- There's so much advice out there about how to clean your makeup brushes, it can be a challenge to find the method that works best for you.
- Cinema Secrets Professional Brush Cleaner makes it simple to get a deep clean without spending an hour hunched over the sink.
I love just about everything that comes with wearing makeup - apply it, removing it, shopping for it. But cleaning my makeup brushes? I could do without that part. And in fact, I often do. I definitely don't wash them as often as I should. My signal that it's finally time comes when the bristles on my go-to eyeshadow brushes are so gross all my looks turn a singular muddy shade of sorta glittery brown.
Having a good cleansing method does take a lot of the stress and guesswork out of the situation. If you have an effective makeup brush cleaner, you'll be less likely to put off the task. From DIY options to instant brush cleaners to deep-cleaning shampoos and fancy tools, there are a ton of makeup brush cleansers on the market.
What type of brush cleaner you use will depend on how many brushes you have in your collection and on your makeup-wearing habits. But no matter what, it's a good idea to have both an option for deep cleaning and a spot treatment on hand. This way you don't have to worry about leftover powders mixing together while you're doing your makeup, even when you're in between washes.
