My goodness - dirty make up brushes! How often do you clean yours?

I clean mine once a month and leave to dry on a rad, it is important you leave brushes to dry laying down otherwise the glue rots and you loose bristles, I use a brush cleanser I found in superdrug on sale for 50p, before that I just used shampoo but for some reason the cleanser is better, I'm going to try the steralsing fluid though, good tip.

I was mine at leaset once a week and i have loads. (and wash foundation brush everytime i use it)

I used to use a body shop brush cleanser but now it use shampoo.

Been doing this for ages and my brushes (and glue) are still fine. I don't use expensive brushes really. Range from about £1.50 elf eyeshadow brushes to about £8 for a large powder kabuki.

I don't leave them to soak which might be why?

Never thought of using sterilising solution - wouldn't that make them stiff?

Never thought of sterilising fluid but seems logical now!

Places like MAC and Smashbox I see have special brush cleaners but they are a fortune! I just used a little clarifying shampoo on mine and they seem not too bad, just couldn't believe the rubbish that came off them!

Really need to make a note to do it more often!

I only use mineral make up so have a zillion brushes and I admit I do cheat now and then. If I feel a kabuki is getting a bit claggy I take a comb to it

Other wise I wash every couple of months and leave to dry in the hot press over night, lying flat across the slats
