To clean your Rare Beauty brush easily, follow these steps. First, wet the bristles with warm water. Make sure the water is not too hot to avoid damaging the bristles. Next, apply a small amount of gentle soap, such as Kernseife, to the bristles. This soap is free from perfumes and harsh ingredients, making it ideal for cleaning makeup brushes.
Then, swirl the brush in the soap and gently massage the bristles to remove any product buildup. Be thorough but gentle to avoid breaking the bristles. After that, rinse the brush with clean water to remove all soap residue. It’s important to rinse until the water runs clear to ensure all soap is gone.
Once rinsed, carefully squeeze out excess water from the bristles. Avoid pulling or twisting the bristles while doing this. Lay the brush flat to dry, which helps prevent water from seeping into the ferrule and damaging the brush. Drying the brush flat also helps it maintain its shape.
For a more thorough cleaning, you can use a brush cleaner like Cinema Secrets or Beauty Blender Cleanser. These products are specially formulated to remove dirt and oils more effectively. You can use them with a silicone mat or glove for deeper cleaning. This can be particularly useful for brushes that see heavy use.
