Most make-up brands have their own brush cleansers available, however, it is not necessary to spend a huge amount of money to keep your brushes clean and fresh. If you do not have any make-up brush cleanser, you can wash your brushes using water and mild baby shampoo, or use the recipe below for an awesome DIY cleanser...we just love! Often using a store bought brush cleanser can often be easier, quicker and more convenient! They are also great for day to day cleaning. However, it is recommend that you give your brushes a 'deep' clean once a week. Here are two amazing brush cleansers we recommend for daily use:  1. MAC Brush Cleanser Like all other MAC products, this is fabulous. This is an alcohol-based cleaner, and is great for breaking down make-up residue that other brush cleaners often can not remove. This cleanser is really effective, easy to use, and is specifically formulated to prolong the life of your brushes. MAC is available at certain Edgars stores, or you can shop online. This cleanser retails for approximately R170 and we think it is well worth it.  2. Fresh in a Flash This make-up brush cleanser is made for the awesome Rubybox team, that is based in Cape Town. It is very really quick and easy to use. All you do is spray it on your brush, wipe on a tissue and allow it to air-dry. We love how easily it fits into a make-up bag, so it's a must have for all ladies who travel a lot. At R69,95 it is reasonably priced and very effective. It is available online through the Rubybox website.

Love The femme fatale ladies xxx Foundation is generally the first makeup product we apply, and acts as a base for all of the other products we use to create the perfect look. It is important that you use the correct tools, and the finger tips are definitely the wrong way to apply foundation. Using our finger tips can introduce bacteria on to our skin and gives a streaky uneven finish. To help our lovely femme fatale ladies out with which tool is best, we decided to put some information together about the best foundation applying tools.
 Flat Foundation Brush The flat foundation brush is usually made of synthetic fibres and has a slightly rounded, flat tip. This is best used in a circular motion, starting with sculpting from the cheeks and moving up to the hairline. This brush glides beautifully over your skin allowing you to blend liquid foundation easily, creating a flawless look.

Love The femme fatale ladies XXX When it comes to applying Make-up, sometimes we forget that the tools we use are probably the most important assets in our Make-up bag. Choosing the correct make-up brushes are an investment as they do have a relatively long life span, if cared for properly. Good quality brushes can help you achieve great flawless make-up with very little effort.  Makeup brushes from beautytips4her.com So how do you choose the right brushes? Well most say that the brand names, like MAC are the best, but many of the smaller brand names, or even the ones you can purchase at pharmacies like Dis-Chem and Clicks or a make-up store, are just as good and are a bit more affordable. The most important things to think about when choosing make-up brushes is:
Remember there are different sizes and shapes for a reason, each one has their own function. Therefore, one make-up brush is not sufficient for every application.  Brushes by makeupforgeneration.blogspot.com Brushes are made with different types of hair (bristles), you get natural hair, real hair, fake hair (plastic) or synthetic. The real or natural hair brushes, tend to be a bit more expensive but they are awesome for dry make-up, like powder and blush. Synthetic brushes on the other hand are great for wet make-up, like foundation, as they do not stick or clog up.
Brushes made with the correct materials and that are good quality will not lose bristles, and will ensure a beautiful finish as they do not stick or snag on your skin.
