For spot cleaning, I just use a daily cleaner. I've used both MAC and ELF.

For deep cleaning, I just use my shampoo.

I use an artists product called The Masters Brush cleaner. Super gentle and super effective. When I'm traveling, I use face wash. Usually purity made simple.

For quick disinfecting I spray my brushes down with alcohol, pat dry and follow with a nice wash with a conditioning shampoo. Have you looked into airbrush makeup? I totally swear by this! Less mess and you only have to clean the nozzle, however the prices range depending on what you are looking for. Hope this helps....have an awesome day!

Hi Savannah!

Here is a suggest way to clean your brushes after a busy day of clients or at the end of a week (from CHIC STUDIOS curriculum):

Lay a paper towel down.

Apply a small amount of soft soap (or shampoo) to each brush. NOTE: One pump of soap will be enough for 6-10 brushes

Under warm water, circle brush hairs in a figure 8 motion to remove all product. NOTE: Be careful not to get the handle wet, as this will damage the handles over time

Once brushes are clean, take an area of the paper towel and do similar figure 8 motions to remove excess water. Then, place on the side of a counter or table to allow brushes to dry naturally. If possible, leave brushes overnight to completely dry

After the brushes are dry, spray with 70% or higher alcohol and brushes are ready for use.

Hope that helps!!
