When it comes to beauty, the task doesn’t stop on just finding the cool beauty gadgets that works for you. Part of it is maintenance. That means while you’re taking care of your self, you also have to take care of the beauty tools you use everyday. Makeup brushes for example. Here are 6 makeup brush cleansers you might want to check out as part of your beauty gizmos.
M.A.C makeup brush cleanser, $11. Disinfects and conditions the bristles while removing excess residue at the same time.
Bare Escentuals ‘Well-Cared For’ Brush Conditioning Shampoo, $14.50. Deep-conditioning shampoo specifically for Bare Escentuals brushes. It cleanses and conditions your brushes and helping them prolong the life as well. I love my Bare Escentuals brushes therefore I love this too.
Bobbi Brown Brush Cleanser, $16.50. A little pat comes a long way.
Clinique Makeup Brush Cleanser, $12.50. For monthly cleansing to reach the highest levels of hygiene for brushes.
Smashbox Brush Cleanser, $15. A little spray can do your brushes good.
Estee Lauder Makeup Brush Cleanser, $15. It cleanses, sanitize, and condition both synthetic and natural brushes.
I hope one of these makeup brush cleanser fits your makeup brushes. If not, check out Nordstrom for other brands. Anything as long as you’re taking care of your makeup tools.

Since I sell brushes, in addition to being a self-proclaimed brush whore, I’ve tried all sorts of brush cleaners on both synthetic and natural hair brushes. I have found that Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Soap (the liquid) is by far and away the very best brush cleaner I’ve ever used. It’s far less expensive than most brush cleaners, sucks everything out in a jiffy and really gives it a deep clean while still allowing your brushes to dry quickly (natural hair will dry quicker than synthetic). The Tea Tree has antibacterial properties, or you can choose one of any number of other scents that also leave your brushes smelling good (almond is my personal favorite). It’s also gentle on the hairs and will keep your brushes lasting forever.
