Q. How to clean makeup brushes?
A. Its important to clean your makeup brushes to make sure they are bacteria-free and do not cause any skin irritation.

- Rinse the brushes in lukewarm water and then apply a small amount of baby shampoo and lather into a foam. If you don’t have baby shampoo, regular hand soap or mild shampoo works just fine. Wash them again to remove all soap water and remember not to get the base of the bristles too wet where they meet the brush handle.
- Squeeze the makeup brush gently with a tissue or a cotton cloth, and leave it in a well-ventilated area so it can air-dry.

Q. What is the difference between natural vs. synthetic makeup brushes?
A. Natural brush fibers are made from various animal furs and hairs while synthetic makeup brushes are made from man-made hairs of nylon, polyester or other synthetic materials. Natural makeup brushes are usually handcrafted, customized and soft on skin but are not preferred due to ethical reasons. With advanced technology synthetic makeup brushes have come a long way and are a great option to try. They actually mimic the soft, smooth texture and feel of natural makeup bristles and with their smoother fibres are less likely to trap dirt and product, making them easier to clean. These give great results too!
