Powdered Products: Makeup products like loose powders, eyeshadows or blushers do not get accumulated easily and hence, can be cleaned once a week. But if your usage is high and you notice color buildup or experience uneven product application, you can clean them twice a week.
Liquid or Cream Products: Makeup products like liquid foundation, concealers and cream lipsticks tend to accumulate easily in between the bristles. Hence, these brushes should be deep cleaned regularly in every 2-3 days or after each use if necessary to ensure the quality of bristles.
Spot Cleaning Daily: For those of you catering to multiple clients in a day or using a host of makeup products daily, it is ideal to spot-clean your professional makeup brushes after every use. A brush cleaner can be helpful or quickly disinfect using a spray sanitizer to remove excess product.
Deep Cleaning Weekly: Your professional makeup brushes deserve deep cleaning at least once a week to eliminate any possible makeup accumulation along with excess oils and bacteria. This maintains their performance and longevity too.
