How to Clean Makeup Brushes with Dawn and Vinegar
Pour 1/2 cup warm water into a small mason jar or glass.
Then add 1 tbsp. White Distilled Vinegar and 2 tsp. Dawn Dish Soap to the water and stir well.
Now simply drop your dirty brushes into the cleaning solution, and allow to soak for 15 minutes.
After they’ve finished soaking, one by one, pull a brush out, run it under warm water to rinse… using your fingers to gently clean the bristles.
Then tap excess water off and gently squeeze between a towel to dry.
Lay each brush out on a towel to air dry completely overnight.
Then the next morning they’ll be squeaky clean and ready to use again!
How easy is that?!?
Keeping your brushes clean and dirt free really is THAT simple!
