The first thing is to run each brush tip under lukewarm water. Makeup and sebum can make brush tips pasty. Running it under the lukewarm water loosens the build-up. Make sure you're wetting just the tip of your brush, below the ferrule, and not the whole brush. Running the whole brush under warm water tends to loosen the connective glue, making the bristle head shaky. Additionally, water can get inside the brush, leading to mildew and mold.
