Hi,

What do you use to clean your make up brushes with? Do you have to buy a special liquid, or can you use a shampoo (with it dry the brushes)?]

Thanks

I spent good money on MAC brush cleanser which doesn't work nearly as well as a little bit of shampoo and tap water. Don't forget to reshape your brushes before letting them dry.

I have read that baby shampoo is good for this since it's so gentle.

Put a drop of mild soap (baby shampoo if you prefer) in your hand and cup it and swirl the brush around in your hand while under running water. Dont wash with hot or even too warm of water, it will loosen the glue that holds it all together. reshape and let sit so the bristles are hanging over the counter to make sure it gets dry all over. From Bobbi brown's book.

I just use everyday soap and water, and it works great.
