Am I the only geek who loves giving her brushes a bath?
Gawd, what a geek I am.

It's a ritual I just love, lining up all my dirty MAC brushes and lovingly washing each one of them, and then lining them up, all purty-like to dry.

I think I need therapy.

Mine is like a chore, I have to make myself. But I have like almost 40 brushes and I think all but 2 are mac (not that that matters whatsoever) but I just always feel like I don't have time and then when I go to put on browns or neutrals and there is pink e/s still on the brush I wanna kick myself lol...and it's all my own fault for neglecting the poor brushes.

Hahah I was beginning to think I was the odd one for disliking it! Everyone else seems to love it, maybe I'm missing out on some amazing part of the process

I agree if anyone has a trick/tip to make this better I'd also like to know!

I go through love/hate stages, I've been ignoring it for a while, but usually I like doing them all in a row. That sounds a bit sus, doesn't it...?

Haha, I love washing mine! I even have a special towel for them. When I am done, I line them up according to size and admire then.

DORKNESS!

I hate washing mine, and I delay as long as possible - I'll rinse out right away when I'm using something with a ton of pigment, or a paint, and just leave it on my counter, but otherwise, I'm horrible...especially with my 150 big fluffy powder brush...I use it every day, and I'm sooooooooooooooooooo lazy about washing it.

I don't like washing mine but I do it regularly anyway. I can't stand the thought of using a dirty brush on my face.
