While it’s not quite as painful tossing inexpensive brushes after they look like they’ve seen better days, that just isn’t an option with pricey brushes…and some makeup brushes are quite the investment! Enter brush cleansers. Sure, you can see the makeup lingering on there, but what you can’t see is the dirt, oil and bacteria.

Easy to get (available at MAC stores, counters & the website)Īlthough the price is high, the MAC Brush Cleanser is my favourite choice for when I need to clean my brushes, so I had to give it a high score.Although some of us put cleaning our makeup brushes on the back burner (present company included), it really is important to take the time out and scrub.Disinfects & conditions bristles (Didn’t notice any damage or fraying).Cleans makeup brushes fast & effectively.The Mac Brush Cleanser cleans lightning fast, which is perfect if you have a busy lifestyle (haha, or not much patience). (Even though it’s cheaper, probably using straight up rubbing alcohol would damage the bristles, right?)Īnd, although I sometimes use dish detergent, I don’t always like it because you have to rinse for a long time to get all the suds out. I also like how it disinfects at the same time. Yes, the MAC Brush Cleanser is quite pricey at $18 CAD for this bottle, but I find that it cleans pretty quickly, which is important to me. The brush is usually pretty dry immediately after, so I can use it again right away. Then, I gently wipe my makeup brush on the area. Then, I rinse the brush thoroughly, reshape the bristles, and then allow it to air-dry.įor spot cleaning, I like to put some of the MAC Brush Cleanser into a little travel spray bottle and spritz some onto a piece of paper towel. I guess you could put some in a little container, but I like to put some in my hand and then swirl a damp brush in it. The MAC Brush Cleanser is so easy to use. Interestingly enough, even though there’s alcohol in it, it doesn’t seem to dry out my bristles by making them feel or look brittle. I also like how my brushes seem to dry faster when I use the MAC Brush Cleanser, but that’s probably because it contains some alcohol. The only thing is that sometimes with natural hair, you may need to clean the bristles twice to fully get everything out. I’ve used it on all kinds of brushes, from those with natural hair to synthetic hair, and it works the same on all of them. Whenever I’ve used the MAC Brush Cleanser, it has always left the bristles on my brushes looking great, so I do believe that it cleanses gently, but effectively.

Plus you can use it for spot cleaning, which I do more often than deep cleansing. However, I really prefer the MAC Brush Cleanser because it also disinfects as it cleanses. I haven’t tried a lot of brush cleansers on the market, but this is my favourite, despite it being pricey.Īnd sometimes when I’ve been in a pinch, I’ve used just simple dish detergent and water to clean my brushes. Well, this time, right when I got it, I snapped photos of it immediately, so I wouldn’t forget.
