Claire J asked in Beauty & StyleMakeup · 1 decade ago

how often should i wash my makeup brushes?

I use makeup brushes from Sigma

I don't place makeup on everyday in a week

i probably only place it on about 2-3 times a week

-- some people say to wash it once a week (with soap & warm water) but i don't use it everyday in a week... should i still wash it once in a week?

For some brushes should i wash it right after i use them- like foundation brush, eyeshadow brush, etc

please help thanks!

    I'd wash them every time you use them. Otherwise bacteria will grow and the colors will mix.

    For foundation brushes and powder pads: change or rinse once every week no matter how many times used

    eyeshadow brush: once every two weeks since its used less

    Eyeliner brush (if pigment): twice a week

    Hope I helped :)

    I'd wash them every other time you use them. Not only can bacteria grow, the mixing of the colors left over will make the next application muddier and less true to its real color.

    it really depends how how often you use them, but you are supposed to wash them every 2 weeks. if its an eye brush, wash it whenever you need to. but a face brush is more important to clean because it comes in contact with your face skin.

    I think you should was your brushes every 2 weeks, so it stays clean, but if you don't dirty bacteria will go on your face and will make your skin bad and unhealthy.

    i hope this helped.

    You should spot clean daily and deep clean once a week. If you tend to have breakouts it's best to deep clean more often with an anti-bacterial cleanser.
