BBB--> Clean your (new)brushes!

Getting a lot of spots lately?
Or eyeshadows appear an other color on your eyelids?

It's time to clean your makeup brushes!

Remember that I just got my Sigma makeup brushes?

Sigma makeup is very sweet to warn you that you have to clean your brushes before use

But some doesn't....

I feel sorry for that

Because......KEEP READING!













Let me show you some photo's that I took while I was cleaning my new Sigma brushes

I didn't took a photo of the beginning, I mean the first time

This is the Sigma SS187 brush
Looks very normal now...but
I swear..it was GREEN!
I was in SHOCK!
And this wasn't the first time...I mean I already cleaned it for 20 minutes before I took this photo!!!!!!
DISGUSTING!!!


After 10 minutes...
An other 10 minutesTHEN I lost my patience.....I mean to take disgusting photo's again and again
After 40 minutes or something...I was still doing this

The SS182 Kabuki brush was less disgusting...but still:S
I was cleaning THESE brushes again and again....The SS187 just won't get clean
And I'm not giving up....
I am cleaning my brush anyway, so it has to be CLEAN in the end, no matter how long it takes
AND actually, it took AN HOUR to get all my brushes clean

BUT It's worthwhile...now it's soft and clean!
Can you imagine that ALL THOSE UNKNOWN stuff gets allover your face???
I can't imagine that...and I think I'll cause a lot of spots on your face, and some people might get allergy from it:S

And I also suggest you clean your brushes with brush cleanser everytime after use(New brushes also before use) Because, there are a lot of bacteria's on your makeup brushes or any make-up tools such as sponge and eyelash curlers

Moreover regular cleansing will protect the bristels of your brushes and making your brushes last longer
Once a week deep cleansing with babyshampoo or something like that

There are different brands/kinds of brush cleansers
No matter what kind of makeup cleanser you have, as long as you keep your makeup brushes clean:P

The one I'm using is the MAKE UP FOR EVER Brushcleanser
It's beautiful green..hahaha
I got it for a year, it's still not empty because I didn't have that much makeup brushes, and I didn't realize how important it is to keep your brushes clean
It wasn't that expensive....like 11euro's or something

MAC Brush cleanser
It's in PINK:S

It's in a tube, I think this one is meant for deep cleansing, you know, with foam

Shu Uemura brush cleaner

Clinique brush cleaner


Bare Escentuals brush conditioner shampooEstee Lauder Brush cleanser
Smashbox brush cleanser
Sephora brush cleanser
AND OFCOURSE
BABYSHAMPOO
doesn't matter which brand



If you don't have that budget...no problem
You can also make your own brush cleanser
