1. Clean your makeup brushes with baby shampoo and olive oil.
Makeup brushes can get pretty disgusting over time. You should try to give them a quick cleanse every week. Wet your bristles and place a few drops of baby shampoo and olive oil in the palm of your hand. Swirl the bristles around and rinse with cool water. Lay flat to dry or use a handy makeup brush drying rack.
2. At least once a week, clean your eye pencil sharpener, tweezers and razors with rubbing alcohol.
