Different Methods to Clean Your Makeup Brushes

When it comes to makeup brush cleaning, there are a number of different ways you can tackle the task. From specialized brush shampoos and cleansers to DIY mixtures, there is a wide variety of products and methods to choose from.

1. Use a Brush Cleanser

If you"re new to the makeup brush cleaning game, a straightforward brush cleaner is a great place to start,We love using a solid soap.

Begin by dampening your dirty brush in lukewarm water to get the bristles wet. Make sure you always wet your brushes upside down so water doesn’t get into the ferrule (the metal part below the bristles) and dissolve the glue over time. Then swirl the wet brush over the hard soap until it gets foamy. Once the brush bristles have been thoroughly coated in the soap, gently massage the bristles with your hand, and rinse the soap out completely. Watch as all the excess makeup and dirt wash out of the brush and straight down the drain.

2. Use a brush cleanser tool

3. Use a DIY cleanser

Busy schedules and tight budgets don’t always allow for new makeup brush cleansers and tools. Thankfully, a number of DIY recipes will work in a pinch to clean your makeup brushes.

Mild Shampoos:

Using gentle soaps like baby shampoo can effectively remove dirt and grime from brush bristles. If you're not using a specialized brush cleaner, just make sure you're paying special attention to the ingredients listed in your DIY cleanser of choice. Remember that this brush is going to be all over for your face, so it's wise to steer clear of anything with parabens, sulfates, or any other questionable ingredients.

To wash your brush with mild cleansers like these, simply squeeze a few drops onto the back of your hand, run the makeup brush under lukewarm water, and swirl it around in the soap, using your fingers to massage the brush bristles until the water runs clear. Then set aside to dry completely on a towel.

Dish soap and olive oil:

Another popular home remedy for dirty brushes is to wash them in a mixture of antibacterial dish soap and olive oil. The dish soap can kill germs while the oil can effectively break down any built-up product in the brush. It’s important to use olive oil here as dish soap alone would be too harsh and could damage your brushes.

It's also worth noting that if you have sensitive skin, you may want to stick with using a specialized brush cleanser or a mild shampoo as dish soap often includes more aggressive detergents and could cause skin irritation for these skin types.

To try this method, mix two parts dish soap with one part olive oil in a small bowl. Swirl your makeup brush in the soapy mixture, then, rinse the brush thoroughly under lukewarm water until the soap and gunk slide away into the sink. Finally, lay it flat on a towel to dry completely.
