| Hi Koren, just washed my new MAC 168 for the first time with the MAC brush cleanser & kitchen roll, & I rinsed because it was sudsing... but as i'm watching it dry right now it looks terrible! Nice and clean, but the bristles are misshapen - splaying out in all directions, & some of them even seem 'crimped'!Is there any way for me to rectify this appearance, or at least prevent it from happening to another brush? Sorry I am new to brushes! |

| Also (sorry i couldn't fit this all in one comment lol) I did back and forth motion & drying it flat, re-shaped before drying and it looked fine. It is only now that it is drying it looks funky. Thank you for all your videos and tips, they have been so helpful and we love you here on Youtube! :) |

| hey sparkle - some people do rinse, but I personally find the mixture to be mostly water and no need to rise, I just really wipe it good on a paper towel until all traces of makeup residue is gone. |
| hey unique - some ... ( 4 weeks ago by EnKoreMakeup) |
| hey unique - some people prefer to rinse, but the mixture is actually mostly water so I find I dont need to rinse. If you have senstive skin, you can definitely rinse it if you prefer. |
| hey Jaimes - if its ... ( 4 weeks ago by EnKoreMakeup) |
| hey Jaimes - if its a new brush, definitely give it a good deep-cleaning first using shampoo and warm water. You want to get rid of the starchy coating the apply in the bristles for storage. I have a video on this if that helps. You'll find that the bristles will look better. |

| yeah, most brushe when initially drying does that. Once dry its better as long as you shape the bristles while wet, then just fluff it up when it dries completely. |

| I personally don't as I find the cleanser to be mostly water. Others prefer to give it a rinse. |

| hey gchata - well, it can get expensive if you use those, but they work. The only thing is it doesnt have hair conditioners that will condition the bristles and sanitizer. |

| yeah Im not BIG on using those pads as they are playground for bacterias, much like sponges. They are washable, so you can either hand wash it or throw in the washign machine. As far as the eyeshadow ones - No, they fall apart, so those you will have to throw away -- really look into using brushes. |
