Washing Brushes

So I currently wash my make up brushes weekly (and my foundation brushes every second day), using two different shampoos - one is designed to "blast through grease", and the second is a tea tree shampoo.

I do currently have quite oily skin, and since my foundation is liquid and my blusher ('cheek tint') is sort of a creme-like texture, 'Juicy Lucy' (the grease buster) is really good at cleaning my brushes, but is quite expensive to just be cleaning my make up brushes with.

So, I was wondering if there are any 'home made' brush cleaning ideas, they're synthetic but I don't want to risk ruining them as the nearest place to get them is a 90-minute round trip away, plus at the moment they're pretty expensive to replace.

Ha, I like that idea - I'll have to have a scout around and see what's sold first; my current brushes are synthetic (and amazing!) - I'm really big on living cruelty free :)

Baby shampoo(even the generic kind) is the best and most inexpensive way to keep your brushes clean without damaging them. I have brushes that are over 20 years old and still look new so I know it works.

So the first picture is natural brows. The second is with the left brow done. What I'm asking you ladies is some critic on it as I've never actually done my brows before I don't want to look silly. Continue
