    Counters don't wash their foundation brushes? Whaaat?

    I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and the subject of foundation brushes came up. She was saying that you're not supposed to wash them, because when you do the brush soaks up more of the product than you put on your face. I disagreed, saying that if you don't wash them after you use...
