I replace my mascara every 4 months; I have really sensitive eyes so I'm paranoid. Spot clean my eye makeup brushes every day and wash them once a week, face brushes I wash twice a week.

I clean my foundation brush every time I use it and the others... once every week or 2? I don't use them every day... As far as mascara goes, I'm pretty terrible with the 3 month thing. I basically throw them out when they stop working or I look at them and can't even remember when I bought them anymore...

I usually just clean my brushes whenever I feel like they need it. I actually just got done cleaning them all. :) I toss my mascara whenever I finish it. I don't work so I'm not going to waste the money I do get buying new mascaras every 3-4 months. I've never had a problem with my mascaras giving me eye infections or anything so I'm not really worried about it.

I don't clean my brushes very often cause most of the time I forget or I don't have the right cleaning products for it so they can stay at their same texture and softness but mascara I don't replace that till its gone and mascara for me lasts a long time

I clean my makeup brushes once every week or once every two weeks, it really depends on the frequency of use; sometimes I don't use them at all for two weeks so whatever. I deep clean every time. As for mascara, I'm really bad with throwing them away, I only do it when they dry up lol

I make sure to clean it after I have used it for three times! I don't want bacteria to collect on my brush, because it comes into contact with your face! I don't want to end up in breakouts.
