Neglected brushes accumulate product and oils from your skin and can become a breeding ground for bacteria. You must Wash them regularly not only protects your investment and guarantees smooth and consistent make-up application, it safeguards your skin too.

General maintenance:

o To prevent product building up too quickly, 'tap', dust or wipe extra make-up off your brush with a tissue after each use.

Tip: Clinique Make-up Brush Cleanser is an instant way to brush up. Simply add a couple of spritzes to each side of your brush head and wipe clean with a tissue. Within seconds, your fresh, newly sanitised brush will be dry and ready to be reloaded.

Tip: Adding a little bi-carb soda to the basin can help gently dissolve stubborn cream formulas and foundations.

To prevent damage to wooden handles and the glue holding the bristles in place, do not stand brushes up while drying and keep them out of direct heat.
