Spring & Summer
Nifty Nails: Painted nails are the cherry on top of any look; it just
makes everything look polished. A light pastel pink or plum color, that
matches the “in” colors for lips, is all the rage for this spring and summer. Putting that final nail polish touch to your wave, says HELLO with
color every time!
How To Quickly Clean Your Make-Up Brushes
Step 1: Pour a small amount of alcohol into a container. The
alcohol should not go past the top of the bristles of the brush.
Step 2: Hold the brush in the alcohol for a couple of seconds
and make sure it is completely saturated.
Step 3: Use back and forth swiping motions, as well as swirling motions, to break up the product that’s within the brush. Change the alcohol if it gets
too dirty, and continue.
Step 4: Using back and forth swiping motions, wipe off onto a tissue or paper towel, any
excess alcohol and/or left over make-up residue off the bristles of your make-up brush.
Your brush will be dry within seconds or minutes, depending on the size or density of the
brush. This technique cleans your brushes fast and effectively. It is not recommended to
stop washing your brushes all together with soap and water and only spot clean them
with alcohol, as alcohol will not condition your brushes like washing with a mild baby
soap.
Alcohol is a fast and effective way to clean them
on the go. Whether cleaning your brushes with
soap or alcohol, the staining that make-up leaves
on your brushes will not usually come out. It is
always good practice to protect your skin from the
bacteria that can build up on your face brushes, by
cleaning them often.
