foundation brush (though these days i prefer to use my fingers) – after every application
lip brush – after every application
eyeshadow brushes – once a week
large brushes (powder/blush/kabuki) – once in two weeks

i’ve noticed that my foundation applies better with my fingers. maybe because it’s quite liquidy and runny? using a brush was actually taking away the dewiness from the foundation.
my foundation actually applies better and creamier than my moisturiser!

I also love applying my foundation with fingers. I don’t have to worry about streaks or product wastage at all. Infact even with my MAC Mineralize foundation, sometimes I just scoop it on my spoon and apply it with fingers. I love the finish that ways.
Some people say that the warmth and oils in finger tips change the foundation colour. Never faced such a problem. Infact I do most of my makeup with my fingers. I even blend my blush with fingers at times.
i feel that the warmth of the skin actually HELPS in blending the foundation better, something that a brush can never impart. maybe if it came with a built in bulb or something :-P
Actually, I use fingers for foundation, rest of all the brushes, I wash it every week…….Rati’s post on how to clean brushes was very useful, I follow the same way.
Usually once a week. I read in Vogue that the best way to clean your brushes is by dipping them in a cap full of Shampoo and then wash the brushes with cold water. That really helps!

I follow the same routine, but I am not very strict about it :-( The powder brushes though get washed very properly, though.
Same!!
Just that I wash my powder brushes once in every 10 days .
It feels so good after washing brushes. That clean clean feeling is very satisfying.

me too use ur tips (Rati) for cleaning my makeup brushes..work wonders for them.. :-D
Great.
As a rule of thumb, brushes used for liquid or creamy products should be washes after every use to avoid bacterial contamination..
Brushes used for powders can be washed once a week or fortnight depending on frequency of use.. :-)) :-)) :-))
Agree, M. 100%
hey can we clean lip brush olive oil
You can, Prachi but you must follow up with shampoo cleaning for sure.
