Cleaning your makeup brushes is essential. Firstly, makeup brushes often collect lots of bacteria (just think of the bacteria your concealer brush collects from one use on your blemishes!) and if they aren't washed this bacteria can cause spots. Secondly, makeup brushes tend to be pretty expensive and by cleaning them you will be ensuring that they last longer. When I first got into makeup and used really cheap brushes I never realised that it was important to clean your brushes, however, now I try to make sure I deep clean all of my brushes at least once a week to ensure they don't become breeding grounds for bacteria.
To deep clean your brushes people use different things, some like to use Brush Cleaners such as MAC Brush Cleaner (although I recommend this more for spot cleaning rather than a deep cleanse) while others use things such as a shampoo. I use Johnson's baby shampoo as baby shampoo is less harsh on your brushes than normal shampoo. Johnson's is also pretty cheap, costing £3.35 for a 500ml bottle at
Boots. I really like this shampoo for my brushes as I find it cleans them thoroughly and there isn't excess product in the brushes.
