1. I haven’t cleaned my brushes yet, since they’re fairly unused. I don’t use eye brushes except for one, and the rest of my shadow is applied with my fingers – the one eye brush I use is for blending. My foundation comes with a built-in brush so I’m not sure I could clean it (Loreal Bare Natural Loose Mineral Powder).
2. I take off my makeup every night before I go to bed – it’s the first thing I do in my before-I-sleep routine.
3. The only green I have is MAC Greensmoke, and its not pigmented enough (its a lustre, what should I expect?!) nor is it green – it’s more of a green-casted gray. I want to buy Sumptuous Olive and Humid from MAC, though. 🙂

-earlier today (2 hours ago): I’m anal & usually wash them after every use
-every evening before showering
-I’m not a big fan of greens. In fact, up until a year ago, I did not own any! I am slowly warming up to some of them though. I do prefer the chartreuses (chartreuse & true chartreuse pigments, sour lemon/bitter/sharp e/s) as well as the cool tone ones (such as blue-greens from Cool Heat MAC collection, or Aquavert, Newly Minted. I also really like Dark Blue Green pigment, which is more like a smoky dark color.
