How to Care for Your Makeup Brushes

Clean tools make makeup application more pleasant and help avoid the buildup of old product. A simple, regular cleaning routine is easier to maintain than an occasional deep clean.

A thoughtful approach

Wash brushes with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water, keeping water away from the handle and ferrule where possible. Rinse well, reshape the bristles and lay brushes flat to dry with air circulating around them.

Make it your own

Let brushes dry fully before storing or using them. Replace tools when bristles shed heavily, the handle breaks, or cleaning no longer restores them.
