to\u00a0save money,\u201d Ellen explained. \u201cThat means even with a brand you know and like, the holiday palette is often chalky and not very good.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>She also suggested letting foundations dry before buying in order to ensure they\u2019re a proper match.<\/p>\n<p>Testing mascaras in beauty stores is also a big no-no. \u201cEye infections are just not worth it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@askellenbeauty\/video\/7128890779912654081\">follow-up video<\/a>, the makeup artist showed viewers how to properly wash the brushes using a small squeeze bottle of quick-drying spray by squirting a few spritzes on a cotton pad.<\/p>\n<p>She then took her dirty brushes and scrubbed them vigorously until the gunky makeup wiped off, noting the whole cleaning process takes a mere 30 seconds to perfect thanks to Cinema Secrets\u2019 makeup brush cleanser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo excuses,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>A United Kingdom study published earlier this year revealed that makeup brushes can actually be dirtier than a toilet, with microscopic photos showing the brushes full of mold, bacteria, yeast and other nightmarish microbes.<\/p>\n<figure

the amount of bacteria that could potentially sit on a makeup brush,\u201d Dr. Suhail Alam, medical director at the Aventus Clinic, which conducted the research, told Jam Press in April.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven after a person uses a makeup brush for the first time, it will already be forming colonies of bacteria,\u201d Alam said. \u201cWith daily use, the brushes will automatically start collecting dirt, pollutants, oil and dead skin cells, which is why makeup brushes act as a breeding ground for bacteria which can lead to breakouts and skin irritations.\u201d\n
