getting make-up off of make-up haters

much like the cowboys dislike of make-up...I frequently encounter many others that can't wait to scrape, scrub, or smear it off...

namely men, kids don't seem to care, and women who wear no more than chapstick...

so on my journey I've dicovered some make-up removers I love:

here are the winners:

if you have access to water...then I love the disposable washclothes from Huggies

they fold open like a real washcloth size

they are textured so it really cleans your skin

they are hypo-allergenic and smell nice

Kandee tip: I take them with me when I travel so I have a sanitary means of washing my face...I am kinda a mild germaphobe...so I don't really like using hotel washclothes on my face....who knows what those things have scrubbed...yuck)

If you need to get make-up off, on-the-spot style...then I like:

Pond's Make-up Remover Towelettes- they work really well, but I can't stand the smell...they are a lot cheaper than the MAC make-up removers..and when you go through as many as I can on a shoot...I just try not to breathe the stink in...

How to Clean Make-Up Brushes

TA-DA! I finally conquered my video software dilemmas...yay!

And now you can go out in the world...armed with the knowledge of how to properly cleanse your make-up brushes...look out world!

things you'll need to begin the conquering:

dirty brushes

paper towels

baby shampoo or gentle/moisturizing shampoo

extra virgin olive oil (no exceptions on the oil, no cooking oils......)

Make-up brushes accumulate oils from the skin, as well as the pigments, waxes, and emollients in make-up. These ingredients and oils, do not dissolve in water (they're designed that way so they don't come off easily), so they require the "like dissolves like" theory....oils dissolve oil.

The olive oil will dissolve and loosen all the make-up from the fibers of the brush, so you can just suds em' up, and they're good as new.

You can also use olive oil as an eye make-up remover...great for your lashes and skin as well...and considering you can buy a gallon of olive oil for about $25 bucks....it'll be the cheapest make-up remover you'll ever have.
