Cleaning Sponges & Brushes 101 | Which cleans the best??

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here's how to clean makeup brushes & beauty sponges (like the Beauty Blender) and my comparison of different cleansers - more expensive and drugstore (sort-of) dupes, including Cinema Secrets, Liquid/Solid Blender Cleanser, Parian Spirit, Aveeno baby shampoo, etc.

    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.

    @@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.

    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.)

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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. :-)

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 only have synthetic brushes and but about a year ago- I started washing them after every use and they are still in gorgeous shape. I just used warm water and hand soap and they are still beautiful and I think my makeup application- especially my eyes- looks better. My Beauty blender I put in a cup with a little hand soap and warm water and let sit overnight and they next day they are perfect.

    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.

    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.

    Years ago I saw at show/video of how Martha Stewart cleans make up brushes. She used a folded towel with the folded over so you can set the brushes so the water doesn't head to the ferrel (sp?). I also use a repurposed dog bath mitt cleanser. Ole hippie alert - I use home made Castile soap to wash. Great video Jessica!

    🤣 I FINALLY cleaned my brushes last night, after I kept putting it off for the last month!! And it took twice as long to clean. I use Dr. Bronners lavender Castile soap to clean my brushes and then I hang them in groups on my towel bar with hair ties so they are hanging vertical to dry. I just bought the BB soap to clean sponges with. I like that for the sponges. My brushes were just too dirty and I didn't want to chew threw that bar so quickly. So I'm going to keep that for my sponges. 😁 Great video!!!

    I've found thru the many years of the dreadful makeup brush cleaning, that Ivory soap or body wash and just using the palm of my hand and fingers does the best job. Then I roll a hand towel up a little and lay my brushes on rolled end so they are elevated a little. It's fast easy and they get super clean. I've bought all kinds of kits. And tried just about everything.. This works the best for me.

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.

  • @OpportunisticOmnivore

    Hey Jess have you ever tried an oil cleanser on your sponges? You cleanse them just like you would do on your face - apply oil cleanser to a DRY sponge (I will either squirt it on to the sponge or will put some in my palm and rub it on), massage around the sponge squeezing to get it inside the sponge. Then you can add a little warm water (just like when doing an oil cleanser on your face) and massage/squeeze more to start emulsifying everything, then more warm water, more massage, more warm water, rinse massage rinse... this sounds like a lot of steps but it actually takes about 30 seconds total. It is a GREAT way to use up an oil cleanser you don’t like on your face (and I know you must get some of those in PR!!). Any oil cleanser works - so long as it emulsifies with water, turns milky, and rinses clean (aka you can’t use something like Eve Lom that requires a cloth to remove because obviously you can’t use a cloth to remove it from the center of the sponge!). I find oil cleanser is so much faster and rinses so much cleaner than the beauty blender cleanser or even the Daiso Puff and Sponge cleanser or face wash or the blender cleanser solid. Give it a try! Note I haven’t used a cleansing BALM on my sponges before, mainly because I don’t have one to try, but do think the liquid oil would permeate down into the stiffer, less porous, DRY sponge than a thicker solid cleansing balm.

    I started trying this recently and it really works. I use my cleansing oil from The Face Shop on my dry sponges that still show foundation or concealer spots that just won’t get out with soap. It’s so much quicker than my Dr. Bronner’s liquid soap and it gets rid of everything. I feel like I’m not using as much product either. I’ll still use Dr. Bronner’s on my brushes - usually liquid on larger ones and solid on my smaller eyeshadow brushes.
