Use rubbing alcohol and wipe the products off between uses.

I don't know if this is good, like for clients and such because of allergy reasons but for personal use maybe submerge your brushes in olive oil for 5-10 minutes and voila! Clean. Also use rubbing alcohol for the handles, etc.

Michelle Phan made a nice video on it!! :) It was adding vegetable oil and dish soap. It sounds confusing when I explain but the video really helped me!

For liquid foundations you want to use pumps so bacteria doesn't get it, even using a pump from a different brand, as long as it fits. You always want to clean your brushes between clients because that is the most sanitary way to go about it. Oh and never use applicators that come with the packaging, for mascaras and things use clean spoolies and always wash between clients.

I third Megan. If you're using anything with a squeeze tip make sure to continue to squeeze when applying it to the surface (pallet, hand, etc) then cap it. That way no bacteria can come back in to the product. (Hard to explain). Also beauty so clean is a miracle. There is a spray and wipes that completely sanitize all powders, creams, lipsticks without compromising the product. They make a brush cleaner too that works well at spot cleaning but isn't my fave.

Hand sanitizer as soon as you get in the room. Make sure your client sees you sanitize your hands too. Brush spray with antibacterial properties. If you are doing more than one client at a time, keep 3 brushes on hand and rotate between them like this: Use brush one, sanitize with brush spray, move to brush 2, spray, brush 3, spray. That way by the time you are done with the 3rd the other two are sanitized and ready to use and the 3rd will be ready to use. It's great for keeping product buildup on your brushes to a minimum and keeping them clean between touch ups. Also, scrap products out and put them onto a palette. Never use something directly from the container aside from powders. Powder doesn't hold bacteria as much because its dry so bacteria can't grow as much, where as liquids will promote bacteria growth. For mascara and lipgloss get disposable wands and don't double dip them into the containers. Or you can use a lip brush but obviously make sure you sanitize it after or have a couple more on hand for other clients. Definitely deep clean all brushes and products at the end of the day.
