Aww I feel so bad but I'm the size of a mouse and I can't even reach
Her: this brushes are extremely dirty, I've been using them for the past week.
Me, who haven't cleaned my brushes for the past 2 years: 🙃
Me lol
Same lollll 😂😂
Relatable 😂
Omg same
can't believe you don't throw it away
Wow I’m so glad I read the comments before attempting to clean my brushes with this method!
Sameee
Not recommended
What comment ?
Nevermind..
@@sariahlace5944 why
What I learned after watching this video:
READ COMMENTS BEFORE DOING SOMETHING.
true
Thank god I have an addiction to reading comments while listening to the video
I'll see you in rehab haha
Hahaha me too😂🤣
Same😂
me tooooo
Me too
“They’re all nice and dirty “
Lol 😂 that cracked me
Hahah same😂
Literally just did EXACTLY what she said, sat down on the toilet and read the comments to immediately jumping up to take my brushes out of the cup💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Are they alive ?
YES my brushes survived lol I literally had them in for a minute before I took them out
@@jessicawatt8647 that's fortunate. I am glad your brushes are fine. Brushes are expensive.
Seriously though, the comments really do save lives sometimes lol. On these types of videos I always check the comments before watching it
OMG SAME!!! 😂💀
im so glad i read the comments before trying it, I almost just went for it but then i was worried that the vinegar would make them smell so i went back and checked to see what other people thought and I'm glad i did
I’m a makeup artist. I only use bar soaps to clean my makeup tools. First, i will wet my bar soap and makeup sponge and brushes then swirl them around on top of the bar soap and rinse and repeat few times (depends on how dirty your brushes or sponge are). For sponge, you need to swirl then squeeze gently under water and repeat until it’s clean. If you want to be extra clean, just cut the bar soap into small size like hotel bar soap size, clean everything and throw the used small bar soap after. That way, you’ll have left over of the clean bar soap that don’t get contaminated with bacteria.
You can use anti bacterial bar soap or baby bar soap.
Sorry for my bad english. I hope you guys understand what i’m saying.
Exactly what i do!! Didnt know i was doing it like a makeup artist whoo
We understand
Better English than some who have it as only lingo!
tried this and it worked well, thanks!
Your english is perfect, thank you for informing us!
Just put hot water and dish soap in a glass and swirl them around for like 15 seconds.
Vinager is an acid and will eat the glue that holds the brushes together. And they shouldn't be submerged in water for 20 minutes either
YT 5 does this work?
YT 5 nvm I’ll try it on a brush
I heard somewhere that you shouldn't use hot water because it's bad for the glue too
Priscilla Ruiz use warm water and bodywash or shampoo, let the brushes sit for about 10 min and rinse while swirling on your hand or a special brush mat
Can u tell me why does the brush fray after wash them
So ... when I followed your instructions, I saw a comment saying someone’s brushes got ruined .. I immediately took them out , and just cleaned them with baby shampoo, luckily all my brushes were saved except for one which was immediately ruined ... thank-you comments I don’t know what I would do without you all I almost killed my brushes , now I know to read before I actually do it .
We
yeah. Thank goodness I read the comments lol.
How did it ruin your brush though?
So helpful! My brushes are not dirty anymore! CUZ IT JUST DESTROYED THEM, THANKS VERY MUCH
Roman Tlenov I’m sorry I just laughed so hard at this comment! 😩😭
I know right! When she put vinegar in I was so confused, I’ve literally used vinegar to DISOVE glue
*I am a makeup artist myself and I've been cleaning brushes for over 5 years* all you need is a bowl of warm soapy water (prefer dawn dishsoap) or Dove body wash and let them sit in the warm soapy water for 10 mins then GENTLY do swirling motions on the palm of my hands while rinsing it will completely remove all dirt/bacteria/makeup then I grab a towel and gently pat then LET AIR DRY facing DOWN or laying down .. Never dry upward(bristels) will create mold from trapped water. 😇😇🙏
Star Skyy thanks so much!
Star Skyy what do u mean to let it air dry downwards ?
DO NOT USE VINEGAR LADIES.. AND GENTS... it will destroy you glue and could ruin the finish on some brushes. I use Dawn dish soap or an oil based face cleanser. Never had to buy the fancy expensive brush soap and it works just fine with no damage done.
I use an inexpensive clarifying shampoo
Yep. One time I spilled vinegar in a marbke flour and it destroyed it. Imagine brushes 😂
I wish I read this before I ruined my brushes :(
@@paintingart9903 ☹️
So dawn dish wash works?
Give your enemies the dirty brush water as an iced coffee🤫
Omg yes 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes. . . It's perfect *pets cat* JaMeS cHaReLs want an iced cofee 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Autumn killion good idea 😈😂
I DID NOT READ THE COMMENTS AND MY BRUSHES ARE RUINED!! DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS
Olivia Martin The same thing happened to me😭 I tried this a long time ago and it wrecked my brushes, before all the comments warning against it were at the top. I only came back to show my mom the kind of jar I’m looking for.
How did it wreck the brushes? Did the hairs fall out?
@@susanfernandez7475 vinegar dissolves glue
If you use the same vinegar as hers, does it still destroy it
😱
All this time I clean my brush hot water + dish soap + olive oil. This will save your brush guys, most of makeup artist in my country using the same method. We don't use vinegar.
Hey may i ask if coconut oil is fine? :0 if not olive oil? Thanks :3
I am so thankful for the coments, I almost tried this and ruined my brushes!!!
Manuela Moura I’m doing it rn oh no! I just saw your comment I just got new brushes😩
Recommend using some dove body wash or a bar of dove soap and if you use dove body wash rinse your brush put like a dot or too rub it on your hand rinse and keep doing that till it doesn’t look dirty and give it a good rinse if you use dove soap bar wet the brush rub it on the dove soap bar and rinse and reaper till they are clean and put them on a towel to dry
@@wonderpetz9005 your comment is so idiotic. It doesn't matter how expensive your brushes are, almost all make up brushes are glued to together at the base and this method of steeping the brushes in a harsh solution will strip the glue from the base no matter how expensive the brushes are. The brushes with very cheap glue will come apart right away, slightly stronger glues will come apart once they're dry and you're using them on your face. NEVER EVER steep brushes in a solution be it water or something stronger. Always wash them upright one by one, using a bristle mat helps a lot too, painfully annoying but only way to preserve the longevity of all brushes regardless of how expensive they are.
@@graceaya4645 Me too I'm glad I looked through the comments first though, I watched this because I 2anwt3d to know the safest way to clean them!
Then you must have cheap brushes because if you have good quality brush they should not fall apart until 10-15 washes
I'm obsessed with your background it looks so peaceful and clean😍
+Makeuphuney Thank you so much girl 😊
Kayleigh Noelle This is soo helpful!
Yes
Makeuphuney you are a youtuber right
Makeuphuney same
“Imma show you what they look like when there dry” *-buys new ones-* “ok guys”
I was far to lazy to fallow these steps so i put dish soap on the brush and under hot water i rubbed it out.. took 2 minutes and now my brush is clean and ready to be used. Lol
did she just... brushed... her brushes....with her hair brush...
Ari ikr?
Ari
🤯
I think she purchase the comb just for her brushes
So?
@@haileyrenae7884 is a joke...brushed brushes with (hair)brush
So, your mixture gets the brushes really clean, but letting them soak in it like that can weaken the glue holding the bristles, making the brushes not last as long. Also if you dry the brushes at a slant, with the handle ends on a rolled up towel, the water will not stay in the ferrule as long
You have a mind like mine. this is how I did it when I very first tried it on my own and then I searched and realized that I didn't do too bad of a job. Lol
Thank you for sharing this information!! I have all my brushes on a towel drying. This works great! I used the same measurements you gave and they are clean and not damaged at all!
You can tell who read the comments before they commented lol. I’m seeing so many comments sayin “ I just tried this, hope it works!”
For who feel I'm hating on her trust me I'm 100% not, but for those who feel I am please take this video into any Sephora, or M.A.C. and see how any of the makeup artist react to the cleaning of the brushes, because trust me you don't let them soak, and you also do your best to not let the water go past the metal ferrule of the brush, because the ferrule has the glue in it that holds your bristles together and also helps connect the handle to the bristles it helps hold the entire brush together you do your best to not allow any water to get in there because it ruins the brushes whether it be natural or synthetic bristles you don't use alcohol or any other harsh substances on them that would dry them out it ruins your brush no matter how expensive or cheap you choose to buy. Trust me if you use this method one too many times especially on like let's say a Tom Ford brush that you will pay out pretty much $100 on for 1 brush you're going to end up quite upset that a very expensive brush is now ruined. And for anyone thinking I'm putting her down this just goes to show that someone who paid for their education and knows how to properly clean a brush and am try to help you, I'm not putting her down, I have not called her any bad names I am merely trying to help anyone who is wanting to learning how to clean their brushes that this is not a good method at all, so sorry if you choose to see this as im being mean im not. I'm trying to help save your brushes so sorry if you see this as bad
Margaret Dale Same here. I’ve been following this thread for several months and have been trying to warn people to please not use this method. Brushes are an investment, even some drugstore brushes can get pricey. My heart has been absolutely broken reading some of the comments here from those who tried this method and ruined their brushes. 💔💔 If I we’re a TH-camr and I made a video that caused damage to someone’s brush collection, I would be so ashamed and would immediately apologize and try to make things right. Then I would take the offending video down and make an apology video.
On the flip side of the coin, we as subscribers also need to take caution when trying out something we see here. Although you don’t necessarily have to read the entire comments section, reading some of the replies can be helpful. For instance, in this video alone, commenters who have either taken art classes or who otherwise have knowledge about the care of makeup brushes responded immediately warning what would happen. If you do decide to try something you see on TH-cam, proceed with caution. Test it out on one or two things that are cheap and easily replaced, rather than going all out and trying it on your whole collection. If it’s a DIY “beauty hack,” exercise even more caution, or better yet, don’t try it if you have any doubts. Your health and safety isn’t worth risking for some too good to be true “beauty hack.”
Watching beauty and makeup videos is fun and can be informative, and I’m sure making them is quite fun, too, but remember, as an influencer, you have a responsibility to your audience. There’s a wealth of information available on the internet, so please be sure and do your research before making a video. What may seem like a simple video on how to clean your brushes could end up getting you into some unintended trouble.
Were, not “we’re,” stupid autocorrect! 😑🙄
I've done this and RUINED my brushes. Don't do this!
Margaret Dale where’s your method video then ?
Melynda Moon Maybe she’s not a TH-camr. You don’t have to make videos to be knowledgeable in any subject. TH-cam beauty gurus may have a lot of knowledge and experience, but that doesn’t make them all-knowing. They’re people, and people make mistakes like the young lady who made this video (but is unfortunately not taking responsibility for her mistake). Several people here who are makeup artists, artists in general, or who have experience in taking care of makeup tools (who may or may not have their own channels) are trying to HELP here.
make sure you rinse your brushes facing DOWN otherwise the water will break down the glue!
misskvs It Will anyway because she left them in soapy water for 20 minutes.
I use to clean them with soap under running water, but I thought this was a good idea when I saw it.. how should you clean makeup brushes? =)
Fupe1000 I wash mine under running water too. You just have to be careful and make sure that while the brush is under the water, it is facing down.
.
I wasn't talking about running water, I was talking about leaving them in water for 20 minutes :)
This is the most quick and best method i've seen so far to clean makeup brushes, thank you so much!!!
“Between hot and cold” you mean warm?
Also, if you can prop your brush handle up on a wall or something so the bristles are facing down it's better for drying so no additional water gets in the brush head and tears apart the glue holding the bristles in place 😘
And when you have it soaking you should never have the water up above the barrel... And you can just roll or fold a towel behind the brush handles to elevate them that way the bristles don't get messed up
using them the past week......*crickets* O.O ive been using mine for the past 1-2months
I use a cleanser spry that I use almost everyday with my brushes. Key word...almost. After 2-3 weeks maybe a month I'll wash them. I'm just lazy, but my beauty blender I wash every other use.
Heyyy 💖💖
Taylor Manning same
Taylor Manning been using mine for 2 years..
Bailey Bryant look up the video of the girl getting a staph infection from her dirty spooly
I just tried this and it worked SO well! I used to just use the dish soap method but I always found that no matter how much I rinsed it out they'd still be gunky but the vinegar really helped cut the residue! Also helped disinfect them! Highly recommend!
I really loved your beauty sponge cleaning video, it really worked and now I have a clean bunch on sponges to use. So I saw you have a video for cleaning brushes too but thank God I read the comments first! Definitely will not be using vinegar to clean them, I dont want it to fall apart!!
Thanks to all the commenters for saving my brush set!
KAYLEIGH YOURE GORGEOUSSSS!!! 😍❤️

For everyone freaking out about the vinegar, you need to think of the properties of it and Dawn. Dawn dish soap is known for its grease-cutting abilities. They use it on wildlife that has been exposed to crude oil. White vinegar is a distilled acidic substance. It's primary purpose is for cleaning. There are different strengths - common and "for cleaning". The common one is also the one you mix with the colors for Easter eggs. The typical dilution is 50/50 with water. It is also used in good glass cleaner, as it doesn't streak. So, when you combine the vinegar and Dawn, you get a potent cleaner. In this video, she used 1 CUP of water to 1 TABLESPOON of vinegar. That is a 1:16 dilution. If that were apple cider vinegar, you could actually drink it at that ratio. As I said, the typical dilution is 1:1 water to vinegar. At this dilution, even without Dawn, it would be near impossible to ruin the brushes, unless you used the "for cleaning" strength. And it would take sitting virtually overnight fully immersed to do any damage to the glues. If the brushes are cheap, it MIGHT start affecting the glue, but not right away. She also only let them sit for 20 minutes. If there is concern, you can dump the solution and just put straight water in to stop the cleaning proces.
Now, as to what each ingredient does: Dawn - cuts through the grease the the chemical makeup of what's on the brushes. Once that starts getting removed, the acidic quality of the vinegar kicks in and not only helps remove the smaller amounts of makeup, but actually does much of the cleaning of the bristles. The water, obviously dilutes the vinegar but also creates volume for both Dawn and the vinegar.
In other words, STOP FREAKING OUT ABOUT USING VINEGAR. If you think you're going to harm your brushes, use 1 teaspoon vs 1 tablespoon. But it is a very good ingredient as a cleansing agent. If you want to test what I'm saying, take three glasses of water, each with one cup of water. In the first one, put two cups of distilled white vinegar (2:1 ratio). In the second, use one cup of vinegar (1:1 ratio). And in the third, use 1 tablespoon (1:16 ratio). Mix each well (use your finger or a spoon). Put two super cheap water color brushes in each glass - one with nothing on it and the other with dried and caked foundation or concealer. Check after one hour, four hours, 12 hours and then overnight. What's the result? With the 2:1 ratio, you shouldn't have very many bristles left. In the 1:1 ratio, you should see a decent cleaning, and some damage (remember, this is the common glass and countertop cleaning ratio). In the 1:16 ratio, you should only see two clean brushes. And if you want to see the potency of the vinegar on its own, put about 1/4 cup in a glass and then put one of the cheap water color brushes in it. You can almost watch the bristles disintegrate.
In the middle of washing my own brushes with a beauty soap I wondered if there was a better and more hygienic way. I saw this as the first video and was so glad that I started to read the comments! I’m not going to use her method but I’m going to watch the video just to see exactly what she was going to do!
You have some beautiful brushes!!! Makes me want to buy new pretty ones too 😊😊💕
Kaila Mondd Yes same. I already have the pretty brushes though. I got a glass jar filled it with shells and sand. and put my mermaid brushes from amazon! :)

I love how you close your faucet, cause some I see is they REALLY WASTE WATER AND IT'S HURTING ME

You owe me a set of brushes I followed u now my brushes are messed up
Vinager is an acid. And will eat through glue.
Girl all my brushes smell like vinegar now THANK YOU SO MUCH
😭😂😭😂😭😂
Well what did you think would happen?
@@bennu547 :))))
at least they're not ruined like mine
😂 the smell should disappear eventually.
I bought the sigma spa express brush cleaning glove and real techniques brush cleansing palette and both worked wonderful. It’s a really good investment and I use it all the time for deep cleaning my makeup brushes. I don’t have to waste water and my brushes is as good as new. I don’t have to worry about the brush shedding for soaking it in the water for minutes/hours. I used an antibacterial liquid soap to wash my brushes and sponges. Then wrap it (brush hair part only) with a 3 ply tissue and let it dry downwards. So the water goes to the tissue and doesn’t loosen the glue much. Well, that’s how i clean and store mine. I don’t like to air dry and expose the brush hairs or beauty blenders as it will caught a lot of dust as well as germs/bacteria. It’s something I use for my face and i want it squeaky clean. So yeah, the tissue helps a lot to create that barrier between the dust/germs/bacteria and my makeup applicators. It doesn’t break me out since I have sensitive skin. Try it :)
“There all dirty, I’ve been using them for the past week”
Me: ummm I haven’t cleaned my in a looonnggg time... oops
You probably don’t need to wash your brushes once a week, that seems excessive.
Lauren Harding I just cleaned mine for the first time in like a year💀💀
I just buy new ones hahahha or swipe them on my arm/tissue 🙄😅😅 but I'm gonna wash them now
i haven't in 2 years
Comments are super helpful! It was my first makeup brush set and I was ready to wash this, when I was just about to try this I looked at the comments and luckily I did, because my brushes would have been ruined!!! Comments save brushes lives lmao. I eventually just mixed a small amount of oil and dish soap and mixed just the bristles through it, the. I tilted the brushes downwards under cold water (so the glue didn’t disappear) and gently washed the mixture out of the bristles. I then got a towel (one side folded to lean them against) I faced the bristles downwards so the water wouldn’t run up the brush to the glue and let them dry over night. They were as good as new! They felt soft and were all white like they were originally!
USE THE PINK ZOTE SOAP BARS. IT CLEANS MAKEUP BRUSHES VERY WELL AND COSTS ONLY $1.00 AT WALMART!
Brown Skin60 yasss
What about white, ? Zote?
MCccc7 Cortes the white one has bleach in it which may mess up the brush or if they’re colorful it might take away the color
@@Mukbangco oh ok..thanx! :)
Oh bruh i used to use that shit to hand wash my period panties 😥😥😥
I wash them as I always have. Dish soap and olive oil :) I remember you used to wash them like that. Always have those two in the kitchen so its cheaper and it works. Never ruined any of my brushes. The higher end and the cheaper ones :))
SandraOlufsen that's how I clean all mine too 😂 works perfectly fine for me
SandraOlufsen do you soak them like she did?
I dont but you can. I usually mix dish soap and a little olive oil in a little bowl and dip the brushes lightly in it and rub it gently against my hand under running water.
SandraOlufsen, I know this is old but does any olive oil work?
Vina yeah any regular olive oil should do fine
Isn't that gonna break up the glue if u leave it in water for 20 mins?
Nyce Yes, yes it will.
nugget just don’t let it soak obviously
If you're going to let them soak for 20 minutes definitely don't have the water so far up... Just below the barrel
It’ll seep into ferrule, for sure. Do not follow this advice. When studying to be a MUA, they specifically told us to NEVER soak your brushes.
Please don’t follow this.
@@ryxzcuh then what tf do i do
you’re actually so pretty! I saw you in my recommended 😍
All these years later and this is still how I clean my brushes. It is an easy effective solution!
The dirt reminds me of light coffee 😂
I like to use shampoo and conditioner because my brushes are basically hair and it works great 👍🏻
Omg works amazing! I’m shocked at how well this worked!! Great job!
I TOOK YOUR ADVICE! So far, IT WORKS!!! I didn't have to scrub them aggressively or anything. It just cleans itself, almost immediately, but leaving it definitely did the job. I thought the vinegar would make it stink, but it really doesn't. I had used different products but basically did the same thing: vinegar, detergent, and baby shampoo to soften the brushes. Now we just wait until they dry. ♥
Hey babe ♥️ just a little update: I’ve been cleaning my beauty blender and my makeup brushes the way you showed on your two videos and Honestly nothing compares to how good they turn out!!! Thank youuuuuu💖
I tried this last night and my brushes came out so clean! I haven't seen my brushes this clean is such a long time. Thanks for sharing this tip!!
I tried this about 3 months ago and my brushes came out perfectly clean. I have an upside down brush spinner that gets all the water out and then I lay them down. Being upside down while spinning also brings them back to their original shape. I didn’t realize that this was bad for my brushes though. :(
Girl this ruined my makeup brushes
I used this method for the first time and only time out of desperation because I don’t have my usual cleaners.... came out fine but as I was rinsing them I swirled them in a bit of coconut oil on my hand to give them so conditioning. Didn’t ruin my brushes but I also didn’t soak them for more than 5 minutes and I used way less solution and a dribble of vinegar. I used more dish detergent than vinegar so maybe that’s why I got lucky. Usually I use baby wash but ran out.
thank you! very pleased with the results! I just went ahead and also cleaned my beauty blender with the same method and it seemed to work just as well (although it takes forever to get out all of the dish soap from the spongy material lol!)
I used this method. I had to do it twice because my brushes were so dirty. Worked magically! I think it’s smart to use a little less vinegar if you’re nervous about ruining the bristles
I used Dr Bronners Castille Soap to get the makeup off my brushes - worked like a charm!
Sure does!👍👍👍
Me too!
It’s the best!! I use it to clean just about everything! Great for house cleaning too!
The Jeni Vlog Show i do too!!!!! The best ever for brushes & beauty blenders!
Dr.Bronners Peppermint Soap, will clean everything 😍 👌
Definitely need to try this out!
Extremely helpful.
I have wanted to find a tutorial like this for a bit. Yours couldn't be more easy and I
Appreciate you taking the time to make it for me and others who need to know. 😊 👍
Out of all the methods I saw, this is the best one 😍 thank u
This turned out to be a great way for me to clean my brushes. It didn't break down the glue, and vinegar is a common and acceptable cleaning agent for lots of things. The ratio is a table spoon to a cup of warm water and mild dish soap. This is hardly aggressive. Nice job showing us this technique.
WARNING!
In earlier comments people warn you not to try this method because they got their brushes ruined. I haven't tried this so I can't say for sure if it's true, but I think I don't want to test it and push my luck. Brushes cost so much that ruining them would be tragic. The soap bar or the brush egg method seems much safer!
You JUST saved my life ❤️ I love you girl
I have literally just used this method to clean my brushes and although the white bristles have a slight stain on them, IT WORKED 😁😁 thank you so much ♥
I love how she turn the water off whenever she doesn’t use it, for the environment bro❤️
Don’t listen to her. I followed her and my brush bristles are completely fallen out from the handle. Sad sad 😞 😡😭
Wolfy *hugs* 😢
The quality of the brushes depends on if they fall out. But if you're going to still use her method don't have the water go past up the barrel of the brush. Typically just below. Or get a sponge put some dish soap on it and rub your bristles on the sponge and then rinse it clean holding the bristles downward, blot it dry and let it out to sit on an angle on a towel or paper towels.. so the water will run out of the barrel if there's any in it. Good luck... The second way is how I clean cheaper brushes
Wolfy maybe your brushes are bad quality
Yeah it's better to just put it in something shallow or dip and brush it around your hands. The part the brushes are stuck to isn't supposed to get wet for that reason
Wolfy yea I was like vinegar?! I just use B&BW hand soap. End up smelling amazing
Excellent information!! Thank you!! I was frustrated trying to clean mine but I will do this tomorrow!!
Ronni Martin you liked your own video sometimes I do that to and I also liked your video
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this cleaning solution! I use a brush mit with this It cleans so much better than the solution I bought from walmart.
Alright so she said to put your “Brush Routine” so here I go
1) Get your nasty brushes a rinse
2) Fill a solo cup with 1/4 water depending on the cup size
3) Put Facial toner and face wash/foam in the cup
4) One brush at a time spin those puppies around for 30 seconds
5) Rinse the soap off
6) Dry on a paper towel
7) Bam you are done
Emily M wait toner cleans brushes?? I have so a giant bottle of toner from mario badescu, and another giant one from pixi and then a mini one from pixi🤩🤩
Idk why this made me laugh like the nasty brushes and puppies lmao I'm weird xD
Thank goodness for comment sections. I’m new to using makeup brushes and almost tried to kill my only set. From what I learned:
1) don’t use vinegar it’ll eat the glue, I just used a little dish soap
2) don’t soak them in hot water, especially not for 20 minutes the glue will melt. I swirled each brush gently in a glass with warm water and a squirt of dish soap, then put it under the faucet and gently swirled on my palm, squished it a little to get out excess water and put it on a towel. The brushes came out very clean for me, they looked new (and they are bright white).
3) do not under any circumstances dry them bristle side up, this will trap the water and the brush will get moldy. It’s best to dry them facing downward, though laying flat will do. I angled mine against a little fan and on top of a wash cloth to dry and they dried well.
Please note: I was cleaning my eye makeup brushes and they are quite small. I’m not 100% how the drying method I used would work on larger makeup brushes. I believe that it’ll work but I’m not completely certain since I’ve never tested it.
I hope this helps.
I’ve never found a technique work better than this does. Thank you!!
I used that beauty blender hack yesterday and it's good and iam gonna try this now.thank you
I clean my brushes like you do the Beauty Blender. I've tried the vinegar thing but it didn't work well and I don't like submerging my brushes. The bar soap technique works well for me. I have never seen my brushes so clean.
Marie T. Bar soap is safest. No soaking. Ingredients in bar soap cleans them better than liquid soap. Agree.
I was watching this on my TV when I paused, went and got the ingredients, and set my brushes in the water for over an HOUR. I always look at the comments but this time I was in a rush to clean up and decided to trust it. Even though I thought using vinegar and dish soap to clean face brushes sounded weird. Thankfully nothing happened to my brushes, but I’m confused on why the creator still has this video up. Ironically it’s the first one that poos up after you search.
I used to dread cleaning my makeup brushes until I tried your technique. This works, thank you!
Omg so needed mine cleaned was really helpful ❤️
You should a brush egg which is like the sigma mat but small and works better in my opinion ☺️ it's only $1 from websites like eBay, amazon, or the wish app. Its amazing I've had mine for 2 years and it still looks brand new !!
gonna try your soap concoction but without the hot hot water. steaming hot water has destroyed the glue in my brushes so I've learned that lesson! also I prefer to dry them with the bristles facing down :)
how do you store them facing down?
This was awesome. Something about the vinegar really gets the brushes clean and you don’t have to spend a lot of time on it (or money). Thank you! I also used a fine toothed comb and it worked just fine (but I like your little comb...I may have to order!).
Worked amazing!!! 🎉😮❤ I love this method now
I use bar soap. It works. No soaking, just enough to clean and rinse off right away. Just any liquid soap does not work, but am curious about Dawn as an exception. Thank you for the idea. I am still happy with the bar soap. It was very fast and worked very well.
I wash my brushes using the 1$ mexican bar soap called Zote, IT WORKS WONDERS. But I definitely need to try this jar method, thanks girl 💛 Also, Im really happy to see you smiling again, you deserve the best 💛💛💛
Do not do it u will ruin your brushes
Princess Jaida this jar method will ruin the brushes?
yes it will loosen the glue and make your brush fall apart!
Jenny S. .
Lisseth Chavez me too
This is a great video I'll have to try it on Tuesday morning where I clean up my brushes.
Im a new subscriber to your channel and I love your technique to clean your brushes! Very helpful thanks 😊
Thank you! This worked great !my brushes are super soft and clean it's like they were brought back to life!!! Great advice
Dish soap and a little olive oil works wonders and doesn't ruin your brushes, doing this method will make the bristles fall out...
Rainn do you soak the bristles in the oil and soap? I genuinely dont know how to clean my brushes😂
Rainn I’ve noticed coconut oil cleans mine well, so I’m curious if that could be a substitute for olive or vinegar. But I’ve never submerged them like this in a jar. Just used the standard brush cleaner egg shaped tool.
Rainn oh and sulfate free shampoo instead of dish soap. So combo of coconut oil and shampoo on the egg tool
Can I use makeup remover oil instead of olive oil?
just tried that and it destroyed them :(
You literally said hey I'm kylie and I immediately subscribed 😂
You are sooooo pretty and thanks soo much for the tips
awww thanks so much kayleigh!! i had sooo much fun explaining to my mom why all my makeup brushes suddenly broke 😄
hi .. just wondering if the vinegar is too much for the brushes? and isn't soaking them in water for twenty minutes going to get the water up the metal part where the brush hairs are glued?
Marwa Ragaa Yes, don't do this! I did this today. It completely ruined all of my makeup brushes. Thanks to her!
yeah... this just doesn't seem like a good idea...
Marwa Ragaa yep
She’s just showing how she cleans her and it works for her so don’t go blaming her like she made you do it
Maria Colon She really needs to take this video down. I mean, she may not get sued, but she’ll make plenty of people mad if they try this method and end up ruining their brushes.
Casually puts magical unicorn horn brushes in front of me and doesn't mention a thing about them! Such torture 😱 Any details about them or how you like them??
+Ashley A Lol 😆 The rose gold set is from Zaful. The purple unicorn set from Hush.
Kayleigh Noelle ty!!! I was wondering the same thing!!! 💗🦄
Kayleigh Noelle I just finished trying this out. All of my makeup brushes that I worked so hard for are ruin because I trusted you. I bought the same exact products you used and did the same exact thing you did. Now my brushes are RUINED😢😢😢😢
You can get unicorn ones at forever 21 aswell
Ashley A i have similar ones and they're so soft!I love them.I got them at eBay but I can't remember how much they were
I might have to try this on my paint brushes as well!
it works and i just use this method and wash all my brush thank you so much ❤️😘😍
IM CRYING RN, IT JUST DESTROYED MY BRUSHES! 😭 F*CK PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS FIRST. ESPECIALLY IF U’RE NEW IN EXPLORING THE ART OF MAKE UP :((
Though this seems like a great method, consider your liquid to container size ratio. The liquid should NOT touch the ferrule of your brush at all, if possible, especially for an extended period of time. Inside is where the glue sits and holds thousands of bristles to form the makeup brush that you LOVE. Soaking this part will cause the glue to soften and breakdown. If your brush never or rarely has fallout, and you start to see it more often after washing your brushes like this- you've broken down some of the glue. Gently comb out any loose bristles then see if it's still useable, if it's not, then time for a replacement.
Use a smaller container and only put a LITTLE liquid. Do your large and smaller brushes SEPARATELY. It'll be easier to gauge how much liquid you need to add or pour out so it's ONLY touching the bristles. I hope this helps! This is a great cleaning method IF DONE CORRECTLY....otherwise it'll ruin your brushes
OMG! What a great way to *actually* clean makeup brushes.
This video was really helpful I’m going to try this now
This is going to save me so much money!
Courtney McGuire a you're trying find a cheap way to clean your brushes try the brush egg it's a dollar and it works AMAZING and comes in different colors :) you can get it from eBay, amazon, and the wish app. Also try using zote soap with is a huge pink bar that one 97 cents that you can get almost anyway but I got mine from Walmart. This way is super cheap, last a very very long time and works better than anything I've even tried. ☺️
Nanda Panda yep, I have one and I love it. I even wash my beauty sponges with it :)
You could also use any soap bar.
Courtney McGuire actually cause you more
Money!! This technique will ruin your brushes!
Courtney McGuire plz don't do it if you read the rest of the comments people will say it will make the bristles fall off and it ruined all of someone's brushes
ah! this is what i've lookin for! thank uou so much 😘👌🏻😊💕
I’ve came back and watched this video tons of times. I even bought the comb after watching it the first or second time
It worked fantastically!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!❤️
