We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Your skin tone/coloring: Below my name
What do you use to wash your brushes? Dr. Bronner’s liquid soap unscented except I use the bar soap version for foundation brushes. If the foundation isn’t coming out easily, I will rub the brush with baby oil and then soap it up again or occasionally use Cinema Secrets followed by the soap bar.
How often do you wash your brushes? About every two weeks, sometimes more often. I hate seeing a dirty brush so I probably wash the white ones more often.
How do you store your brushes? For brushes I use regularly, standing up in glass candle holders from a dollar store. Duplicates and brushes not used often are flat in a box in a drawer of my vanity.

My skin tone/coloring is cool, very fair to fair, with neutral undertone
I wash my brushes with Dawn detergent. If I have really sticky pigment like WP eyeliner on a brush, I soak it in eye makeup remover oil based product first, then Dawn soap.
I wash brushes weekly if I have the time and sometimes this gets delayed but never less than monthly–if a brush looks REALLY grungey I wash it right away and let it dry over the day. I have spare brushes so if I don’t have time to wash daily and brushes look nasty then I have a container they get moved to until I wash on the weekend–usually on Sunday.
I store my brushes in customized containers I purchased from Etsy and the extras go in a makeup drawer.

What do you use to wash your brushes? I like to use Dr Bronners or dishwashing soap for sponges, this soap works for me for flat brushes, I use with cream foundations, lipsticks.

What do you use to wash your brushes? Either Cinema Secrets (both for deep cleaning brushes that I use for cream and liquid products, so they dont get gunky), and also spot cleaning, very handy if you hoard brushes like me. I also like bar soap (Dove), and the ShopMissA Solid Brush/Blender Cleanser.
How often do you wash your brushes? It depends on useage.. but every 2wks-1mo… in between that Ill use the Cinema Secrets in a spray bottle and cleanse on a towel. If a foundation/concealer/cream contour brush gets too dirty Ill do the dip method with the CS, but only if not many brushes are dirty…
