on the size I get rid of the dirty water and run fresh water and add more soap. Before running new water I let it run for a while and wash the sink down to get rid off any makeup that could of stayed at the side of the sink. 


I usually keep my concealer, foundation and powder brushes together, I then keep the blusher and bronzer brushes together then keep the eye brushes together. This stops foundation mixing with eyeshadow brushes. This is your choice if you do it this way.

Finally i leave all the brushes lined up on the towel and leave the to dry overnight. I would do this once a month to keep them clean unless they get very dirty I will do them in between washes.


This is my way of doing my brushes and you might have a different way. Hopefully this could give you some tips or help when you wash your brushes.

Top 5 Lip Products






MUA One Direction Moments Niall - I love using MUA make up as I think for the price it is good. From MUA I usually only buy Lipstick or Nail Varnish and Both are great. I was really happy when One Direction brought a makeup range out with them as I think the make up is great and it doesn't cost a lot. When it comes to lipsticks I prefer nude and pale pinks. The lipstick is a pale pink and it looks good to wear on a day to day basis and if you wear it at night. I think this is perfect if you are on a budget but it works just as good as any other lipstick.
Collection Little Mix Jade - Collection does have some good bargains it isn't usually my choice of makeup but I wanted to look at the Little Mix range when I first saw it. As I like nudes and pale pinks this one caught my eye and I loved as soon as I saw it. It doesn't cost much so is such a good bargain and the colour comes out lovely when you apply it. I would recommend this as it such a good lipstick to use. 
MUA One Direction Lip Polish Louis Loves... - When I was looking at this range for the first time I liked the look of this and when I found out that it was nude/brown colour I loved it even more. When you put it on your lips it gives a slight nude stain to your lips and makes them look so nice and glossy. I also love that it smells of vanilla as I love this smell myself. This is a great bargain and lasts for a while. 
Maybelline Baby Lips Cherry Me - I love this because it is a lip balm and it gives a nice stain to your lips. When they first came out everyone had them and I knew I needed to try them out. When I looked at them I brought this one and the Peach Kiss, both of them are great but I feel that Peach Kiss doesn't work as good for a lip balm because my lips still felt dry and chapped when I put it on but this one is amazing and my lips feel great after. I was worried at first of buying this as I don't usually wear bright or dark coloured lip products. When I tried it on at home I loved it because it wasn't to dark and just stained you lips with the red instead of being so dark. I also love the fact that it does also smell of cherries as it's such a nice smell.
Carmex Original - I really wanted a good lip balm as a few years ago throughout winter my lips were really dry and chapped so I asked for some suggestions and I was suggested this. Ever since I have brought this because it works really well. I usually put this on over night and the next morning my lips feel so much better. I also wear this in the day if I want my lips to be a natural colour or if it is windy as it protects them from getting even more chapped. This also has SPF 15 so I can wear it in summer when the sun is out and I need a protection on my lips.
