How to clean and Sanitize Makeup Brushes

Cleaning ESUM makeup brushes thoroughly is important to a sanitary makeup application and maintaining the quality of your tools. To deep clean makeup brushes we recommend using a gentle, solid brush cleanser. To ensure your brushes are rid of additional bacteria, we recommend using C3 Cosmetology Complete Care—a non-toxic, water based disinfecting spray that has residual value to continue to eliminate bacteria from cosmetics when stored back in your kit. Follow these tips to maintain the lifetime of your makeup brushes.

At the end of the day brushes should always be washed thoroughly. Start by wetting the brush head with lukewarm water. Swirl the brush head in the cleaner and begin to massage and lather to begin the cleaning process. Continue lathering until all traces of makeup are removed.

Rinse brush until lather dissolves, then blot the brush dry on a paper towel. To avoid brush hair from tangling during the cleaning process, comb and groom brush head with the ESUM 13 Stylist Tool.
