Zoomed in photos show us just how FILTHY makeup brushes are

Does the idea of cleaning your makeup brushes just seem like the biggest ordeal EVER? Yeah… same.

Experts say we should be cleaning our cosmetic utensils at least once a month… which sounds excessive, but it's actually not.

A Reddit user recently shared a number of super-zoomed photos of her three-week-old makeup brushes, and all we can say is EWWW. 

The user used an iPhone and a Mpow macro lens to capture the true nastiness behind applying makeup. 

Dirty brushes are not just gross, they can cause your skin to break out and the likes. 

While we appreciate that dirty brushes are a concern, sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

If you need us, we'll be at home SCRUBBING all our brushes.
