Introduction & Makeup Brush Cleaning

Being my 1st entry, I would like to accomplish a few things.
First, I would like to introduce myself. I am Samantha and I am a 22 year old student at a University in South Florida. I was a freelance makeup artist for 4 years, but recently I have decided to place my priorities elsewhere and focus on becoming a Doctor. I worked for Mac Cosmetics and have a vast array of knowledge of not only Mac products but of many products, ranging from drug store cosmetics to high end cosmetics.
Secondly, I would like to explain the purpose of this blog. My purpose in writing this is to inform, help, and communicate with others who have the same or similar interest.
And finally, I would like to share a video on the most basic of techniques: brush cleansing.

Brush cleansing is so important because without proper brush care, you are vulnerable to bacteria, which could cause facial blemishes, discoloration, and rarely, disease. Brush cleaning not only minimizes these risks, but it also gives your brushes a clean canvas which makes the colors you choose to apply go on smoother, more true in color, and make them easier to blend. The YouTube clip below is from a fellow Professional Mac Makeup Artist, whom I know very well. He is incredibly talented, and I can assure you I will be posting more of his videos in the future.
