Cleaning Make-up Brushes

I used to always buy cheap make-up brushes.  Every so often I would throw them away and get a new one.  This was so wasteful.  Even though the brushes were cheap, the price on them began to add up. This all changed when I decided to invest in some great brushes.  Now I need to clean them on a regular basis.  I know that I need to do this more often than I do but at least it gets done.

How to Clean Make-up Brushes:
1.  Add one tablespoon vinegar to one cup of hot water.
2.  Soak brushes for 20 minutes.  I make sure to shake press the brushes against the side of the cups in order to shake off as much gunk as possible.
3.  Run the brushes under hot water.  Make sure they are thoroughly rinsed off.

Verdict:

5 stars  - It works!  I got a lot of stuff off of the brushes.  The cup shows some of the stuff that came off.  More stuff came off when I rinsed the brushes.  It was a very easy project to complete!  Very little effort is needed to complete.

Potential Issues:

Having done this before, I did notice that there was a lingering vinegar smell long after this project has been completed.  This may bother people that are sensitive to strong smells.
