If you use it daily, you should clean it daily, or every other day if you feel you won't have time. I use Sephora's Brush Cleaner for all of my brushes, and their Brush Shampoo once a week to give them that extra oomph! I'm also a mom, so sometimes I barely have the time to put my make up ON let alone clean my brushes, so occasionally I do it every other day. There are directions on the brush cleaner on how to clean them too, if you also need help with that. Also, the brush cleaner is only $7.

I wash mine once a week and I may use it 3 or 4 times a week. I use a gentle shampoo and clean the brush by putting a little shampoo in my palm and rubbing the brush then rinsing under warm NOT HOT water. Take a clean towel wipe out most of the water and reshape the brush . Let it air dry laying down on a clean towel. Do NOT dry your brush with the handle down in a cup or something similar as the glue can loosen and the brush can get ruined

The brush needs to get washed every day or at least every other day or application will get uneven and you might get breakouts from a dirty brush! To clean it, I just put a pump or two of gentle liquid soap in my hand and add a bit of warm water and swish it around, rinse, and repeat until the water/soap runs clear. Then I just leave it out, laying down, to dry.

I find it's best to wash the brush every two to three days. I use antibacterial dish soap, which is the best thing I have found to clean it!!!

I wash mine on a weekly basis, so that bacteria does not build up. Shampoo works for me, I apply and wash until the water runs clear off of it (7-8 times). I had purchased Sephora's brush wash, but shampoo is much cheaper and works better in my opinion.

Question

Using Foundation Brush

I've worn makeup since age 13, & I thought I'd tried everything under the sun, but the idea of using a brush to apply liquid foundation leaves me baffled! I live nowhere near a Sephora store, so could some of you provide suggestions as to how a foundation brush is used, how to clean it, etc. Thank you! Based on what you say, I may very likely buy one & try it with MUFE's HD Foundation, which I'm dying to try!

I was the same way! I always used a sponge or my fingers to apply my foundation! I've been on this make up kick lately, upgrading all of my make up and everything, and I thought ... I should try a foundation brush. It is SO worth it. It applies your foundation a lot smoother and you use less make up, so you don't waste as much, which in time, saves you money! I think if you try it and you REALLY hate it, you might be able to work somethign out with Sephora so that you could return it for a full refund.

Heres one way...squeeze a pump or 2 of foundation on the back of your hand, after moisturizer and primer grab some foundation with your brush and apply it in downward and sideways brushing motions, putting it first in places you need it most. Blend carefully extending to neck. Be careful in tight places like the eye area and nose area so that it looks flawless.

I just squirt some foundation on the back of my hand and dip the brush in a little of it and start painting away using vertical strokes, re-dipping the brush when it gets low. This brush does a really good job at preventing streaks and such with little effort on your part - maybe just the occasional stroke in the opposite direction if you get a bit of a line. I start with my cheeks, move to my chin, and then do my forehead. The brush needs to get washed every day or every other day or application will get uneven and you might get breakouts from a dirty brush! To clean it I just put a pump or two of gentle liquid soap in my hand and add a bit of warm water and swish it around and rinse until the water/soap runs clear. Then I just leave it out, laying down, to dry.

When will this be back in stock?

Sephora, when will this product be back in stock? I REALLY need one because I hate applying my MUFE HD foundation without it. Will it be a long wait?

Question

30N Brush or Bobbi Brown Foundation Brush?

I've read reviews for this brush and Bobbi Brown's Foundation Brush. It's pretty much a tie. If you have tried both brushes, which one do you prefer?
