I use Dawn and my hand. Works for my artist's brushes, works for my paint brushes, works for my makeup brushes, works for duckies covered in crude oil. If it can get latex house paint out, it can handle some eyeshadow.
citrus fluff but is that good for your brushes? Might be too harsh.
Me too i use Dawn
@@leiladash I've seen videos where they mix Dawn and olive oil to strip the brushes of the gunk and oil, but condition them at the same time so your brushes don't lose their softness. I tried it this last time, but I felt like a few of my brushes had a tiny bit of oily film. It was a test, because I usually buy brush soap. Idk if I'll mix Dawn and oil again.
This would make a great Dawn ad. Make up brushes, latex paint, duckies covered in crude oil...works for anything! 🙂
I got a brush soap in my beautylish lucky bag the year before last so I'm using that right now, but when I run out I will go back to dawn. It works just as well and is less expensive. And there doesn't seem to be any difference in softness between the 2.
I just use baby shampoo for brushes and Dove sensitive bar soap for my sponges. They work just as good as anything else in my opinion.
Sarah Kay I use dawn to break down make up in the brushes if baby shampoo doesn’t do the job. I’ve used the Dove, Dr Bronner’s even oil cleansers or coconut oil do a great job gently breaking down tough make up for brushes and sponges. I’ve never bought a brush cleaner unless it was Elf’s quick cleaner that’s $3 for spot cleaning day to day or something (and I’m not even sure that does much, lol.)
I love Parian Spirits because it uses orange oil which is a crazy disinfectant
Flor Jazmin Juicyjas uses a pink bar soap found in the laundry section of Walmart that she swears by for brush cleaning. I have no idea what the ingredients are, but I just think a lot of the brush cleaners are gimmicks or more for convenience for make up artists to spot clean (the ones that dry immediately.)
Yes baby shampoo! So cheap but better than the things specifically aimed at brush cleansing!
Soft soap works great to clean brushes, too. Thanks for the dove soap idea for sponges.
I recently discovered a blush cleaning tip in a Facebook group I’m in - dip your brush in micellar water before cleaning and the leftover makeup comes off more quickly! I tried it with my most used foundation brush and it worked like a charm - my brush looks brand new. It’s amazing!
Katie D I had thought about this and that it should work but had never heard anyone else mention it. Now I’m going to give it a whirl! (swirl?)😋
Yes!
What a great idea! I have one I got as a gift but it is way too scented for me. But as a brush pre-cleaner, I would be able to handle it. Love!
Thank you!
I love that tip!!!!! I can't wait to try it!!
Top tips 1) If you roll up the edge of your towel to create a bump, the handles tip up gently and the water will drain out. 2) Try a Castille Soap - I love the solid Dr Bronners.
Jane Raine YES! I adore the unscented Dr Bronners, both the liquid and the solid. Works better than anything I’ve ever tried, and doesn’t aggravate my crazy-sensitive skin.
Yes! I found Dr Bronners when I googled a dupe for the BlenderCleanser because I really liked how it worked (bs baby shampoo) but I wasn’t willing to spend the money on it. I used the liquid for a while, but I find the bar works the best for both sponges and brushes! And it’s cheap!
Agreed, I love the Dr Bronners bar. I use a plastic soap dish I bought at the dollar store in place of a glove too.
Jane Raine where do u buy the dr Bonner’s bar
@@tiffanilacasse8042 I got mine at Trader Joe's, but I think you can get them at Target, Walmart, and any number of other health stores.
Hey jess! Thanks for doing this video! So I work at Sephora and use a lot of the same products that you use. The “brush cleaner” is technically used for dry cleaning your brushes. So for me as a make up artist I spray the brush cleaner on a paper towel if I’m switching colors and want to use the same brush. It is labeled at “quick drying because it doesn’t make your brush wet. So you spray some brush cleaner into a paper towel (or any cloth towel) and swirl your brush and it is literally brand new. Anything labeled as a brush bath or shampoo is to be combined with water! So they are two different products actually. The reason the one that smells so strong is because of the chemicals that makes it a no water brush bath! Typically an actually water brush bath will smell lovely! I am constantly using a lot of brushes, but one way I can extend the time of my brush washes is to use the dry wash after I use my brushes so that the powders and products do not pile on the brush and I don’t have to wash as often! Much love xoxoxox
Amelia Davis so how often do you wash your brushes with soap in between using the cinema secrets?
Just us Johnsons I try and wash my brushes every other week. But that because I work at Sephora and wear a lot of make up. I think every 3 weeks to a month is good to do the deep wash for most people
Amelia Davis oh wow. I’ve been doing it once a week because I wasn’t spot cleaning but I recently bought one 😐 lol okay thanks!
It also depends on how many brushes you have. You can go longer between washes if you're using them less.
Noooo Jess you don't wet the brushes beforehand when you use the cinema secrets cleaner. You use WAY less product that way, and you really only need the smallest amount and it will clean them perfectly and they are available for use again almost immediately.
Candice Crystal is right you dont put water on your brush at all, not before or after...
If you get the ZOTE BAR soap, the PINK ONE, from Walmart in the laundry section it’s huge and last longer. It’s on $1 and it takes all stains off my beauty blender
I love that bar! Cleans everything quickly and completely
I use that too sometimes, but I follow up with a dove bar soap, because the zote soap tends to be "drying" and changes the texture on my sponge and effects performance if I don't. But, yes, zote works fast to remove strains.
Yes! I love the zote soap!
Sayan Vil I will have to try it. Thanks for the heads up.
Samantha Bamantha did you get the pink one?? Because I know the white one is drying but the pink one works perfect for me!
I thought you suppose to use Cinema secrets for a quick cleaning of the brushes when they dry. The same idea as Elf cleanser. You dip/spray dry brush and wipe it on a paper towel or cloth. I use Kleenex though. It’s definitely not designed for a deep cleaning. I use it every day on my brushes after each makeup application and once in a while deep clean them wet with the brush shampoo
That’s correct... u can use a paper towel and swirl the brush and done ... the wetting part is for when ur deep cleansing ... but maybe this works for her 🤷🏽♀️
Kateryna Poe yupp the high alcohol content of the cinema secrets formula cleans and sanitizes the brushes and also allows the brush to dry within a minute or so, it’s the best for working on set!
I have used Cinema Secrets dry for a few months but had never noticed that it leaves a blue residue on brushes. I was cleaning some new brushes to use for the first time, they were synthetic with PURE WHITE bristles and they definitely had a lot of blue staining on the bristles after. I took a hard look at some of my other brushes with lighter bristles that I have washed many times with the CS cleanser and saw that they do have some blue staining up near the ferrules especially (I guess it wicked all the way up there and won’t come out?). I saw Jessica using the wet clean method with CS and am going to definitely try that today on some of the ones with the staining! Maybe it helps the solution come out of some brushes that are denser or just wicked up too much product towards the ferrule over time? Not sure but I figure it’s worth a shot to get some of them with the gross looking staining and residue clean!
CN Beauty Addiction that’s happened to a couple of my brushes using the CS cleaner for sure! A few remained stained after a deep water & soap cleaning but most have lost the blue tinge. I’ve been putting the CS cleaner in a travel-sized spray bottle and spritzing my brushes rather than dipping them in a bowl and that’s helped me to not oversaturate the bristles with the solution.
Nicole Neenan what a great idea, I've used the CS cleaner 3 or 4 times and I've used SO MUCH OF IT because my brushes soak it right up. Will definitely try a spray bottle next time thanks!!
IKEA hack silicone oven mitt for cleaning brushes
Empty the tray, turn it over and lay it on the counter. Drape another hand towel/wash cloth on top and BOOM! Now you have four more counter ledges to lay brushes over.
I used to use Dr. Bronners to wash my brushes, but it was definitely drying them out in a weird way. Now I use Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day dish soap because it breaks down the oils and build up without being overly drying. My brushes come out soft and fluffy and the denser ones still have the right texture for their uses.
Angela Dianne Miller I use Dr. Bronner‘s too, but I dilute it with water in a separate bottle. Maybe that would help?
I had tried that. I just am not a fan of it across the board. I’ve tried it for so many things and it’s just not something that works for me.
Angela Dianne Miller -I love Mrs. Meyers & can find her products pretty regularly at T.J.MAXX for at least 50% off!!
Thanks for the tip, I'll try it!
Wow! I have been using Dr Bronners forever (just on my beauty blenders and RT sponges), and it never occurred to me that it might be drying them out. I always did wonder why other people’s sponges lasted longer than mine. Mine start to tear after about 5 washes, and I wash them every 3 days or so. One of my friends says her beauty blender lasts her 3 months!
Thanks for mentioning it! I’ll try something different and see if it helps :)
collect your hotel bar soaps when you travel and use those to clean your brushes and sponges!! jess mentions dove bar soap and these have worked better for me than that.
Faith Wangermann YES!! This is exactly what I do and I cannot believe the results!! My favorite are the ones with little bumps on them- built in scrubbing mat😂 My husband recently returned from a trip and brought me a few soaps from his hotel room and I think I was more excited about those than any other souvenir lol
Thanks for the tip! I just tried this tonight and my sponges are like new!!!!!
Dawn dish washing mixed with some baking soda works great!! rinse well. It cuts the greasy feel and rinses clear. Very affordable.
Angie from Hot and Flashy used “zote” bar soap from Walmart in the laundry section. It’s amazing how it cleaned, especially the foundation brushes. Thanks. Just want to say how I enjoy seeing Gigi. She’s precious.
I use Zote soap bar. It's cheap and you can find it at Walmart. I use a little egg shaped scrubber and sometimes scrubbing mat that you put in your sink. Then sometimes I'll put them in my hanging dry rack if I feel like pulling it out or just lay them flat on a towel ☺️ Seems to work well for me. As for my beauty blender, I run it under warm water and run it across my bar of soap and keep pressing and squeezing 👍🏻🤗 I would like to try that blender balm stuff 👍🏻
Hotel bar soap works really well for cleaning sponges as well. Give it a try sometime, you might be surprised.
That's what I do. My husband traveled a lot, and I went with him. I "only" saved like 30 of them but they work well and when you are done you can throw it away then open a new one next time and not worry about having a huge bar of soap. My beauty blenders came out cleaner than any brush soap, or Dawn, or baby shampoo.
i just use a cheap dollar glicerin soap and works amazing for my sponges especially
👍🏼
ive done this! its great
Thank you for being an inspiration to me! I started a beauty instagram and got my makeup artist certification because of how you’ve inspired me! Never change you’re awesome :)
You are on fire with regular uploads! Hope Disney was fun!!!
I use the Dr. Bronner's unscented Castile soap. I love it.
Perfect timing! I was just thinking this morning about how my brushes and especially sponges needed a good clean. Thanks Jess!
Sorry to add another one on but the Elf solid sponge/brush cleaner is amazing. I’m on my third one and it’s only $4! I’ve used other soaps but nothing really worked as well as the elf one.
Totally buying this to try out!!!
Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 Yay! Can’t believe you replied! Starting my day off right. Have a great day!
I just bought that the other day, they are having a 50% off sale anything over $30 right now on the website. I got $60+ worth of stuff for $27 and free shipping. Can't wait to try the solid brush cleaner!
I hate the smell which lingers. I really don't like the cucumber melon smell. That's what gave me the idea to use micellar water.
Its the BEST!! I've gone through several.
So helpful! Thank you for making this video. I use the ELF solid cleanser for everything. It works perfectly for foundation brushes and it cleans really fast.
Love this! Also that poor plant behind you 😂
A great, practical video - thanks Jessica!
great video. ive always used dawn, definetly want to try the solid cleanser
I loved this video!! I found it super relaxing to watch you cleaning your brushes!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Jess! I definitely need to wash my brushes hope this video gives me the motivation! Love ur videos ❤️
❤️ Thanks for this video. Really enjoyed watching it and learning some tips.
This is literally the video I needed!!!! Thank you Jess!!
You uploaded just when I need to clean my brushes 😁
This video was so satisfying!
I really liked this video and to see all the different brushes you use.
these videos are always so helpful!
I also dry my brushes on the towel like you but sometimes I roll a second towel and place it at the end of the brush so the brush is angled with ferrule down so it drains water down
Sandeep Dhillon I do the same! Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like they dry faster that way too
Me too lol I just made the same comment!!
I do that too. Works great.
I also do this!
i use Dawn dish soap and it works well. Thanks!
Thanks for doing a video on this! I love the BB solid. I use it on my brushes, too. I picked up a bunch during 21 Days of Beauty, so it wasn’t so expensive. I also had the soap donut going on lol. I put one of my free sample solids in the middle and it was like new!
I find brush cleaning therapeutic! I clean mine every weekend and I use Ivory or Palmolive dishwashing soap. I used to use facial soap but i found that dishwashing soap take out most of tye makeup. Love your videos!
I love the EcoTools brush shampoo for my brushes, Beauty Blender solid cleanser for my sponges, & Elf cleaning glove for cleaning the brushes on. This is the best combo I've found for myself so far!
This video is PERFECT for the holiday weekend and having today off. I’m cleaning my brushes today for sure!
Ok fine, Jess. Hint taken. Gonna clean my brushes.
Thank you! This was just the inspiration I needed to get up and clean my Brushes :D
I use baby shampoo for my brushes and dial bar soap for my sponges. Thanks for sharing. I am going to pick up some of that cleaner because I been meaning to get one that will have my brushes dry quickly. I put baby shampoo and some water in a cup and some brushes in there have it sit for like a min and then most of the makeup is off the brush. Then I go ahead and scrub the rest out. Thanks for trying the different methods for us.
This was super helpful! I've never used the Cinema Secrets on big brushes or with water. Going to try it tonight. Also, I have a mat that's like your glove and I spray it with bleach cleaner and then use a stiff brush (nail brush) to clean it. It then looks like new. 💕
I've been using Eucalan no rinse delicates wash for my brushes, I always have it on-hand for hand washing wool and other delicates. It works just as well as the blender cleanser, but I'll have to compare with some of the bar soaps mentioned!
Thank you for this. I've been needing to clean my brushes for so long but I keep putting it off but this video has actually put me in the mood :)
I put an old spray top from a Sephora brush cleaner in my cinema secrets bottle and spray it on for a quick spot clean and wipe it on tissue or a microfiber cloth. I just splurged on the BB pro solid cleaner and it is amazing at deep cleaning brushes and sponges and leaves them very soft.
I have to say this is the best tutorial on brush cleaning I have seen! You are definitely made to teach!
1: you can also get all kinds of those silicone mats from places like TJ Maxx, Marshall’s, etc.
2: I always lay mine out on a towel as well, but I roll it a few times on the long end so that the brushes are pointed downward at least a little vs. totally flat. Maybe it doesn’t matter but it makes me feel a little better lol.
3: when I stay at hotels and they put out extra bars of soap I don’t use, I’ll keep them for brush cleaning!
Very helpful video! Thank you, Jess! ❤️
Thanks so much for this video!!💜
I use zote soap. It's amazing! It cleans so well!
Also for drying my brushes, I take them and brush them in one direction on the texture really fast on my silicone mat and it helps get a lot of the water out of it so my brushes dry super fast
First video of yours and I really like your personality! It's just so authentic
I’ve been using the mrs meyers hand soap lately and it works great! It has olive oil in it which really helps get the gunk out!
I use the Sephora solid soap and the spray for touch up and love it.
I love my benjabelle brush tree and the brush soap they make
I have been using the Zote bar from Walmart. It works great!
Your sink is so cool! That light is awesome lol
Very helpful video . Thank you ♡♡♡
The Elf spray is really good for quick cleaning!
I use the Sigma brush cleanser from Amazon recommended by Hot and Flashy. It is amazing
Such a satisfying video!
Hope you guys have an awesome vacation!
You’re my favorite RUclipsr, and I get so excited when you upload 😍
Jess I use Neutrogena foaming face wash to clean makeup brushes and it works so good also pure castle soap the baby unscented one
Love your makeup! Your so beautiful! I'm a towel girl too. I'm always washing like 20 brushes at a time!
Okay okay! I’ll clean my brushes today! 😂 I was way overdue and this was so satisfying to watch. Thanks for the motivation!
I use suave daily clarifying shampoo. It works so good! Great on your hair once a week too and it’s like $2 for a huge bottle.
So many clean brushes go Jess!
I really like the IT cosmetics quick brush cleaner for in between soap and water washing.
Hey im early! Very informative. Thank you Jessica! Love your videos
I have used Shea moisture baby wash and it’s worked well. I switch between that, Dr Bronners, and Real Techniques liquid brush cleanser. Love your shirt. We live in South Bend and love going to the Stray Dog!!❤️🐶
I use my homemade coconut oil soap and it works beautifully🤗💛
My favorite is the paul Mitchell tea tree soap bar!!!
Holy cow watching you clean those sponges was ridiculously satisfying!!!
Hello Jessica ! I use Cinema secret for spot cleaning every day ( I put it in a spray bottle and I spray it on a tissue. I rub my brushes on the tissue ) For deep cleaning, I use beauty blender soap bar or liquid. Love your videos so much ! 💖
Great, Great video!! Very Helpful!!
Great information, JessI love the Beauty Blender solid, but it's so expensive! Some RUclipsr recommended Castille soap, which is much cheaper and works just as well! I do have the Cinema Secrets, but I use it more to clean in between my heavy-duty cleaning.
I do the towel method as well!!!!
Japonesque brush cleaner is my go to quick cleaner, and comes in citrus scent and one other scent. I purchased the large bottle from Ulta, and use a small spray bottle for spraying directly onto brushes, then swirl around on paper towels until all pigment is removed(may need to repeat if it is stubborn pigment). Deep cleaning with baby shampoo/wash works nice, but the Shae Moisture Peace Rose bar soap is a great cleansing soap and rinses easily.
I wish they would bring back the large japonesque cleaner at ulta! I ran out and bought the clinique one but its esspensive!
Sephora's Detox: Deep-cleaning brush shampoo is one of the best I have recently tried. Works wonderfully on sponges too,
Hi Jessica, its great to see how everyone cleans their brushes, allows you to pick up new tips you might not know :-) I've been cleaning my brushes with African black soap ( tip from Stephanie Nicole ) it works great and a bar lasts a long long time. When they are completely rinsed I dip the bristles in aloe Vera gel and let them dry ( tip from tarababyz) once dry you just crack (swirl the bristles on your hand a few times) the dried gel and your brushes are nicely conditioned so especially natural hair brushes don't get dried out :-) these are the two best tips I had found on you tube, and I truly trust Tara and stephanie. :-)
Me too! I tell everyone about it because I was impressed by how well it works. 😁
If you take a bar of soap and really do washboard style cleaning of the sponge on the side with the scoop part of the bar if you know what i mean and get every side of the sponge it works like magic in case anyone is reading the comments
Daiso Detergent for Makeup Puff and Sponge! I get it off Amazon. Even cleans my caked-up concealer brushes without much effort.
i wash mine the day ive used them well eye ones and foundation and blush and powder brushes are weekly ...but I use Revolution sanitizer hard brush soap.. and ill dry mine in a beaker with brush side up and had no trouble drying them that way .. usually leave in a window somewhere . great video
OMG this video was SO dang satisfying!!!
I use Dawn dishwashing liquid and it works like a charm. It breaks down oils much faster than any other product I’ve used. It also rinses quickly and is very gentle on the brushes and sponges.
Jessie’s little light sink is so cool!
I use baby shampoo also and find it does a good job. I've also in a pinch used the cerave hydrating cream cleanser that you like and it worked too. I definitely wanna get one of those matts or gloves though because with just my hands it takes FOREVER and depending on how dirty the brush is makes it almost impossible to get out.
Your method is similar to mine. Enjoy your videos! I also got rid of the trees because they stretched and my brushes started falling out. I love blender cleaner for my BB. ❤️😊🌹
I love the beauty blender cleanser pro works for everything
I use the Burt's Bees Mango & Orange Energizing Body Bar to clean my brushes and sponges, but I'm definitely gonna look into other options, since I think they discontinued it.
I buy a big bag of baby wipes and clean my brushes everyday after every use. and then at the end of the week I clean everything with Dawn dish liq. Great video Jess!! love the sponge clean goes to show proof in the pudding giggling.
Love cinema secrets brush cleaner!! I totally thought it was a spot cleaner though (no rinse) 🤷🏻♀️ seeing you use it a different way is a game changer!!! Good to know about Aveeno Baby and Dove Soap bars too!!!
For the eyelash curler I frequently wipe mine down with a cotton pad that has micellar water and it does a great job! Usually I just use the same cotton pad I used on my face (in the morning there’s usually not much makeup residue because I’ve already washed my face)
I use Dawn, the original blue kind. Really good for breaking down the oils in them. I’m with you, I only clean mine about every two months or so, too.
What a FANTASTIC video. Just want I needed... Seriously lol. Thanks Jessica ❤
Thanks for this video!
When you use dove soap- do you put it in a container?
Also- what eyelash curler do you use???
Jess, I’m currently in a makeup academy, so I wash brushes almost every day and honestly the dr.bronners bar soap is amazing! you really just need a little bit of it but it works really well and it lasts better and longer than liquid soaps!😄🤗
Your shirt is gorgeous!!
I'm so motivated to go wash my brushes😹 I really like the Eco tools brush shampoo
I use Baby Magic baby bath to clean mine. it works great and smells good too.
Omg this video was so helpful !!!!!!
Ivory soap is amazing. I learned it as a trick in oil painting class where the brushes were all very delicate. I tried it on my makeup brushes and have never looked back. It deep cleans them and leaves them soft and fluffy.
