What is the easiest/best way to
wash my makeup brushes? is it bad if I use regular hand soap?

I use baby shampoo and a tiny bit of gentle facial cleanser that has a makeup remover in it. :) works great for me.

I have garnier foaming facial cleanser that has a makeup remover in it, would that be good?(:

Yeah for sure!! I let the soak in a cup for about ten minutes then rinse in luke warm running water.

You can also clean it with hand sanitizer. gel liners don't come off with shampoo but it cums off easily with sanitiser.

What you use to remove your make up at night use for your make up brushes! Recently with some brushes to soften them after cleaning them I put a dab of moisturiser on the end work it in leave it for several mins then rinse as sometimes the bristles become quite tough.

I use regular hand soap, however if you notice your brush brittles getting dry, use olive oil to help soften them back.

Baby shampoo should be good, I personally havent had a problem removing gel liner from a brush with baby shampoo but always remember to dry them with the bristles facing down.

I would use whatever you would use on your face, you wouldn't wash your face with shampoo so I wouldn't recommend it try mixing a face wash or brush cleaner with some olive oil to stop the brush hairs drying out :) x

I use baby shampoo because it's gentle and baby oil if some of the bristles get kinda pokey. But very rarely is that a problem.

I've used baby shampoo, and it's worked pretty well. I know people who use face cleansers to wash their brushes, and they've said that it does an awesome job. I use the Sephora brush shampoo, and it takes off makeup with ease. It's also pretty inexpensive compared to other makeup brands.
