Best way of washing make-up brushes?

You can buy special make up brush cleaner but to be honest you're just as well using warm soapy water use mild soap though) to clean them then letting the brushes air dry. I find that works best. I could do with cleaning mine really.

I try to clean mine once a month. I had bought a brush cleaner by Mac that I use with warm water. Then I let the brushes air dry. I have some decent brushes so I want to make them last as long as possible, and since I like to switch up my eyeshadow and blush it's important to keep them clean so I'm not getting colors mixed up. I think a gentle liquid soap and warm water would work too if you don't want to invest in a brush cleaner.

i am a singer and i use make-up almost every night, i clean my brush specially the one i use for my blusher for it really gives me an itch so i wash it every weekend. i use liquid soap. body wash is what i use. i wet the brush then put a little amount of liquid body soap on my palm and brush my brush there in curcular motions. i rinse it and pat it dry with tissue paper or paper towels. i will lie it down on the table to dry. that is what i do.

I never wash mine..I just get new ones. Usually a new brush comes with a new product anyway so there is no need to clean them...

well i don't use make up too often so i don't own brushes. but i've done some reading up on these things (i'm curious about everything). it would seem that the washing can't wait. it's best to wash them at least once a month. just soak them in hot water and a little bit of mild detergent. or you can use make up remover too. just fill a bowl with make up remover and soak the brush head inside. the maximum one should go without washing is three months.

you should wash your foundation brushes every day or every other day, it carries alot of bacteria. you can use a cheap baby shampoo so it will be gentle on the fibers. as for the rest of your brushes probably once a week. just put some of the shampoo in your hand, and some warm water and swirl the brushes in your palm until they are clean.

Yes I wash them periodically and here is a piece of information on how to wash them every week without having to spend a penny: http://beauty-tricks.com/beautyblog/?p=67

I depends on what kind of makeup brushes you have. If the bristles are madeof plastic then you can use liquid hand soap, or even dish detergent, if your makeup is waterproof, and of course water. If you have good brushes with natural real hair for bristles then I would reccommend that you use a drop of shampoo and warm water. Either way make sure you rinse them out well or you could be putting soap onto your face along with your makeup and that could make your skin irritated.

I clean my brushes once a month, i dip it in a warm water + liquid soap, after 1h I rinse it in a warm water again, and then let it dry in room temperature.

of cos, buy those specialised solutions for washing brushes from Mac or Bobbi brown. But if you're on a budget and would like to do some DIY, I think the best way to wash your brushes is to use shampoo to wash it and use conditioner. treat it like your hair. this way the brushes will remain smooth to touch and gentle on face. then press them will paper towels (try not to use cloth as lint will get caught in between bristles. and then leave them to dry. Do not pull the bristles as well. ps: NEVER SOAK BRUSHES as this will loosen the glue used to keep the bristles in a bunch.
