I used castile soap because I had that on hand. I'll be washing my concealer brush with this method, my sister's bronzer brush, another eye-shadow brush, and another mini beauty blender. You're also going to need apple cider vinegar. Next time I will probably use a wider cup or jar so I don't get the handle in the mixture.Īnother way to clean the brushes is with a gentle shampoo, like baby shampoo or castile soap. Texture-wise, both this method and the one with olive oil left my brushes feeling the same. I was concerned the brushes would still smell like vinegar, but once the brushes dried, the strong smell went away.
And, again, I placed them down flat on a white paper towel to dry overnight.Īnd here they are, perfectly clean. After 20 minutes, I rinsed it off, and, wow, was this a breeze! The makeup washed off so fast, which is great because I didn't have to use a lot of water. It can also be very strong, so it's important to dilute it. White vinegar is a natural cleaning product and disinfectant. But I instantly saw the water change color, and in just a few seconds, my brushes started to look a lot cleaner. Obviously, I didn't think of the buoyancy force of the water with the sponge, so I had to dip the beauty blenders so they could really soak up the water. That's a technique I've never tried before. Then you dip your brushes into the mixture. You pour a cup of hot water, a tablespoon of dish soap, and a tablespoon of white vinegar. You can use a glass jar or a regular glass cup like I did. And, again, another eye-shadow brush and another mini beauty blender. This brush always takes me the longest to wash. I will be washing my bronzer brush, which is super thick and absorbs a lot of product. The second method is washing the brushes with white vinegar, hot water, and, again, dish soap, which I saw YouTuber Kayleigh Noelle recommend. There was a section of the beauty blender that was still a little dirty though, but maybe it's just time to replace that one. Not overly hydrated, but still very soft.
The bristles still felt the same as before. Once the water ran clear, I placed them on a white paper towel to dry overnight.Īnd there you go. I did have to add more dish soap on my foundation brush and the beauty blender to get all the makeup off. The extra-virgin olive oil can help break down the makeup and will also moisturize the bristles so they don't dry out. Dish soap, especially if antibacterial, helps get a lot of the product off. If you wash the brushes pointed up towards the water, you risk getting water into the handle and loosening up the glue that keeps the bristles together. I made sure I washed my brushes pointed down. Then I rinsed them for a few minutes until all the soap was gone. The eye-shadow brushes definitely had the most residue come off, and the beauty blender was kind of annoying to grip. You swirl it on the palm of your hand, but I saved that part until I was by my sink to avoid a mess. You wet your brushes, then swirl the brushes into the mixture. First you pour the dish soap and olive oil onto a plate. I'm also trying this with two of my eye-shadow brushes and a mini beauty blender. I will be washing my liquid-foundation brush that I use every single day, so this one is pretty gunky. I used Dawn because that's what I had opened, but any brand would work, and if it's antibacterial, that's better. The first method is washing with extra-virgin olive oil and dish soap, which I saw from this YouTube video by Nicole Guerriero. I'm going to run through each quickly so you can neurotically clean your belongings like I've been doing. Caroline Aghajanian: I tested three methods for cleaning your makeup brushes using just household items and had a lot of really great results.
