I do! But I don”t wear that much make up, and not everyday. But I agree that you definitely have to take care if your brush like you would of anaything that you apply on your skin!
If you don’t, watch out for pimples…!

Je lave mes pinceaux une fois par semaine et c’est déjà un exploit ! Alors tous les soirs, wow, je ne me vois pas le faire…

xx.

Pfff laisse tomber jfais rien….

Tous les soirs O.O nooon, mais une fois par semaine est plus raisonable pour moi.

Oh Brandi would be mad at me because I tend to neglect the washing of brushes until you can really start to see the dirt – which is not a good thing on a black tip brush. Once a month seems to do it with a product from MAC cosmetics. You just dip your brushes into that (in another container), swirl it around & they come out CLEAN. Next time I’ll try the J&J shampoo – I’m sure it’s just as good.

I’m selling well priced professional sable makeup brushes on my site under Mica Beauty at:

but don’t tell anyone I’m lax in the brush cleaning dept.

The only way stuff like this gets done on any semi-regular basis around my house is if I make it as easy as possible on myself. That being said…I totally take my brushes in the shower with me to wash them. I’m sure this shortens their life…but they get clean this way! That’s my lazy beauty short cut for the day ;)

I really don’t take care of my bushes enough but I really should, shame on me! xx

Um.. I’m going to go wash my brushes now.. :|

J’utilise les pinceaux Sigma, selon moi se sont les meilleurs, la qualité est extraordinaire. Je lave avec un shampoing quelconque (n’importe lequel qui se trouve dans ma douche) mais avant je les conditionne avec de l’huile d’olive. Parcontre, je les lave une fois par semaine, je ne penserai pas à les laver tous les jours ça c’est clair soyons honnête! Je crois que je vais utiliser le shampoing pour bébé de J&J.

Une fois par semaine c’est bien suffisant, même si je ne le fais qu’une fois par mois :s

Hmm I feel really bad now…I have never washed my brushes…Popo I have to do some cleaning today!

Je lave mes pinceaux une fois par semaine avec du shampoing, ainsi que mes brosses a cheveux et peignes.

I really don’t clean my brushes every night, besides being lazy, they take forever to dry up. I clean them with an organic wash every week, and then twice a week I clean the, with anti-bacterial monolaurin gel (derived from virgin coconut oil). That product is actually my skin maintenance to keep break outs under bay, but it also makes for a luxurious antibacterial, so I use them for my brushes.

Waaah, this would make me quit my brushes! Not that I am using them that often either…just the blush one. I’ll wash it now….

Every night??!!! It does make sense, though. I do realize that there are sprinkles of the previous colors getting on to my face without my realization. Sometimes they’re so annoying that I had to remove my makeup, remove the powder, and reapply the whole thing. Well cleaning your brush every day is an alternative

I am a pretty infrequent user of makeup even though I have invested in some of the great brushes, which I love. What I do, especially for the smaller brushes for which it is crucial to keep clean – i.e. eyeliner and eyeshadow brushes, is if I’m not running horribly late is, right after using them dab a bit of soap on them and wash, rinse and set flat to dry. That way, my penchant for blue eyeshadow doesn’t get in the way of the days of neutral colors – even once a week is a challenge for me!

I can’t talk about the bigger brushes which take longer to swish clean – my Kabuki powder brush is a pain! I am ashamed of how little I wash that one :-

GERM FREAK! Not true about being sick and carrying the bacteria/virus across! I get it she’s a make-up artist and uses the brushes on many people over the week but for your average person it’s crazy talk. Bacteria and virus’ that make you sick have a hard time living out of the body, so imagine how well they go on a brush which spends 99% of it’s time in the cupboard and is covered with make-up not nice juicing living cells. Are we all dying of these crazy brush organisms?! No, I think not!
Obviously if you pop a pimple don’t go smearing that across your face but really I think everyone should calm down and not feel ‘guilty’ about their washing regime because at least they have better things to do than spend hours washing brushes!

I do the same, not because i am an avid make-up user or connoisseur nor because i care very much for the things i possess-but because i constantly have to deal with styes(we’re talking 15 to 20 styes) -and have had them operated three times. The minimum i can do to avoid them is wash everything i use that goes anywhere near my eyes. My doctor told me i had to clean my eyes with cotton tips and baby shampoo very day(i chose johnson an johnson’s baby shampoo too), and so i guessed that i could use the same products for my brushes. Haven’t had any styes since, fingers crossed.

Funny fact to read this article as I washed my makeup brushes two days ago for the first time! I used them like 3 times till a week ago, when I bought this pretty The Balm Nude’tude eye shadow palette at & Other Stories. So I have started to really makeup a week ago, and I checked out youtube channels about how to take care of my brushes. I used a mild shampoo : Le Petit Marseillais honey and shea. It worked perfectly, my makeup brushes were perfectly soft and clean.
Now I am wondering : from now on should I comment in English on Garance Doré’s website, as the Garance Doré team is certainly mostly composed of English speaking people?
Have a nice day!
