Description from the creator

Hi Everyone! Today I'm bringing you another highly requested video. I'm showing you a cheap and easy way to clean your makeup brushes. Cleaning your brushes is so important for a variety of reasons which I outlined in the video. It's one thing I never slack on, purely because I have enough issues with my skin as it is! I spot clean my brushes after each use and deep clean them once a week to keep that bacteria at bay and to keep my brushes in tip top condition :)
I hope you found the video helpful and i'll see you soon in my next one!
