How to clean your makeup tools

 No matter what kind of cosmetic we have we always need good tools to apply it on for the perfect effect. But with time putting makeup on becomes a challenge. In the following passages I will tell you how to keep your makeup tools in tact.

 For brushes:

 Make sure to keep your makeup brushes clean to keep bacteria and dirt away from the sensitive eye area and face. Gently wash them with warm water and a little soap, cleanser or shampoo once a week or as needed. Swish just the tops of your brushes (avoiding the handle) into a cup of gentle liquid dish cleanser or shampoo. You will see the soapy water turn color as the makeup is cleansed from the brushes. 

 Rinse the brushes either in another cup of water or under the faucet. Using your fingers squeeze any excess water off the brush as you reform the brush bristles. Lay on a towel overnight to dry. Allow the makeup brush to dry fully before applying makeup to your skin.
If you take care of your brushes, they will last for years.

 For sponges:

 Cleaning your foundation sponge is actually very very easy, and it's good because that way you won't let any bacteria develop on the sponge. It's very easy for them to do so, simply because the foundation is a very welcoming environment for them, very nourishing  So make sure you keep it clean. Of course you should change it often, I usually do it every week, and I wash mine every two days. 

 What you need to do is, first get the sponge wet, use warm water, squeeze it a  few times make sure it's soaked, then you can use shampoo or soap  I prefer soap. Apply a bit of the soap rub it into the sponge, squeeze it and wash the soap off, do it a few times until you can't see any foundation going down the drain. And unlike the brushes, you can use it without waiting for it to dry, actually it's even better, because if it's wet it won't suck out your foundation, and it will all go where it's supposed to.
