Need to quickly clean your makeup brushes without the fuss? Below you will discover two makeup brush cleaners that are loved and used by professional makeup artists and that will leave your brushes clean, sanitized and conditioned (AND smelling delicious)!
Why use professional makeup brush cleaners?
Our makeup brushes are the most important tools when applying makeup, but are also a breeding ground for acne causing bacteria. Although it is important to deep clean your brushes weekly, sometimes you just need something to get the job done quickly. Makeup brush cleaners are awesome because they dry fast, make your brushes smell amazing, and clean/sanitize them within a few seconds! (AND RINSE FREE!)
As a mom of toddlers, the only time I get to deep clean my brushes are at night (when I am dead tired). With makeup brush cleaners, I love that I can quickly clean them without taking up too much time. This makes it SO easy! AKA #momfriendly. This also makes for a perfect gift for your makeup loving friends!
There are A LOT of cleaning products out there, but I narrowed it down to the two I use and love (and that other makeup artists also love). So if you want to quickly clean your brushes like a pro, check out my two favorite makeup brush cleaners below!

tips on how to use Makeup brush cleaners
Method #1: Dipping into Cleaner
Step 1: Pour some of the cleaner into a small bowl.
Step 2: Dip 1/4 of your brush into the cleaner (a little goes a long way!). The cleaner will move it’s way up the bristles. Do not soak or hold the brush in the cleaner for too long to avoid over saturation.
Step 3: Wipe the brush clean on a paper towel or cloth. Repeat steps until your brush is clean.
Method #2: Spraying onto Brush (I prefer for larger brushes)
Step 1: Hold the sprayer 1-2 inches away from the brush and rotate the brush as you spray.
Step 2: Gently wipe your brushes on a paper towel or cloth. Repeat as needed.
And your done!
