"Brushes that are used for dry products, like powder, bronzer, and blush can be cleaned just once a week with a moisturizing white bar soap, like the Dove Beauty Bar," explains Barose. "These brushes can last for years."

You can also use a gentle shampoo to clean brushes! "I prefer using shampoo for soft, natural bristle brushes or eye makeup brushes but only when the colors used aren't too dark, like if you're using a lot of neutrals. Rinse the bushes in water and then swirl it into the soap so it lathers up. Massage through it and be sure to clean all of it, not just the tips. The same goes for if you're using shampoo. Pretend you're massaging your hair! Make sure to rinse until the water runs clean." less
