Of Brushes and Fluffy-doodles

There are all kinds of beauties in my world. There are the "naturals", those who won't wear any makeup at all, and just look fresh all the time (Kristine, Nancy, Gay). On the other end of the spectrum are what we affectionately call "Fluffy-doodles" -- the ones who always have perfect makeup, perfect hair, perfect nails, sparkly clothes and probably even fake fur around their handbag (Tanya, Linda, Darla). I could never get away with that, but it suits them well. Tanya even has a canned drink holder with faux fur all around the top! Most, like me, fall somewhere in between.

Continuing on yesterday's thread, if you use some kind of mineral makeup, you're going to need to clean your brushes. I looked at the spray stuff that supposed to sanitize brushes between each using (good if you're sharing), but even the instructions on that say you need to actually shampoo the brushes. When they start to feel a little rough, it's time. I just simply use my gentle hand soap and water. Hold it brush side down while you're shampooing and rinsing, so no water gets up inside the brush. Shampoo at least twice, or until it rinses clear. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry, lay it across something to air dry (as shown in picture). It's best to wash it after using in the morning so it'll be dry for use tomorrow morning. I only do this about once a month.
