Make Up 101: Spot Cleaning

Good day ladies. ^___^

Today...I nak cerita pasal spot cleaning the brush. Hehehe. :D Mesti you girls dah bosan erk pasal cuci cuci brush ni. Bukan nya apa...for me...cantik macamana pun make up...if tak jaga hygiene...tak bagus jugak kan? Heee....penjagaan alatan make up sama pentingnya dengan technique make up. Dua-dua akan menampakkan ke-profesional-an orang yang make up tu. *kan Amy (my MUA) kan?* Hehehe.

Kenapa spot cleaning ni penting? Let say...you girls ada satu je eyeshadow brush. Pastu you girls nak guna dua eyeshadows untuk technique half smokey. This is where spot cleaning ni berguna. You girls boleh spot clean dulu the brush...before pakai satu lagi eyeshadow. Tujuannya, supaya color yang kita pakai tu tak bercampur aduk jadi muddy color. Betul tak? Heeee....ada few techniques jugak nak spot cleaning ni.

Ini bahan-bahan nya ye puan-puan *tetiba keluar slang Chef Wan* Heheheee...

Minyak Zaitun, or make up brush cleanser. AND paper towel/tissue.

Spot clean ni tak susah pun. Cara paling cepat nak spot clean is by using paper towel. Just rub the brush against it sampai brush bersih. Then boleh guna balik brush tu untuk tujuan lain. ^_^

Cara kedua nak spot clean..is by using brush cleanser. As I said in the previous post pasal Deep Clean (part 1 and part 2), brush cleanser ni macam mahal sikit untuk digunakan dalam deep clean. So I pakai untuk spot clean je. Efektif dan cepat. At the same time dia lembutkan bristle brush tu. ^_^

Caranya....first tuangkan sikit brush cleanser kat paper towel...sikit je dah cukup for a brush.

Pour some liquid on the paper towel

Untuk demonstration kali ni I guna Crease Brush (a type of blending brush jugak) sebab I baru guna the brush weekend lepas. So I need to spot clean it. Hehehe.

Take out the brush

Then, rub the brush kat paper towel area yang ada brush cleanser tadi. As you girls can see....I baru run it sekali kat cleanser tu..terus keluar some eyeshadow residue. ^_^

Run the brush over

Ini pulak hasilnya selepas dah rub banyak-banyak kali. Now the brush is ready for another color. ^_^

Finish. The brush is clean again. ^_^

Cara kedua is by using Minyak Zaitun aka Olive oil...banyak guna nya. One of them is to remove makeup (my entry on this HERE). Another one is to remove oil-based make up kat brushes contohnya gel liners or concealer or even lipstick. ^_^ Meh sini I nak cerita macamana nak spot clean guna olive oil. Heeee. ^_^

First off....pour sikit kat paper towel. Sikit je cukup. ^_^ Brush yang I akan guna is my gel liner brush. FYI, oil-based makeup macam gel liners etc memang susah nak guna cara pertama and kedua tadi untuk spot clean. Sebab oil-based makeup ni biasanya akan mengeras kat bristles brush tu. Jadi if guna olive oil, residue tu akan cair dan buatkan dia senang nak spot clean.

Then...macam biasa....rub it in. Hehe. See. The paper towel dah jadi hitam. Heeee :D

Rub it in until it's clean

Literally brush ni dah bersih at this stage. But wait....untuk make sure the brush is really clean....guna cara kedua tadi untuk lembutkan balik the bristles. ^_^

Use the brush cleanser to condition the bristles of the brush.

Haaa...dah siap. Ready untuk digunakan balik. Heeee. ^_^ So girls. I harap this entry akan bantu you girls yang kesuntukan masa nak spot clean the brush masa tengah make up. But make sure you ambil sedikit masa untuk deep clean the brushes once a week or once in two weeks. Orait. ^__^ Who wants make up tutorial? Heeee XD
