Cleaning tips

· For animal hair, use shampoo and conditioner · For synthetic, use shampoo or hand soap · Only ever wet the fibre part of the brush, otherwise water will get into the handle and dislodge the glue · After rinsing, squeeze out all the water and lie flat to dry · If you’re using the same brush for different colours, you will need a quick-drying brush cleanser, available from most make-up stores. For a homemade version, follow this recipe (above right) that uses products you may already have at home.
