Part V: How to dry your brushes!
Now that your cosmetic brushes are clean, it's time to dry them. Squeeze out the excess water from your brush with your fingers, or with a clean towel, and gently apply pressure to reshape the bristles into their original form.
There are several ways to let brushes dry. One way is to lay the brushes on a clean towel or paper towel on their side, and turn them over periodically to make sure the bristles on the underside dry as well. I prefer to stand mine up in either a toothbrush holder or a drinking cup so that the air dries all sides at the same time. You can also drape the brushes over the side of your sink and let them rest there until dry. Get creative!
The one thing you don't ever want to do is use a hairdryer on them, as this will not only cause frizzy bristles but destroy up the shape of the brush, rendering it pretty much useless. Happy cleaning!
P.S. Now that you know how to clean your cosmetic brushes - look what I just found: brush trees from Benjabelle.com. They work with most major brands of brushes. Aren't these awesome?
