who’s here from the video about putting vinegar on ur brushes
Lmao me
Me lol
Me
Me
Me hahahahaha
I am so glad I watched more than one video to clean my brushes! The last one I washed said use vinegar and I thought.....ERMAGERSH! WOULDN'T THAT SMELL BAD? Thanks so much!
Dawn Shelley I just watched the same one you’re talking about !
I know your comment is old but i wanna point out: Vinegar vanishes in air. If you put a class of vinegar on your balcony, you can drink it after a few hours. It basically becomes tap water. So also the smell vanishes.😊
I just watched that and thought the same thing
I just watched that one. Poor girl probably wonders why her brushes don’t last
@@mikasablackerman6776 why would they not last long? Vinegar is good for hair and makes them soft?
Me and my american self had to look up what surgical spirits were. Here in 'murica it's rubbing alcohol lol.
Lola Ma THANK YOU! I would have needed to look it up too!
Not exactly, it’s “95% methylated spirit, 2.5% castor oil, 2% diethyl phthalate, and 0.5% methyl salicylate” which is comparable to our 70% isopropyl alcohol but not exactly it
SAME lol
Yeah same never heard of surgical spirits except in from UK 😆
I was like, let me scroll down and see what is surgical spirits.
*This video ACTUALLY DOES IT RIGHT. So many videos about cleaning brushes have it wrong. Great job!*
So, I just cleaned my mother's brushes for the first time in like 10 YEARS and in 1 of the brushes turned the fricking white shampoo into bright pink!
Maltese Girl that disgusting lol
Wait! But can anyone use same brush for 10 years ?
Sameee but not 10 year maybe like 5 years lmao 🤣🤣
She needs new brushes cleaning them won't due..lol
guys she doesnt use make up that much ahaha thats why
Surgical spirits sounds much more fun than rubbing alcohol. Thanks for the tips!
LOVE HER ACCENT SO MUCH
Excellent: short, informative, thorough and all with an awesome accent! Thank you!
I used to clean my brushes by just putting them in the sink! I thought it would help since they'd be soaking, but thank you for telling me!
This looks like a great way to clean them and will definitely be doing it in the future! Love how the video is only 4 minutes long as well, very direct and to the point. Thanks!! X
I always use baby shampoo on my brushes because it is very soft in the bristles so you may want to try that. ❤️
same, it is very gentle on the bristles and smells super nice!
Lorena Zago finally! Someone agrees 😂 also I find baby shampoo is the only thing that won't make me break out. And it's a lot cheaper than the proper make up brush cleaners but works just as good 😊
Can I use Johnson baby shampoo?
Aafreen Aahil yes
Hairstyles By Emma me too, it's so much better than if you buy soap that's meant for cleaning your brushes, it's so much cheaper as well 😊
I tried this yesterday and let them dry over night and I’m impressed! It works so well, will definitely be doing this every time my brushes need a wash
okay so i definitely recommend this to everyone! i tried it with one of my wet and wild brushes that was really dirty from contouring, it worked flawlessly. my brush is now dried and better than ever. it looks and feels brand new! thank you, i’ll definitely be subscribing!
This is probably the quickest and easiest way to clean and was so informative and you didn’t make me feel broke!! hahaha love it
I clean my brushes with shampoo but instead on putting shampoo on my hand I use a big piece of Lego 😂 because the water can get hot 💕 this works so well
I laughed so hard over the lego hahahaha that's brilliant! The fact the lego has all the little dents in it as well would really help to clean the brush haha genius :D X
Omg using legos is BRILLIANT!!! I never thought of that! It never occurred to me that this one silicone cleaner I bought looks like a lego haha
Clodagh Murphy Great idea. I might have to try that.
YOU SAVED MY LIFE 💞
Clodagh Murphy lol good tip
Thank you so much for showing me how to clean my brushes without having to go and buy a bunch of different cleaners and the boards and all that crap that I didn't want to have to spend the money on. I used exactly your trick and it worked!! It even took the stains out of my white brushes . So I very much appreciate your tips
anyone else just like "JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO ALREADY 😭"
Sky Winters yes ikr
it takes her like a minute to get to the technique, it's not that long of a wait.
Hope Dagenhart oh my god. Yes
Me
I have another idea..!!if you guys have gluegun ur rite in ur place..u need a exam pad and a glue gun...just do thick designs like acupuncture or like waves on the exam pad and let it dry...after that when u want to clean ur brushes jast wet ur exam pad and ur brush,add a shower gel or shampoo on the exam pad and rub ur brushes on it..and wash ur brush in water..that's it😊😊
Thanks for this. I am relatively new to makeup and hadn't cleaned my brushes yet. I did what you did. But instead shampoo I rubbed a natural bar soap on my palm. It seemed to work well. The brushes are drying right now. Thanks again.
To cobdition better, may want to use bar soap made of olive oil.
I've always cleaned my brushes the same way with the soap and swirling it around on my hand. I use cheap baby shampoo from the dollar store or amazon, but I've never heard of using olive oil, I'll definitely try that. The folded towel is a really good idea too, I always struggled with finding a way to lay them at a slant to keep the water out of the ferrule. I bought an artist tool from amazon that holds them upside down, but the towel thing is free! Japonesque makes a brush cleaning spray that I love, because you can use it and then immediately use the brush, so it's great for quick cleans. Thanks for the video!
AHHH thank you so much!!! I literally had no idea how to clean my brushes, and I can’t believe how well this worked!! I used the brand nature’s orgánica, and it worked a dream 😍
Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful tutorial! I never thought of cleaning the handle, and now that I know I should, I'm definitely going to add that to my cleaning routine.
You have an editing skill of the gods, I rewatched that intro like 12 times and tried to figure out when you might've taken out the brushes but dang I couldn't find a single one
I just did what you did in the video and I'm just waiting for it to dry, excited to see the results! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! We just cleaned it today and now all our brushes are clean!
So, I just cleaned my brushes like you instructed in this video . . . .I didn't realize what color some of my brush bristles were originally until now. Thank you for this awesome tutorial.
Thank you for the tutorial, I washed my brushes and I was so happy with the results I washed my Mum's as well. I had no idea the tips of my brushes were white!
Super helpful, cheers! Just got brushes recently and this is exactly what I needed x
Very helpful. I used this and all my brushes are looking and feeling new! Thanks for the tips! :)
Omg thank u! I’ve been looking for a cheap way to clean my brushes! This video was soooo helpful!!! 😁👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much! I used to try and clean my makeup brushes w some freestyling (actually ruining a lot of my mom's towels) so this was really helpful!
this was so helpful, thank you so much for this short, effective, useful video!
For some reason when I first watched this video I thought she put more makeup on her brushes for a more dramatic effect when she was cleaning them. Then I used this technique to clean my brushes AND THERE WAS SO MUCH MAKEUP EVERYWHERE. So glad I did this! Thanks for the video!
This video has saved me time and money ... much appreciated 👍☺️
Thank you! First time cleaning my brushes (eyeshadow only I don’t wear any face makeup) for a very long time- this did just the trick!
wow cleaned my makeup brushes after like 3 years and it works perfectly
3 FUCKING YEARS
Works really well! My brushes smelt so good after this. Totally recommend washing brushes this way!👍👌🏼
Awesome video. I was looking for an easy and inexpensive way to clean my brushes and now I have it. Thank you so much for sharing! :-)
I was so shocked! I was skeptical at first but I did it and it took like a total of 3 minutes and it was so perfectly clean???? I had cleaned it before but it wouldn't come out, but this worked in like 1 minute??? thank you!
Omg you’re from Dublin! 😍😍 I love it! I am going to visit Ireland in 9 days and will be flying into Dublin! After that, I’m staying in Bundoran in Northern Ireland. I love your tips and your accent! 😍 keep it up!!!
Thank you for this video :) I cleaned mine the same way and I also did my blender with dishsoap and olive oil 👍
Thank you so much, I just did the same with a light coconut shampoo that I had and wasn’t good for my hair but I kept it. Now it’s my favorite brushes shampoo :)
Just cleaned my brushes. Don't really used them but decided to look for a video to clean them as they have been down for a while and I found you.
Thank you , this video really helped me cleaned my old brushes , they are clean now
I used to put ( lucky enough I had that shampoo , I’m gonna see if I can get more )
them in a container with warm water and quite a few of them broke , I would balance them on the side
Now I know how to clean them ! Thank you so much, I was swirling them around in a soapy water before, now they are really clean!
I had almost given up on my white brushes, thank you... this is brilliant!
Thank God you are probably one of the few that remember to turn off the tap and not leaving it on all the time! Thank you for being nice to the earth
Thank you, I just used the olive oil w/ baby shampoo & it worked great. 🖌
Thank you so much for this! I finally got my brushes clean with the olive oil!
I just started using makeup brushes and was gonna do what she initially said not to do. Thanks!
Thank you for the advice! Will definitely do this from now on!

Someone suggested a big piece of lego and I thought that was hella clever
@@knivesy 😂
Same. I also wash my paint brushes the same way
Thanks for this sissy! Tried this for the first time just right now, hope my babies will be as good and dry well :)

this was so helpful, thank you SO much!!!
Thank you so very much!! I needed to be reassured that I didn't need to buy anything fancy 💖
Thank you for your "right to the point" and informative video. I know this was posted quite a while ago, but had a question. I live in the USA. When you speak about surgical spirits, is this rubbing alcohol? Do you know? Thanks so much.
This worked so well I just used a dollar tree suave shampoo and it worked perfectly thanks so much !!😎😊🙂
the wasboard and olive oil technique is very smart i'm definitely going to was my brushes like this from now on. I still have stains on my foundation brush that I thought that I could never ger out. This was very smart thank you so much for the video!
Yeah I find the oil very handy for getting rid of stubborn stains! Thanks a million for watching, glad it was helpful :) x
+Eimear McElheron no problem! Thanks for the reply! i'm definitely going to try that trick over the weekend. I dont usually comment much on videos cuz I get shy. But im very happy you replied!
Brilliant! So simple and the use of surgical spirit is excellent! Could you also use hydrogen peroxide?
This worked so well! Thank you!
Thank you so much !! It rlly helped me , the freakin shampoo was heavenly white and now when I washed it it was all baige and brown!!! Thank you again
I did it to my brushes and it works so well!
Thanks! Very helpful. Just saw a video about using vinegar. This makes a lot more sense
Oh my god I loooove your accent ❤️❤️ it's so adorable
I'm in the USA. What can I use instead of the "spirits" you talk about, for cleaning on a daily basis? Thank you! Love the video :-)
This works soo well! ❤️❤️❤️🥳
THANK YOU! This video is a life saver.
Extremely Helpful Video!! 💖
This beginner thanks you for all the useful extra info. 😊
I do the same thing. I thought I was weird that I spot clean after every use with alcohol. I do use a soap by BH Cosmetics and it does work fantastic. I get them on sale and one does last a very long time. So yes it’s more expensive then shampoo but it works great and you get tons of uses out if one so the price works out. I just don’t like using shampoo because it’s more messy (i is clumsy) and you constantly have to pick it up and tip it over. A solid soap you can have sit on the counter and swirl your brushes around in it. Again I’m clumsy and it’s just an added bonus that I can avoid making a mess
