The controversial viral video of how to wash makeup brushes

TikTok has become the platform par excellence when looking for beauty and style tips. On the social network there are many tiktokters who succeed with their express makeup videos, how to get the perfect eyeliner or very useful recommendations for fixing dresses that are too big or adjusting wide-waisted jeans.

Some tricks that sometimes do not quite convince a part of his followers. This is the case of Gabriela Barragán, who has published a controversial video in which she shows how to wash makeup brushes in a way that is not entirely effective, especially if you want to prolong the useful life of these utensils.

The tiktokter teaches that she cleans brushes, brushes, and sponges in the washing machine. In the video you can see how he introduces a large number of elements into the drum and immediately activates the machine to wash all the brushes. Once she has finished the program, she places them on a towel to dry.

A fast technique, and also surprising, which does not seem the most appropriate at the moment, since, as can be read in several comments on the publication, a lot of water is spent. Others have also assured that it is bad for the metal of the brushes to continuously wet it in the washing machine, in fact, a girl who has tried this procedure expresses her discomfort at how some of her brushes have turned out.

Others also recommend some tricks to the tiktokter to avoid damaging the utensils, such as putting them in a pillowcase or in the special bag for washing delicate bras and panties.

It should be remembered that the most effective and cheapest trick to properly wash brushes and brushes is to do it by hand. Soap and water are needed to avoid damaging the bristles, as well as an exfoliating glove to carry out the process. A drop of soap is placed in the palm of the hand, the area is moistened and then each utensil is gently rubbed in circular movements. Little by little the product will disappear and the brush will return to its original state. It should be cleaned well with water and allowed to dry, always in a horizontal position to preserve the bristles and maintain their shape.
