How To Clean Fenty Brush

There's no excuse for dirty brushes.

Washing our makeup brushes is like eating healthy and exercising. We know we're supposed to do it often but don't.

It's 2020 and if you aren't aware that you should be washing your brushes EVERY. SINGLE. DAY., well, shame on you. That said, washing your makeup brushes is a chore.All that time could be put to good use doing things like watching Netflix, making vegan-friendly spaghetti, or attempting amua-approved cut crease for the 50th time.

However, when we do eventually bite the bullet and clean our brushes, we feel a thousand times better. There's nothing like bouncing a squeaky cleanBeauty Blender on your face, knowing you're not just spreading around caked-on makeup from past uses. Not only is cleaning your tools important to keep them around longer, but it also rids them of bacteria build-up that can causebreakouts.

So since makeup brushes need to be cleaned and sterilized frequently, why is it so daunting? Good news—it doesn't have to be, thanks to Rihanna. From the specially designed asymmetrical cheek-hugging brush to theflat-to-fat mascara wand, Fenty Beauty has been dropping unique and innovative-minded products since the launch of its initial 40-foundation shade range. Now, Rihanna has done it again with a game-changing, lightweight dry brush-cleansing sponge.

Dry Brush Cleaning Sponge, €20, Fenty Beauty available at Harvey Nichols

It's a super-light tin with an accompanying black, tough-textured sponge inside. Ideal for when you're working with a couple of different eye or lip colours at once, you simply d ip your brush into this dry sponge that removes colour in a flash so you can continue using the same brush while you swap colours quickly. Just remember to clean out the sponge every so often to remove the excess pigment.

Of course, it's not comparable to a full, scrubbing session with soap, water and a brush cleaner, but it definitely does the job and is a really compact tin meaning you can take it with you everywhere.
