    Pinspired Plus Size OOTD

    Brush Bath: How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes

    Do you ladies wash your brushes at least once a week? I don’t. I know, SO GROSS…but I forget to! (My bad.) I probably do it every 3-4 weeks or as-needed. (But I should do it more often.) For so long, I was using “brush cleansers.” By MAC or Sonia Kashuk…but I have found that best my brushes ever look and feel is when I follow this easy brush-washing technique. 1.
