I find that once a brush is used a few times, it affects how my makeup looks. I am 63 and I need all the help I can get 😂 Would you do a video about foundatio? Silicone verses water-based, which is best for who or what? Application particulars, etc. Love your brushes!
Would love to see a video as well on silicon vs water based and which is better for skin type. Ive also heard you must use the same type of primer. How do you know if you use different brands?? Please help :)

Thank you so much Nikki !!! My toxic trait is buying new brushes because I am too lazy to wash them. Also been putting it off because I felt like I should invest in a brush cleaner. Now I know that I never needed it. Back in the days I also always used Dawn and good old olive oil. Going to take the time to get this task out the way this week. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge with us and FOR FREE!!! We are forever grateful for you . Every time I see a new upload from you, I feel like it’s such a treat . You are so amazing . We love you so much ❤❤❤
I do exactly what you do to clean my brushes except I use Ivory soap and I slways dry on a clean towel and I press and reshape every single brush and then I move them to a drier area of the towel so they dry faster but I do leave them to dry overnight. I have been doing this the same way for years and if you are careful with washing and drying your brushes, they will last for decades.
@@AudriannaB-World-Peaceme too, and it feels faster on cleaning vs using Dawn dish soap or dish soap in general. Cleans good and rinses out fast!
Am so addicted to watching you Niki. Whether it's makeup or cleaning brushes, you totally capture the attention of your audience.
You do have by far the best how-to videos out there. Regardless of the topic at hand. Great job and appreciate your work. Always informative and honest. P.S. I hope your brushes are available to purchase in the EU.
I been using ZOTE soap for years
I think that they are, but I can’t find the info I thought I read or heard in order to back that up…😬
I was thinking the same!
Watching and immediately started washing my brushes. You actually simplified it for me and I learned I was doing it very wrong. Thank you!
I love the simplicity and how thorough you are with your techniques, ideas and recommendations.
Thank you SO much, Nikki. I was so helpful to see how much pressure you apply and the swipe method to keep from splaying the bristles. I loved the cameo appearance by Mitch and the boys! 😊
You made me love doing my makeup. You give the best and most achievable tips💕. Thank you for that.
This is the best compliment ever! Thank you!!!!❤❤❤
I have recently found you and have been SO inspired! I worked for M.A.C for years and did freelance makeup for about 10 years. I'm getting back into TH-cam after a 7 year break. I miss makeup so much and you've lit the fire inside me even more!! Thank you for your amazing and informative content. I will forever watch, listen, and learn. 💞
I have used the Nuetrogena original bar soap for years. It’s superb for brushes. I have had a natural hair Chantecaille brush for 20+ years and looks the same as the day I bought it!😊
I’m gonna wash my brushes with confidence now. Thanks Nikki!!
I had no idea you can wash multiple brushes together. I was washing one brush at a time and it was taking forever 😂. I also did not know you can use Dawn dish soap! I was buying special makeup brush cleaning soaps from Sigma. I am totally trying Dawn and a bar soap. This video was fabulous and will save me so much time and money ❤
Great video!!!I appreciate how you actually modeled how to clean the brushes!
Thank you!! And so happy you found it helpful!!
Aquis towels work so well for drying brushes because they are so absorbent. Thanks for the lesson - I've really been wanting someone to do this!
Love your artistry and channel, Nikki!! I’ve been binge watching your vids after I recently found you through Allie Glines!! Your pro tips have been so helpful to me already and renewed my interest in doing my makeup!
I have to tell you that your BK Pro makeup brushes are at the very tiptop of my Christmas list this year!!
When washing my makeup brushes, I only add two things to what you taught in this fabulous tutorial…
*First, after I squeeze water out of the clean brushes and check for soap, I also squeeze them with a microfiber towel to get as much water out as possible….
*Secondly, I do use an inexpensive WHITE washcloth (or any old towel) to further dry them and make sure that there is no makeup left in them!!!
Thank you for your sweet personality and sharing all your amazing talent with us!! 😊
This was so helpful. I actually cleaned a few of my brushes with Dawn during the video. I was using The Masters Brush Cleaner and realized it wasn’t getting my foundation, concealer and blush brushes completely clean
The Masters Brush cleaner is for artist brushes. Great for my watercolor brushes
Just received your brushes from BK Beauty and so far I am loving them! Congratulations on an amazing launch!! Thank you for the brush cleaning tips!! ♥️
I’m so excited for you and thank you SO MUCH for supporting me! I hope you love them as much as I do! Glad you found this video helpful !
The dr bronners liquid is a concentrate. I use the peppermint for hand soap and the unscented for hand washing delicates. You have to dilute it WAY down. I buy a full gallon of the peppermint for about $55 and that amount lasts two full years for hand washing. I have one foam pump in my bathroom that gets used 12-15 times a day and one in my kitchen that gets used 1-5 times a day. I buy the unscented in quart bottles for about $16 each and fill one of those 10oz continuous spray bottles. For both hand washing and delicates, I use 1.5 Oz of liquid soap and fill the pump/spray bottle (slowly! or it will foam up) with water from my fridge filter pitcher. The only time I ever used Dr. Bronners liquid undiluted was to clean up a pet accident on the floor. I can’t speak to anything regarding the bar versions, since I haven’t bought any (yet - I will check them out specifically for my makeup brushes).
Bronners you can get at Marshals and TJ Maxx (and brush cleaner for spot cleaning and those brush pads for the sink) for a lot less and they always have a bunch of scents. Bar soaps I agree work way better. Shea Moisture bars work beautifully and the bars are huge, it’s affordable and it doesn’t leave that residue or suds you fight to rinse clean (especially at the base of the bristles.) Just trying to save y’all some money if you want any of these but don’t wanna pay such a steep price.😊 Bars though are the way to go, imo. The African Soap (black) of Shea Moisture I think does the best job breaking down foundation, concealer, liquid liner etc but they all work exceptionally well for that.
I like using any brand of Goats milk bar soap. Conditioning but also deep cleaning.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I have been dipping my brushes in the cinema secrets cleaner 😢 now I know the proper way to clean them!
I have been following you for a year now, and I have learned so much! There are many products you have recommended that I have purchased after watching your video.
I’m 70 years young, and love wearing makeup! You are a gem! I love watching your videos! 💋
I use Palmolive’s basic olive soap for all my brushes. It takes off all my foundation and blushes. No stains left. No residue left.
Thank you thank you thank you Nikki!!!! This was so helpful! Better than any other videos I've seen. Some didn't clean them well enough, some were too ridiculous. This just works amazing. You guys are awesome!!!
Nikki, your gorgeous frames reminded me of a video I will need soon, and I know others would love "How to do your makeup so it still looks attractive under glasses" especially evening & fun looks. My love of makeup had me not wearing my last pair and I eventually lost them. I really need to wear them though. I need more than "Wear a bold lip." We certainly have great frames these days but yeah, help!! ALSO, I have been using micellar water on my brushes lately to spot clean. I figure if it is safe for my face, it shold be OK for my brushes. Any thoughts? It certainly works well. It is jut for me, though. Zote is a laundry soap. I can't see that being OK for any brushes except synthetic, non fiber ones
Yes, for sure!! I’d love to see this!
I buy Dr Bronner’s at my local co-op. Maybe prices are lower here in the Midwest as opposed to California.
Nikki, you are so right about Dawn dish soap. The new blue variety is watered down. The “good” one is Platinum Plus!
I was thinking the same thing when she said $25 for the small bottle it’s much much cheaper where I live
I would love to see a jewelry video. Your jewelry choices are always on point.
Can you do a video of how you wash your beauty blenders and how long you keep till you replace them and how do clean your fluffy powder brushes?
I am really enjoying this Q&A! You have explained thoroughly how to wash brushes.
This is a comprehensive how-to which has reasons for everything!
I used to soak my brushes which made the wood flake.
Thank you again! You are truly an expert!❤️
I LOVE YOUR PUPS❤️❤️❤️❤️!
Thanks so much for this video Nikki! I will be getting some Dr Bronners tomorrow.. I used Dawn on my sponges and I thought I was going to die of old age at the sink rinsing out the suds.
Very good & helpful brush cleaning information Nikki. I had been hunting for a good yet economical cleanser! Im so encouraged now!! Loved the hands on demo. Thank you so kindly! ❤
I love washing my brushes with head and shoulders shampoo. They feel so nice and fresh afterwards
Oh, and I forgot to mention in my previous comment your make up brushes I’ve been a game changer. Making morning make up before work so easy and such a wonderful experience. Thank you for creating those.
Ahhh THANK YOU so much!!!! This made my day!!!
Yes!! I noticed the same thing about dawn. It has been water down! You just confirmed my suspicions.
I REALLY like the tip about using the Dawn in water in a bowl! I have been lazy to clean my brushes regularly because it’s so time consuming one brush at a time (my usual method!!!) so your tip to wash several at a time, and swishing in soapy water first…for me this is game changing!🤯
Thank you for this video! I love your channel and just how you teach and explain. So glad the algorithm brought your channel to my feed!
Ahhh!! That makes me so happy you found these tips helpful!! Thank you so much for watching! Hopefully now it’s less of a chore for you!
Thank you so much for this video ❤ I always worry not doing things right and super grateful to hear cost effective cleaning products….
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!!
This was a much needed live! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks! ❤
I agree about the Dawn. When I fill my kitchen sink it takes more soap to suds up and the suds don’t last very long. My husband has noticed this as well.
Nikki, that was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I like to roll the towel up on side to put the tips of the handle on so that the water can run "down hill" as they dry...
I started using your method, and it is so much faster than what I was doing. I was using my gentle facial cleaner. Thank you for showing your method. ❤
I use bar soap for sponges and purity made simple for brushes. Both work great!
I love using hotel bar soap!! I just keep them from when I go on trips and they usually will give me a few!
Awesome video. I have been cleaning my makeup brushes so wrong. 😢 watching this video is a make up brush maintenance game changer. thank you so much
I love washing my brushes so I always have clean tools. I have a big bottle of Simple truth Castile soap that works well. I’ve also used micellar water, and a spray of alcohol to disinfect them.
I tend to place the brushes at the end of the counter where the bristles hang off the counter. so that it can dry evenly. Thank you this was most helpful. ❤
same! for ages :)
Huge fan from Sofia, Bulgaria ❤
Hi, my very best Greets from Germany 🥰💕❣️
I agree absolutely to you...and now also with the Way you are cleaning your Brushes and s.o.!
I was the "Hygiene-Teacher" in my Hospital while I was working there as the Leader Midwife. And we have had the best Results in Germany in all neo-and postpartal Studies, we are very proud of that!
You explained all Questions here very well ❣️👏👏👏
Have a nice Week, my best Regards 💕👏❣️🥰
YESSSSSSSS I’m a nurse -and that’s one the first things I learned in microbiology is that ALL SOAP is antimicrobial. Keep in mind- you’re not “sterilizing” your brushes, merely degreasing them!
Hi Nikki, This is a great subject, thanks for taking the time to explain the process you use etc. I use hair shampoo that has no silicone, phosphates etc. and my brushes come out beautifully. I might be all wrong, but it does seem good for me, but you have a point about bacteria.
Thank you so much Niki I've been soaking my brushes instead of doing it thus way you rock and you are very detailed thankyou for that😊
Hi Nikki, funny I always thought 🤔 that Dawn Dishwashing liquid would be too harsh for brushes, but if it's good for you, it's good for me !! 👍 Thanks so much for all this info !!! 😘
Thank you Nikki for this tutorial! I learned quite a bit. I will definitely follow your routine. 🤗
Now I’m washing my brushes after this. I’ve been putting it off. Ty ❤️
Thank you for this video Nikki. I never thought to put the dawn in the water. That saves so much more dawn. Thanks alot
I find dishsoap dries out brushes. I use a mild hand soap. It works great on all the brushes I use. I also handwash without using any cloth or paper towels. I soak them after rubbing them in a bar of mild bar soap. I also air dry the brushes overnight.
Tiktok has never been a place you can get good info 😂 love the spot clean tip, thanks!
This was soooo helpful!!!! WOW i never knew you could wash your brushes with just dawn and water! I was spending money on those expensive liquids and they were going down so fast like you mentioned. This is so much better!! THANK YOU!!!
Pink Zote bar works great too! I used to buy the beauty blender solid soaps until I found out about the pink zote. It's around 1$ for a huge bar.
Most useful video I’ve watched in a while - THANK YOU!!
Watching the replay Nikki I was waiting for this video, haven’t use the brushes just because I knew this view was coming and I’m one of those who wash the brushes very frequently and I want to give them an excellent care for sure😂😂😂thank you very much 😘
Thank you!! Been obsessing over all of your videos and now I have a bunch of dirty brushes! This is just the video I needed!
✨❤️This video should come with EVERY brush purchase, always ‼️❤️✨
It’s exactly the same technique as to clean brushes for artistic painting. I brought with me this black soap with palm oil (from France) for cleaning brushes which have been used with oil paints, after the turpentine cleaning. It’s not meant to be use for acrylic brushes. I suppose it would be harsh too on makeup brushes but it smells so good, I can’t find this same black soap here in USA. I will try the soap that you are showing and the dish soap too. I suppose that my Mrs Meyer’s dish soap is not antibacterial enough.
Loved this once we actually got to the tips (just wish it hadn’t been 12 minutes in!). Thank you!
Started following you a while ago and now exclusively! Luv you wanted to support you and purchased these brushes and love them so much! 💙💙💙💙
HI Nikki!!!!
It's Gord from TO!!!!
Thank you for this episode.
I always love your explanations and ideas!
Huge hugs. Thank you for your content. XG 💋 💖
Great and informative video-I’m on the east coast and ended up napping when I should have been watching (too many carbs for lunch!). Since you were talking about cleaning lip brushes, what lip brushes do you use? Would love to watch a video showing which to use and how to properly use it/them when applying lip color as a liner, etc.
Thanks again, and I hope you have a fantastic week!!
Dawn Platinum still works really well & is still concentrated (as of the bottle I bought last month).
Great video. Thanks Nikki!! I'm currently using Clean Apothecary Brush Shampoo and the Fresh cleansing oil for stubborn stains if needed. For spot cleaning I use the Bang For Your Brush cleaner from an Australian brand called Saint Jack. It's basically like the Cinema Secrets one but smells nicer lol. I never thought to use a bar soap for sponges so will start doing that.
hello Nikki! Greetings from Singapore! I had doubts on brush maintenance before I watched this video, due to my laziness (left my foundation brush to rot for 2yrs b4 i washed it 😂). After watching this video, I had the confidence to your brushes and finally ordered! It's my first time owning a good set of brushes and hope to think out of the box! ❤
I always use zote, it's in the laundry soap area. It's a bar and I cut it into 4 pieces. I use it everyday to clean my sponges also. Does a great job! So cheap too, a bonus!!
Me too !!!! I also cute into 4 pieces so I won’t waste so much soap 🧼 and I store it in a ziplock bag for when I need more
When I’m not using liquid soap, I use this, too! It’s fantastic.
Gonna try this.
Funny, I always thought 🤔 that the Dawn Dishwashing liquid would be too harsh 😋 for bushes but if it's good for you, it's good for me !!!! 😁
This video was fantastic! I learned so much. I bought your brushes when they came out and absolutely love them.💝
I love Zote Soap for cleaning my brushes. Been using it for at least 10 years and never had any issues.
I’d love to see a video where you (or a viewer) chooses a makeup item and create a makeup look around it - berry lipstick, coral blush, etc.
I love Dr. Bronner's liquid soap. The price is not that high at Target. Thanks for this video. I will try Dawn.
How long does it take for the brushes to dry fully before one can use them again? You are the smartest makeup artist I have ever heard! Keep up the great job!
I have used Zote soap bar for more than 5 years is the best for me !!!! I clean my brushes super fast .
Hi Nikki! I had been neglecting my brushes for a week and a half so I finally washed them while watching this video 😂. What do you think about the mini soap bars from hotels to clean your brushes? I’ve used it plenty this year since I started doing my makeup, but I’ve always wondered if it’s too drying… 0 experience here. You said brushes will let me know with time BUT I really don’t want them to get to that point hahaha.
Thank you for all you do, it’s been really cool to learn to do my makeup from a makeup artist & teacher like you! ❤
Try pink zote bar! They have a white one too. 🧼🫧
They use Dawn on wildlife they is contaminated by oil spills. To me that says a lot! Thank you for this video. It answers questions I've had for years.😊
So useful! I was wondering how to clean brushes.
Thank you !
I cut the bar soap in half before I use it. Thanks for the helpful information!❤
Thank you for doing this video!!!❤❤❤❤❤
emu oil bar soap I use for cleaning my hands and sponge and brushes. Then Dawn dish soap. I found helps with the eczema on hands and it cleans great. It's like $2.25 in Canada 🇨🇦 😊.
Where did you buy Emu oil bar soap in Canada?🇨🇦
@@jbox0612 bulk barn or goodness me
instead of your dawn step, i put them in micellar water, and after, a dove bar, but i will do it with dawn now and your suggestion of bar soap, dawn less expensive than micellar water, thanks a lot 🌹🇨🇦
Hi Nikki, another great product to wash makeup brushes is CeraVe cleanser 😊just as much as how effective it is to take the makeup off my face it does a great job with the brushes too ❤
That’s good to know I’ve never tried that for brushes!! I’ll have to look into it for sure!!
The love that Nikki shows by making sure to address all the names ❤
The best way to dry your brushes is with a brush tree. I've picked up one on Ebay for $10 or less and another one from the Dollar Tree. Hangs the brushes upside down and prevents water from collecting in the ferrule.
I use a brush tree too. I first use Dawn for harder cleansing brushes like foundation, concealer,, & lipstick. Followed by Zote soap. It's hasn't dried any of my brushes out. I'm not a rough on the bristles. The silicone pad helps to dislodge dirt particles. I find Zote soap gets all the synthetic dyes out of the bristles with less effort.
I use Dawn Platinum and it’s so concentrated and thick it only takes a drop .. and sometimes I use the Dawn spray too …
I have to say your videos and lives have been so insanely helpful for me and have inspired me sooo much I can’t thank you enough! Absolutely love your content thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Dial bar soap(YELLOW!!) works the best for me! It breaks down anything easily especially lips and foundations that are more difficult to get rid off of brushes. It has to be the yellow one! Trust me on this one 😉
This is the one I use too. I love how clean it gets my foundation and concealer brushes.
I've used Zote soap for yrs. It's never dried my natural fiber bristels out. It gets all the synthetic dye out too. I do use Dawn as a first step for foundation, concealer, or lipstick cleansing followed by Zote soap. I dry my brushes hanging upside down.
I use Irish soap bar and the same silicone mat as shown in the video, it gets the job done. For natural bristles I always use brush guards so the bristles won’t puff out when drying.
Thank you so much! Your olive oil trick removed dried-in foundation that Is*cl34n left behind! Won't be buying expensive brush soaps again 💗
Yes Wayne Goss filmed! YES! Oh man I cannot wait. I wish you had his cream foundation to do that look - I am assuming he was out of your shade. I just got his brushes - so good! Next up - YOUR brushes!
Great video! Sorry I missed the livestream. Dr. Bronner’s soap is $15.99 for a 32 oz. at Target. Congratulations on your brush launch with BKBeauty. I’ve not had the opportunity to purchase them yet but I probably will next year. Thanks Nikki!
Target has Dr. Bronner’s bar soap 4.99 Target!
I really love the way you do make up so amazing. you are really my favorite make up artist and pretty as well. San Diego here.
you really help us a lot and are so generous with your knowledge!! ❤
This video was so helpful!!! Thank you.
I wash all my brushes with dove soap like literally every thing comes out, but I have not gotten your brushes yet so I will keep this advice! I actually love cleaning brushes right away because the future me thanks this so much🤣
I use the dove baby body wash!
@@marinadelapaz8772 oh there’s a body wash of doves too I didn’t know!
I love a large sink, so jealous !
I love the idea of the bar soap you recommended... it comes with a tea tree option... which is a disinfectant. I usually wash in my palm as well... like to feel the clean bristles.
Loved this video and learned so much. I am very vigilant about cleaning mine but I was doing a couple things wrong. I am so thrilled I found you from Lisa and will be a constant viewer. Getting your brushes in the New Year due to buying all the BK beauty brushes and Angie’s. Thank you and Happy Holidays!!!
