Makeup Brush Cleansers

Cleaning your makeup brushes is essential. Brushes contain a lot of dirt, debris and bacteria. You can clean your brushes with a small amount of gentle shampoo, or use a product specifically designed to clean makeup brushes. I used to think the special products weren’t worth it. However, recently I tried a couple brands that changed my mind. These makeup brush cleansers rinse very clean and leave your brushes so fresh.

Clinique Makeup Brush Cleanser
A couple months back, I received a small sample of this cleanser. Used monthly, it will keep your brushes clean and help ensure they last longer. At only $12.50, it’s a great buy.

This cleanser works really well and quickly. The color, grime and oils are removed from your brushes in just a few seconds. It also doesn’t require rinsing (though I rinsed mine anyway). It’s priced at $13 for 4.2 oz. at Nordstrom and other stores.
Some companies also make brush cleaning spray. These sprays are designed to clean brushes quickly and more often. Bobbi Brown and Bare Escentuals, among others, make these fast-drying sprays.
I haven’t tried them yet. Have you? If so, leave your comments here and let us know how well they work.
