You'll need: brushes, baby shampoo, a sink, kitchen paper/towel and your hand or a cleansing pad if you have one. I have this one from Primark which is meant to be used for your face but it's ideal for cleaning brushes.
If you're doing them at the sink, like I am then, you should run the tap with warm water. It's bad for the brushes if you use boiling hot water as it damages the glue where the synthetic brush hairs are, making them malt.
Squirt some of the baby shampoo onto the pad, or your hand, then begin swirling your brush around on the pad, this will make the shampoo lather enabling you to get all the dirt out.
Like so... You'll want to repeat these steps for all your brushes.
Once you've cleaned one brush you should lay it down on the kitchen roll or a towel. Putting the brushes alternate ways will allow the brushes hairs to have optimum space to dry and not run the excess water into another brush. You should leave your brushes to dry overnight at a window sill as they can catch the sun's rays, in the day and morning, which will make them dry quicker. Another technique that you can use is to stand them up against the window so the brush hairs are facing downwards onto the tissue, this will allow everything to drain out of the brushes.
