i think its so nice to see someone who talks about about beauty just casually say "i didn't feel like putting on makeup" that's really powerful, love it!

As MUA's, we have a ton of makeup. I am retired now, but still have brushes and makeup galore. My squirrel-hair and natural brushes are so important to me. I will never be able to get them again, so I really need to take good care of them. One person uses Micellar water, which sounds like a good idea. Anyway, I love your videos. Keep it up!

You are exactly what clients are looking for. Being treated with clean, sanitized and even sterilized a bit means everything. Too many people in the beauty field do not commit to practicing proper sanitation and/or sterilization procedures.

Hi Elle, I spent 2 days reorganizing and decluttering my makeup and skincare stuff. Now I think I’ll spend the weekend cleaning it all! Thanks for this video, hope you’re well during this unfortunate situation!

[maritaind]

Thanks for this vid. I learned so many things here. My mother never cared for makeup, and I really did not care at all until I got 41, so I am teaching myself now in my forties.
I hope you and your family are doing good :-)

This was EXACTLY what I wanted to learn! How exciting. The oil with the dish soap, dating your products & cleaning the brush handles. All things I can now put in to practice. Thank you so much sweetie! Stay safe, stay healthy. Xxoo's....
PS-your hair looks adorbs🙂

Great video! So timely, too. Been doing this for years (retired cosmetologist), but everyone doesn't know this, and everyone needs to be reminded! Lots of great tips, too. There's always something new. Thanks. ⚘

Hey! Thanks so much for this video — super helpful and informative. I really appreciate it! I did want to let you know that using OCD as an adjective, and synonym for being cleanly, can be hurtful to folks with OCD, like myself. OCD is a really complex and challenging mental illness that is so much more than just wanting things to be clean. Totally not trying to call you out, but rather call you in and share some knowledge just like you did with us today! Hope this helps. Take care and thanks again for the tips!

Thanks for this video girly. Just a quick fyi. You always want to disinfect with 71% alchohol. Alcohol has the longest contact time needed out of any disinfectant. Bleach is 60 seconds. Pine sol is 50 alcohol is 100 inorder to disinfect yet it has the quickest absorption rate so it absorbs before its gona disinfect anything. So the higher the % the quicker it absorbs so u want 71% so it can stay in contact long enough without absorbing before doing so. In the hospital we've learned to always use 71% and thats what we use. we leave it wet on the surface for 100 seconds so it will disinfect. Absorbing before that wont be effective. Please note this in comments so people know to use 71 and not 90 thanks girly. you look amazing. Please dont apologize for how u look. That makes me so sad cuz your beautiful and dont need makeup. Silly girl. Love u elle!!

[lrussell]

Thank you. I clean my brushes weekly but had not thought about cleaning my makeup too.

My dear friend who has also been my makeup artist for almost 20 years, he does freelance now but worked for MAC for years as well as being a trainer at cosmetology schools has always told me not to invest in makeup brush cleaners. They are too drying and over time can ruin your brushs. He tells me to use conditioner-just whatever conditioner I would use on my hair and that helps lift the makeup but also conditions and then of course to gently make sure the bristles are in place and lay flat to dry. This is a super similar idea and I love it and will be trying it. Thank you!

[jessicamirny]

Before I even finished this video I went to go wash the brushes I have been using lately... BLOWN away. Nothing has washed them as well as this technique! I ended up washing all of my brushes! Old ones that I could never get makeup residue off of. All I can say is thank you thank you!

[sandrametcalfe]

Thank you. I never would have thought of adding oil to soap. I will try this.

[barbung]

sooo happy you made this video! i have an eye infection and need to sanitize all of my eyeshadows. i trust your advice since you’re a MU!

[karenkeith]

I was always worried about drying out my brushes when cleaning them. Problem solved with the addition of oil to the soap! I want to thank you. I am in my 60s and had given up on makup. But with your help, and a few other u-tubers, I have begun to enjoy makup again. That Cosrx snail mucin is the best! Keep up the good work!

[lindysmallwood]

Hey it me again. Just wanted to say I just recently found you and I am going through and listening to all your videos. I’m a ICU. Nurse, 62 years old and off work due to a injury. So hard not being with my team to take care of our patients. Thank you for helping me learn

[tara]

Love love love this!!!
As a germophobe myself, I totally appreciate this! Always wondered how to sanitize the actual makeup in a palate. Plan on organizing and decluttering my collection, and am definitely going to use these tips!
Thanks girl!!!

[heatherpetrie]

I cannot think of a more timely and helpful video. Very helpful, thank you!

[sherielight]

Well I learned several new things today!! Love the beachy waves. Be blessed.

[suzanneeverly]

I never thought to clean the skincare bottles, brush handles or the inside of a pallet. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I will be cleaning all of my beauty products this way from now on. I appreciate you sharing this with us. Hope you and your family are well.❤
