How to Clean Makeup Brushes
Wet the brush and begin swirling the bristles in your palm. (I don’t know how she managed that snapshot!- Megan)
Rinse and watch the bacteria filled bubbles wash down the drain.

I think this must be how it starts. One day, you’re getting ready in the morning, carefully applying makeup, styling your hair (drying and curling), putting on high heels and…

Hi! I’m Megan, mom to a thoughtful teenager and spunky young girl. We call Houston home and recently moved into our dream home. I traded my lawyer hat to become a full-time blogger in 2010. I love sharing my passion for affordable fashion, home decor, organization, & fitness to help inspire you to take care of you!
I just recently cleaned mine. I try to remember to do it at least every other month. A lot of times breakouts are due to dirty brushes and the bacteria harboring in the bristles. Be careful not to get too much soap or water however near where the bristles are attached to the brush. This can loosen the glue over time, ruining your brushes. I usually add a bit of water to a small shallow glass, a bit of cleanser (or gentle shampoo), then just swirl the brushes in it. Then rinse holding the brushes, bristles down til the water runs clear. Depending on how dirty your brushes are you will probably have to change out water and the cleanser in the cup a few times. Works like a charm! Reshape bristles and lay flat. Going to check out her blog now. Thanks for introducing us to someone new!
Confession: I have not cleaned mine lately! I've been meaning too, but just haven't purchased a new cleaner yet so I'm happy to hear that Johnson's baby shampoo does the trick! Not that I have any of that laying around either, but I'll pick some up sooner rather than later.

Ooh, I needed to read this! I've been using my fingers to apply my makeup because my makeup brushes are so dirty. But this looks like an easy way to clean makeup brushes and it's something that I definitely want to try. Thanks for sharing!
This is exactly how I clean mine and it is simply the best way. I always see tutorials with spray and cleaning product for brushes, etc…and I always tell them just to use baby shampoo! Cheaper and better! http://www.styleoyster.blogspot.com
Ha! I was just thinking yesterday that I need to clean mine. Thanks for the reminder! Already have the baby soap! 🙂
OK, I can't remember the last time I cleaned my make-up brushes. That can't be good.
Thanks for the mention, my friend!
Oh…and that pizza looks AMAZING!!!

Thanks for the reminder! I need to go do this ASAP! Thank you for adding me to your blog roll! I just saw it! This means so much and is an honor to be on your "list!" Mwah!
How strange. I just took out all my makeup brushes yesterday so that I would remember to wash them this week. They need it – it's been months. We're in sync, apparently.
By the way, you're on my "blogs I heart" list, and you have been for quite a while. Cause I do heart you!

Great post! I usually throw my brushes out and buy new ones. Not anymore! Your blog is adorable.
I'm terrible about cleaning my brushes but when I do, I use baby shampoo! So much cheaper and already have it on hand!
Excellent post! Thanks for the reminder. I don't remember when I cleaned my brushes last and it is good to know that Johnsons Baby Shampoo will do the trick :0

thanks for the tip!!
It is so true that it is one of those things you just neglect and forget to do but if you think about it, you really really should! I use my face cleaner to clean them because it is super mild and I have sensitive skin. I could for sure see using the baby soap since it is mild etc. It is expensive to buy the brush cleaner too! Thanks for sharing!
