Whores Wear Rouge...Ladies Pinch Their Cheeks

Here's a quick tip that will help keep your brushes in great shape for years to come! Makeup brushes are 5star hotels for pathogenic bacteria! That's why it's very important to give your brushes a deep clean at least once a week and after every client for professional MUAs.
