I think Target carries some pretty good brushes.... The best way to keep your brushes in good shape and clean is to soak them in warm soapy water then let them air dry.....

If you want a very good set of make up brushes I would suggest my personal favorite:

Studio Direct Professional 12 piece makeup brush kit. This currently retails for $54.99. This set includes everything you would ever need in a brush set:

Deluxe Soft Fan
Angle Liner
Pointed Liner
Brow/Lash Groomer
Flocked Sponge
Pro Spoolie
Sable Lip Liner with Cover
Oval Fluff
Deluxe Shadow
Chisel Deluxe Fluff
Angle Blush
Chisel Powder


And if you want to clean the ones that you have remember that makeup brushes can harbor lots of dirt and bacteria. However, frequent washing of your makeup brushes can keep them - and your face - clean and healthy. Below are some tips and pointers on how to keep your makeup brushes clean.

  • Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water.
  • Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather
  • Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water. You will notice that the water leaving the brush is tinted from old makeup.
  • Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush
  • Allow it to air-dry.
jQuery('.article ol .image').each(function(i,e){ var $this = jQuery(this); $this.find('img').error(function(){ jQuery(this).remove(); $this.remove(); }); }); END TAG Begin comScore Tag document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + (document.location.protocol == "https:" ?

Makeup brush cleaner is very expensive so I would recommend used gentle baby shampoo first then soak them in a tbsp of vinegar and warm water. You need the anti-bacterial properties of the vinegar to properly clean your brushes. Then leave them out over night to dry.
For a set of new brushes, I would recommend Shu Uemura 4 pcs set. It is on sale right now.

Make up brushes are a must for putting on your makeup perfectly and to enhance your looks!  I would definitely recommend the 7 piece collection from Target by Sonia Kashuk.  http://www.target.com It is $19.00, but it is meant to not wear down as quickly as some of the cheaper brushes will. It even comes with a bag to put your brushes in.  Target also sells some less expensive make up brushes that are a good quality for under $10.00.  You can find those in the store.

Now if you want to keep the ones you have and get them cleaned for longer use, here are some quick and easy steps to get them clean:

  1. Run the bristles of the makeup brush under warm running water.
  2. Apply a small amount of shampoo to bristles and work into a light lather.
  3. Rinse bristles thoroughly under running water. You will notice that the water leaving the brush is tinted from old makeup.
  4. Continue rinsing until no color leaves the brush.
  5. Allow it to air-dry.
Enjoy applying your makeup and getting the look you want!  It is so fun!
