Nina asks :
What is the best way to clean my make-up brushes? I have both synthetic hairs and natural haired brushes and I don't want to ruin them.

It's important to clean your make-up brushes as often as you can, to ensure no nasty germs are lurking.
If you don't clean then, you'll just be rubbing all of that built-up dirt around your face on a daily basis. Yuck.
You can of course buy specialist make-up brush cleaners from the likes of MAC and Urban Decay - which are brilliant, if not a little costly. But you could also use a gentle foaming cleanser like Simple to clean them.
The important thing to remember is to ensure the water is running clean, use the tap to clean them to ensure you've rinsed them properly, and lie them flat to dry. You don't want water seeping into the handle otherwise the bristles with come loose of the handle.
There's nothing quite like using a clean brush to create a flawless face, so keep them clean with these tips.
