It's awesome idea to use make up brush as mop or blending brush but how to clean that brush post use plz tell that

[@murrayinnandartgalleryform9262]

I clean the brushes with water and hands. Sometimes I add hand soap to help washing.

Thank you!

You use water as well?

[@strongjohn7078]

Are you dipping your brush in water at all during this

[@murrayinnandartgalleryform9262]

On top left corner there is a water bottle. I dip the foundation brush in water to wash off paint, but I don't use water to help blending. I don't put any water on the big mop brush until finishing the background.

makeup brushes work the best!

[@farinabashir6102]

Why two layers?

[@Brightsupernova]

Use paint retardant and you can blend till the cows come home. There are a MILLION of them on the market, thick gel, thin gel, iridescent, glossy, matte, floetrol (a small amount, not as much they use to pour)

[@deltapower]

Add some water to blend. Keep adding colours is a waste
