How often do you wash your makeup brushes?

Kelly · Hermes

I wash mine every couple weeks, more or less depending on how much I've been using them. I usually wash them with clarifying shampoo but I don't have any basis for that other than the fact that I want to use up this shampoo!

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I haven't been too good about this lately. Normally I wash mine using eye makeup remover or just plain makeup remover mixed with water. I also do a quick "wash" using the sephora brush cleaner wipes. They don't do a deep clean but they are quick and I can use the brushes right away.

Oh god. not as often as I should. ew. When I do, I just use shampoo and lukewarm water.

Boots · Gucci

Ideally once a month. That being said, I don't think I've actually done it in 2 months. I use shampoo and warmish water them lay them out to dry on a towel. This reminds me that I really need to do that this weekend.

Every couple of weeks. I use Bare Escentuals Quick Change because it's a spray and you don't have to use water...

atlgirl · Gucci

I try to do it weekly, though lately I've been busy and haven't kept up as often as I'd like. I use my regular face wash to wash them. I figure it goes on my skin, and they go on my skin...

Ideally, once a week. Lately it's been more like twice a month.

I use shampoo on most brushes, and face wash with salicylic acid on the grimy ones, like my foundation brush. I read salicylic acid cleanser works well on grimy makeup brushes.

I'm so embarrassed to admit that it's been a few months...

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I think I need to get on this! I do it like quarterly. BAD
