What to avoid when washing your makeup brushes at home

How to wash your makeup brushes fast at home and what to avoid.
Avoid olive oil - this is a big no no for synthetic makeup brushes. The oil costs the bristles and you’ll affect how the brushes pick up pigment.
Washing makeup brushes with olive oil is usually done with brushes made from animal fur, this method is done to soften the hair. With synthetic makeup brushes you don’t need to do that, especially if they’re made from high quality soft vegan fiber like MOTD Cosmetics.
Never point your makeup brushes in running water - water makes its way between the handle and ferrule which eventually loosens it over time.
Always pinch your brushes to rid of excess water, especially with your foundation, powder and large makeup brushes. This cuts dry time in half and avoids the brush from getting loose.
Makeup brushes clean mats? Are they needed? Not really. You heard my opinion on them.
