    Don’t let the brushes soak inside a water bath
    Just put the micellarwater directly on the brush head and let that soak with the handle pointing upwards, otherwise you risk the glue inside the Ferrule(metal bit that holds the bristles) to losen thusly brush hairs falling out and losing their shape

      You guys are Funny 😅😅😅.. It's so easy.. Buy one makeup cleaning bowl and put water in it.. Just pour 2/3 drops of dish washer in it.. Soak your brush in that water for 30 mins and then clean it.. Use your make up cleaning bowl's pad to rub the brush.. Thats all

    I don't soak them as it's bad for the glue that holds the brush together. I wet them, then lightly dip them in @dawn dish soap, swirl them on the palm of my hand, which breaks up the oils from the makeup. I rinse them until the water runs clear and then hang them to dry.

      I hang mine with a brush hanger that has suction cups so you can stick it to your mirror or shower door and put the brushes in the hanger. You can get them at Ross, Burlington, Amazon. If I have 1 or 2, I put a pony tail holder around my faucet and loop the handles thru it to dry...always with the brush head down.

    Do not soak your brushes!!!! Water can travel up into the ferrule (the metal part that connects the brush hairs to the handle) and loosen the glue that holds in the brush hairs. You’ll ruin your brushes!

  • @jjgems5909
    @jjgems5909 8 месяцев назад +6

    No you do not want to soak your brushes at least don’t let the water hit the bristle shaft. It will loosen the glue if it gets inside. You always want to face then down so water doesn’t get in. And you need to swirl the brush on your palm or you can get a makeup brush cleaning pad. I just use dr bronners diluted and I just swish the brush around. And then rinse the rest off but never let water get in to far. I learned this tips in the early 2000s from a MAC makeup artist, back when MAC was THE makeup brand. I still have my first MAC brushed I got when I was 15 in 2005. I still use them they’re in great condition and I credit it to how I clean them.

  • @krystenburkhardt-hansyn
    @krystenburkhardt-hansyn 8 месяцев назад +8

    I’ve found Dawn Dish liquid in HOT water is the best. Then after they’re rinsed, I dip them in 70% alcohol and let them soak about 15 minutes.
    I take them out of the container, use a clean paper towel to remove the excess, and let them air dry. That acts as the sanitizer. You must sanitize after cleaning.
    They smell SO fresh and feel SO fluffy when you use them.

  • @BagznBirdz
    @BagznBirdz 8 месяцев назад +3

    The best solution for stuck-on product is mixing mild dish soap, baking powder and warm water, getting the mixture on the brush and rinsing after 10-15 mins. The baking powder will lift dirt very efficiently.

      I use a bit of dish soap with rubbing alcohol added to it and swirl the brushes around in my textured silicone brush makeup cleaner bowl until the brushes are clean of make, then I rinse the brushes one at a time under warm running water, gently squeeze the excess water out, then swipe the brushes back and forth softly on whatever I'm drying them on (ie towel, gauze, etc) then mist them lightly with rubbing alcohol and lay them down flat to dry completely before I put them away
      Ps: When you wash your brushes don't forget to wash whatever you keep your brushes in too!! 😅

    The best make up brushes cleaner is extra virgin olive oil .
    Take a little oil in the palm of your hand and swirl the brush .
    When most of the gunk is out rinse the brush in soapy water . The oil will leave the bristles soft and un damaged .
    An extra virgin olive oil is also an amazing make up remover .
    Also repairing the skin cos it is rich in vitamin E .
    Good for skin break out ,psoriasis , acne , eczema and dry/oily skin .
    Olden days , we used to create a warm hair mask with olive oil . Repairing damaged hair .
    Olive oil girls no need of shitty soap

    Please don't do this. The ferrul should never sit in water. You'll ruin the glue. Even if it's only for a min! . . Take a plate put olive oil on one side and dish soap on the other side. Dip it in both.. a tiny dip..... then rub ut under water avoiding the metal band or where the brush is connected to the handle, and use a brush cleaning pad or finger pad. (The brush cleaners with ridges on them). Then buy the nets to place your brush in so you don't ruin your bristles. And let them dry (vertically) bristles side down. Or makeup brush holder made for cleaning but you can only fit like 14 brushes, the bets come 100 in a pack.

    I use my face wash. Put a little in my hand and twirl the brush around a bit and bam they clean
