as well as by “gunk,” I indicate all of that nasty stuff that develops up between the teeth of your lash comb — the mascara, eye liner, eyeshadow, feline hair (don’t judge)…

I utilized to clean my lash comb with makeup wipes. I’d run them up as well as down the teeth of the comb to whisk away any type of gunky leftover makeup, as well as it worked well enough, I guess…because it got out a lot of of the gunk, however I’d still see bits as well as bobs method down in there between the teeth.

I don’t do that anymore, though, since I’ve discovered a much better solution.

A toothbrush!

It hit me (the idea, not the toothbrush) after this publish about kitchen area tools. I was wondering exactly how the heck I was going to clean the small bit teeth on my new julienne tool, as well as Sandra, one of the gals who comments on MBB (hi, Sandra!), pointed out that toothbrushes are excellent for getting in between small spaces.

Hmm…

If they’re great sufficient to clean julienne tools, why not lash combs?

So I grabbed a crusty lash comb (ewww… TMI, I know), an additional toothbrush that I had in my shower room cupboard as well as some eye makeup remover. then I wet the toothbrush head with the makeup cleaner as well as cleaned my lash comb with it, just like I clean my teeth. Up as well as down, left as well as right, as well as around in bit circles.

Voila! It eliminated every last morsel of leftover makeup — including the stuff stuck between the teeth.

Note: if you try this at home, I suggest utilizing a toothbrush with rigid bristles.

And, obvs, please don’t reuse the exact same toothbrush to clean your teeth (gross, dude!).

Oh! This likewise works well with gnarly brow combs.
