How to cleanse your makeup brushes

hey!

Well i was thinking about it and I'm not sure if it was just me but all of those youtube gurus where going on about you HAVE to clean your brushes but the first thing that fazed my mind was how do i even clean my brushes?

This is the product i will be using M.A.C's brush cleanser, but before we get into it i thought that i would let you all know how important it is to clean your brushes! So make sure you either every day (but not intensively) or every weekend when you have the time because i know for certain that on top of doing my makeup there is no way that i would ever have time to clean my brushes as well. So i intensively clean them every weekend or if i have no time once every two weekends :s But back into it, my cleanser is £8.50.

I will be showing you two brushes a foundation brush (which I'm not sure where it is from) and a buffing brush from ecotools, this has to be my favourite brush and i use it every singly day! It is soft and just on a whole gorgeous.
You are going to need kitchen roll (toilet paper will just rip when cleaning) and i use three pieces stacked up. Then you will need to get your brush, i am starting with the round buffing brush and as it is round you will need to go in circular motions. the same for a smaller round eye brush.

and for the flat foundation brush i would suggest going over the two slides back and forth:
For a more deep cleanse i just drip the cleanser onto the bristles and dry it in circular motions again on the kitchen roll.
After all of this you need to shape them to their original shape so that they don't dry weird and end up drying all funny.
Finally leave them to dry on their side, NOT UPRIGHT on a clean piece of kitchen roll.

Sorry this Post was mainly photos went a bit cray with them haha.
