Loose powder dry cleaning method Suitable for cleaning brushes that absorb powder, such as eyeshadow brushes and contour brushes. Try to choose colorless matte loose powder, and you can also use talcum powder instead, but do not use dark or pearlescent loose powder.

Fold the paper towel into three layers, pour some loose powder on it, dip the eyeshadow brush or contour brush into the loose powder and brush back and forth along the bristles on the paper towel, do not brush in circles, until no more color comes out.

The advantages of loose powder dry cleaning are that it saves time, and the brush can be used immediately without drying. The disadvantage is that the cleaning is not thorough, it can be used occasionally or when there are not enough brushes during makeup, and you don't need to change brushes to continue makeup.

Cleaning agent dry cleaning method The cleaning agent needs to take into account both cleaning ability and quick-drying ability. The cleaning agent dry cleaning method has strong cleaning ability and a certain sterilization effect, and is suitable for all brushes, whether it is a brush that absorbs powder or a brush that absorbs liquid or cream.

Spray the cleaning agent directly on the brush head or pour it into a small lid to completely wet the brush head, then brush it back and forth on the brush pad or brush egg, using the uneven texture of the surface of the brush pad and brush egg to thoroughly clean the brush. After the brush is no longer colored, use a paper towel to absorb the moisture from the bristles.

For the cleaning agent dry cleaning method, it is recommended to wash the large brushes first and then the small brushes. Usually, the brushes will dry in about twenty minutes. The brushes must be air-dried. Using a hair dryer or sun exposure will shorten the life of the brushes. Moreover, the cleaning agent contains alcohol, so the brushes must be completely dry before use.

Detergent Wash Detergent washing is the cleanest and most thorough cleaning method. The downside is that brushes dry slowly, and cleaning them is time-consuming. It is suitable for regular thorough cleaning of brushes. Synthetic fiber brushes should be washed once a week, and animal hair brushes every two weeks. Newly purchased brushes may have industrial glue for shaping, and need to be thoroughly cleaned before use.

It is best not to use alkaline cleaning agents for brushes, otherwise the bristles will become hard or frizzy, and the feel of the bristles will deteriorate. For high-end brushes, use a cashmere cleaning agent.

Silicone-free shampoo can be used for cleaning. Shampoos usually contain silicone to fill the hair scales and make the hair smooth. However, shampoo containing silicone will affect the powder-grabbing ability of the brush after washing. Some baby shampoos are silicone-free and can be used to wash brushes. Makeup remover can also be used to clean brushes.

First, dip the brush head in water, with the brush head facing down to avoid water getting into the joint between the brush head and the handle, preventing delamination and bristle shedding. Then, drop a few drops of detergent onto the brush head, brush it back and forth on the cleaning pad, and rinse with clean water until there is no color or foam left. The brush is then clean. Then use a paper towel to dry the brush head, and insert it upside down into a dedicated makeup brush drying rack.
