Q: Which makeup brushes do you actually need?
A: A buffing brush for base, something angled for concealer, a powder brush and a bronzer or blush brush cover almost every look. Building from a set is usually better value than buying those individually.
Q: How do you clean makeup brushes?
A: Wet the bristles under lukewarm water pointing downward, work a little gentle shampoo or brush cleanser through them, rinse until clear, reshape each head and dry flat with the bristles over the edge of a surface.
Q: How often should you wash makeup brushes?
A: Every week or two for anything used with liquid or cream products, monthly for powder brushes. The base brushes in a set are the ones that need it most.
