I wash my makeup brushes RELIGIOUSLY.

I once had an eye infection and my eye swelled 5 days before I was to be married! (I picked up a bacterial infection and for whatever reason it effected my eye first. I got antibiotics and eye drops and it cleared up in time for the wedding!)

That chaos made me REALLY CRAZY CAREFUL about my eyes and how to keep them healthy.

I have a sink, cleaning mat, shampoo and stacks of dirty brushes, now I’m shamed into cleaning them 🤦‍♀️. Thanks Robert for planning my day for me!

[biogirl]

“don’t soup your brushes!”… i freaking adore you. 🖤

[bunnyhyzen]

"Does it work? Sure. Should you do it...?"
*multiple adorable noises*
Oh, Robert. You made my day. 😆💜

[frostywolf]

Not gonna lie, every time I clean my brushes I can hear Robert reminding me I don’t clean them often enough. Just did them all today, in fact.

[CassandraRelynn]

I could listen to Robert's laugh 😃 all day! There is a hint of shade and an once of mystery. Loved this video (as always).

[emiiilyw]

Me: Robert should makeup a video of washing brushes….

2 days later Robert uploads video on how to wash brushes 😂😂🙌🙌

My friend who had super bad acne used to dump all of her brushes in soapy water then rinse them clean. I gave her one of my brushes in exchange of cutting one of hers open. THE MOOLLLDDD! I told her that’s why she shouldn’t get the barrel wet. She got new brushes and her skin is much better now.

I love how you disclose the advertisements right in the title of the videos. I trust that you won't peddle crap to me so I enjoy watching the ads as well as the other videos.

I am too embarrassed to watch this video because I will get even more embarrassed 😅 But Robert is the BEST teacher out there, my favourite vampire 🖤 and I cannot miss this opportunity to learn from a pro 😍😍😍

[Erana-Quesada]

Robert’s experience comes through in showing us how to maintain our tools for make up. He is the Master MUA! 🏆
I love this “how-to”!

[thetatertomater]

When this video first came out I remember I was at school and I was extremely burnt/stressed out crazy so I snuck off to skip my 6th hour because I couldn't do it anymore I cried in the girls restroom because of all the frustration and I started watching this video and Robert's soothing voice and Robert just being Robert comforted me so so much so thank you keep being yourself Robert! Your videos always make my day :)

[ElenKarin]

No more rubbing the brushes in shampoo on my palm and rinsing them out under running water then😅😅 Thank you for this video, it’s very helpful!

What a gem tutorial, hun. The epitome of poetry and pragmatism.
🧛🏻‍♀️💜

Fun lil hack to hang your brushes: use a hair tie and loop it around the brush and attach it to a bar or handle or towel rack etc. loop it once around the brush, pull the hair tie behind the horizontal bar of choice, then loop it back again onto the brush. It’ll hold it upside down perfectly so the glue doesn’t get messed up and it dries properly.

I wash my brushes that I use liquid or cream products with every time I use them. I use the Elf charcoal soap bar for sponges, but it works miracles on my brushes. They clean up so much more quickly using this product!!🖤🖤🖤

During lockdown in 2020, I threw out all my brushes and gradually started to buy new ones. I began to watch Alicia Archer (KinkySweat) and that was the beginning of the end. She has the BEST brush reviews and tutorials. I started to learn about, appreciate, and buy Fude brushes and you’d better believe I learned how to clean them. Since I have several of each kind now as well as several sets- ( Sonya G., Wayne Goss, and Sigma, including your brush set ( I LOVE the 4DHD precision). I can go a week and not clean them. Every weekend I take the group of used ones and do my little cleaning ritual and actually enjoy it. ( mind you, I’m retired) I let them hang in the holder for at least 48 hours. Thanks for the sink hint.I was using a shallow bowl and changed the water 2-3 times. Your idea is easier.

Really useful info! Thank you Robert <3 Hot tip for restoring synthetic brushes that flare or lose shape: boil water and pour into a mug and then dip your brushes in the water (not the entire brush in case the glue that bonds the brush part to the handle is melted) for a minute or so and it'll restore the shape. If you'd rather buy a new brush, then do that. But this is really helps with incidents that involve your fave brushes being ruined :)

[chrlalmighty]

my favourite thing for drying is to lay a towel flat on my desk and the edge at the back i roll forward until it forms a little sausage/sushi roll at the back. then i can prop the handles on that part and the brush angled toward the front of my desk and it means if any water did get in the barrel it can run down and out!! :-)

Happy Wednesday, Robert!! I am soooo lookong forward to this post. I think your soothing voice might be the one thing to keep me from smacking someone out today. UPDATE: I cleaned my brushes today (😉)💕🖤💕🖤💕🖤💕🖤💕🖤
