Re: how often do you wash/clean your make-up brushes

i only use one makeup brush daily and it's a eyeliner brush for fluidline from mac. since it's gel eyeliner i use, i do a "quick cleaning" with mac brush cleanser everytime after i use it. with face brushes, i'd "quick clean" everytime after i use it or every other day. for mac brush cleanser, it's $12 for a really big bottle that lasts a long time and you can use it on any kind of brushes. and every one or two weeks, i'll deep clean all my brush with water and baby shampoo. it's important to deep clean your brushes because you don't want a build up of bacteria.

Re: how often do you wash/clean your make-up brushes

Usually once every 3-4 days... though sometimes it depends on how often I use them. I always like to do a quick wipe with my quo brush cleaner after each use though. But you definitely should wash them at least once a week because there will be bacteria buildup.

Re: how often do you wash/clean your make-up brushes

^ i don't think that's true as long as you clean your brushes regularly and take good care of them, they should be fine. i know some mac face brushes are almost $45 each and that would be a lot of money if your replacing them every three months.
