~-~~-~~~-~~-~
NOTE: You can use the same alcohol in the jar you've poured but at the same time - but realistic - its is 90 days old! If so, change it. I change mine all day long - but i'm using lots of makeup and brushes etc...
There are two things I spend real money on. A good foundation and brushes. You can do more with bad makeup and good brushes than good makeup and bad brushes.
Brushes are the one area I spend money. It's a worth while investment.
There are a few ways to clean your brushes and soap and water is just fine if that's your preference.
Most makeup companies sell brush cleaners - and some contain a small amount of alcohol. These are fine too.
BUT for me I want to know my brushes are clean. Hospital grade clean. If someone I'm working on has an eye infection (that I can't see or they aren't aware of), cold sore, acne etc... I want to know that the cleaning solution I use will kill all bacteria - 100% to hospital grade.
I use 99% alcohol and it cleans the brush in seconds and depending on the size they're dry within 60 seconds to 5 minutes.
I clean my brushes everyday. Sometimes 3x a day. My brushes haven't dried out or turned corse. Some of my brushes are years old and they're still great - even with this frequent cleaning.
Never take a chance with cleaning your brushes especially if you're using them on other people.
5 litres of brush cleaning fluid will cost you about £30 and will last you 5 years.
All my makeup (eyeshadows, foundation, powders etc...) is cleaned and disinfected with beauty so clean spray. I cannot tell you how many makeup artists I've worked with who's kit was filthy. It's not pretty and I wouldn't want someone working on me with dirty makeup.
I once had a contract with a very large TV company. I was appalled at some of the other makeup artists kits. Granted they cleaned there brushes but not as frequently as they should and the makeup was filthy to look at. Would you want someone to do your face with that?
Makeup is expensive so treat it well. Clean your palettes. Knock off and clean excess fall out from your palettes. Even though the product is used it should still look clean - spotless.
If you're only doing your makeup then your cleaning frequency is entirely up to you. But if you ask me - clean your makeup.
Look after your face and look after your clients face.
Most good makeup suppliers sell or can order makeup brush cleaner.
I love you because you have so much honor. You take pride in what you do, and even further, you don't protect your knowledge or guard it with a false sense of exclusivity. You care about people, about quality, and about education. You are thorough, succinct, honest, humble, kind, informative, and well - just AWESOME. Please don't ever change. The world needs more people like you. LOVE. xoxo
Great tip. I searched for 'how to clean make-up brushes' on youtube and lots of vids popped up. Of course when I saw yours, I immediately clicked on it. Any thing that I search for and I see that you made a vid on it, your vid is my FIRST and sometimes only choice to watch. I value your opinion and your expertise. Thx for being an awesome resource!
I love that the brushes dry so fast as opposed to being cleaned with soap and water. The longer your brushes are wet, the higher the chance you can breed new bacteria....not to mention that the brush can feel dry and still have water in the base of the brush(especially with blush brushes/kabuki brushes)which can cause mold or fungus growth as well as cause the crush fibers to deteriorate and shed. Very informative.
For those curious about the MSDS on Metsolve 4021 it contains acetone, octane, propan-2-ol, methylcyclohexane and heptane. The CDC - Center for Disease Control and Prevention - recommends 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. 99% is *NOT* recommended due to the fact it is not effective in germ-killing.
where to buy it from in USA?
zadidoll wow, thanks for the info!
Thanks for the tip, what’s the difference between the two then, how come the 70% is more effective at killing germs? Thanks!
I know this is quite an old video, but would you still recommend this for your brushes?
I was looking for the best way to clean my brushes for so long! Finally I found a great advice! I'm not happy with soap cleaning, and now when you confirmed that this method is not ruining the brush as you are doing this for years makes me super excited! Thank you sooooo much !!! You are awesome!!!!!!
ive been doing it for months and my brushes (both natural and synthetic) are super soft and have not shed or anything. this method is actually amazing.
In labs we use 70% alcohol, because a higher percentage will actually not kill the cells as they will survive a higher percentage due to spore formation -> cells will live.
Here is what I know: 70~75% alcohol actually does a better job at disinfecting and killing everything than 99% alcohol does. Plus, it is probably cheaper! Hope this helped!
Thank you so much for spreading the word on sanitation, Wayne! I am a makeup artist myself and I cannot tell you how many other professionals I have seen not clean their brushes between models or even worse, double dip their products without any sanitation in between. It appalls me every time since the beauty school I went to really stressed your method of sanitizing with alcohol to the point that at the end of the day the room reeked like a hospital haha.
I just did this and WOW what a difference it made! So soft and clean :)
I haven't seen anyone ask yet.. does it make a difference between real hair/synthetic brushes?
if you want it clean in hospital grade standard buy an autoclave :P that will 100% kill all microorganisms in your make up brushes. Thanks for sharing Wayne
Omg! You're so right, I have one of those sitting around from beauty school thanks for the tip!
Megan Taur too time consuming plus you cannot carry an autoclave around photoshoots
this is going to change my life lol!
i'm always so bad about cleaning my brushes b/c it takes so long for them to dry and i have limited number of brushes. I will definitely clean my brushes regularly now. Thanks so much for this :D
Wow !! I really had no idea about using alcohol. It makes perfect sense. I was just using soap and water and then they took so long to dry and I did not feel my brushes were really clean. Thanks for the common sense tip !! Going to clean my brushes right now !! No germs for me. Great video just as I expected. You're the best. Thanks so much. Have a great day. Anne
uhm excuse me, what type of alcohol is the best? methyl or isoprophyl ?
I got all of Wayne's brushes, you recommend to wash them with baby shampoo and not to use alcohol. But how do you disinfect them? Will hospital grade alcohol damage the brushes? Thanks so much!
LadySasa1000 I've just spent $250 on his face collection brushes and I too am confused. He states not to use alcohol on his brushes as it will Dry them out. I'm a makeup artist and am now wondering if I can only baby shampoo the foundation out of the brush as advised by @Wayne Goss
Arrgh. If I have to do that inbetween each client I will need x5 of his foundation brushes.
I find the alcohol brush spray cleaners the fastest way to completly clean and have the fastest drying time. Especially with some long lasting Foundations, RCMA FOUNDATION ...etc.
Am also interested to see if the foundation brushes stay white if baby shampoo is the only way I can clean. Also I can do 5 or 6 makeups in a morning....hmmm.
Maybe these brushes are not suitable for makeup artists.
Anyone have an answer to this dilemma please advise.
Otherwise they will be returned to beautylish I think.
use what he says in this vid, no damage will happen
Alcohol!! Of course! All this time I've been using soap and water and my brushes still wouldn't be dry overnight. Such simple genious. I love you.
Brilliant!!! I've been using the soap the water method since I started wearing makeup and yeah the drying time is a drag, so I will definitely be switching to this. Thanks Wayne, I had no idea about cleaning brushes this way. Once again you have schooled me on an easier, better way to do something.
can you do this with a beauty blender???
didn't you say in one of your previous videos that rubbing alcohol is the same as beauty so clean
BEST method EVER!!! I've been using basic 90% rubbing alcohol & it cleans & disinfects my brushes like nothing I've ever used!
I've been wanting to try this method for a long time. It took me a while to actually find the alcohol, but eventually did in an electronics store. It's easy and it saves time. I always dreaded the whole ritual of cleaning my brushes.
70% alcohol - 30% distilled water.
The 99.9% alcohol solution is confusing because in a science lab, 70/30 isopropyl/water is the best to lyse bacterial cells. 99.9% isn't used in the lab because all that does is dry up the cell, and then as soon as it hits enough moisture then it's back to normal.
@lunefee is correct. The CDC does recommend 70% isopropyl alochol over 95% or 99% not because it dries up the cell (this is the part that's incorrect) but because it coagulates ("become a solid") the cell wall which does not allow the alcohol to penetrate the cell wall. The best analogy I can think of is what happens to Han Solo in one of the Star Wars original movies where he's "frozen" in metal but still alive on the inside. This is what happens to a cell when 95% or 99% is used - the outside is "frozen" but the inside remains alive. 70% allow the alcohol to be penetrate the wall cell killing it.
For those that don't have access to 70% but has 95% or 99% you can dilute it with distilled water but you need to have your ratios correct because anything less than 70% is ineffective as is anything over 91%.
@@zadidoll This is such useful information! Thank you!
zadidoll thanks! Disregard my question on the previous comment, your answer makes sense. I’ll stick with 70%
Do you use ethyl or isopropyl alcohol??
I'm a fan, Wayne, from Manila. I also watch a few other female gurus but when I only have limited time, I just watch yours. Your tutorials are the best, way better than those made by famous female gurus because you waste no time and have the most practical advice. You're the first ever to advocate for proper hygiene not only in brushes but in make-up as well. More power! I have told other friends about you and they love you just as much as I do.
I clean my brushes after every use and I only use them on me but I like to start out each time with clean tools. I so agree with you about people not taking just a few seconds to wipe down their palettes, it just looks so much better besides also being sanitary. Your clean kit is the first thing I noticed in your vids!
This is so confusing. I read we are supposed to baby our brushes and mist them or give them a wipe with evoo to keep them conditioned, then some say use this commercial stuff for makeup and in 2009 Wayne said that using the mist spray of 90% alcohol was the same as using the beauty so clean stuff. Now I have some ELF brushes that are cheapies, some Mac ones I have paid a decent price for and some others in differing price ranges but no one wants to unnecessarily waste money by messing up the brushes we have. I eventually want to get Wayne's brushes and the Artis line as well. I know using Alcohol will dry out real hair brushes but do we really need to condition them or can someone give me the No BS answer to this? LOL and those ELF brushes I've heard such great things about are as tender as can be because I have washed mine several times with baby wash and shampoo and they have split up the handle. None of my others have done this so I won't be repurchasing those brushes.
Chelle Copley 1967 I saw the same video also so what's up with that
70% alcohol is better than 99% 😊
Rochelle Manuel can you please tell me how??
It has to do with cells dying. If you use a higher percentage than 70% the cell will shrink too fast and the cell will just shrivel up but not die. If you use 70% alcohol the cell will die and not shrivel. Something like that..
i've watched numerous videos lately with make-up artists showing us how to "clean our brushes", however, most of them do not do it frequent enough for my liking, and their methods aren't good enough for me. I am acne prone, have sensitive skin, and wear almost every day. Some of these artists wash, ONCE A WEEK OR EVERY TWO WEEKS :O Major yuck. Foundation brushes especially should be washed EVERY DAY! thank you so much for this video Wayne
This is one of the best tips I think I've gotten for cleaning brushes. I use a method that Michelle Phan recommended and its good but it seems to take a while for the brush to dry no matter how small or big. Thanks again.
what the hell is that reflection in the window?? it looks like a white mask
Lol I see it too
Looks like Jigsaw 😳😜😂
Just curious because I was watching your old video on disinfecting makeup which is how I clicked on this one and you mentioned that you use rubbing alcohol in that video because it was 3 pounds something for x amount of liquid to disinfect your makeup and that beauty so clean did a makeup cleaning spray that was 25 pounds and you recommended getting the alcohol because it was cheaper and you got more. I was just curious if you could clarify why you switched to beauty so clean. Is it somehow better than rubbing alcohol?
I think it's just a misunderstanding, Didn't he recommend getting alcohol because it's cheaper and you got more? I believe he switched AWAY from BSC and TO alcohol. Hope that helps :)
diane in FV NO, she's right.. That video is older, and in the newer ones he's using the Beauty so clean
Vanessa Marcos I didn't say she was wrong, I was answering her question the way it was phrased.
Hey, there, so sorry about the caps, I didn't realize... I didn't mean to yell, it just so happened that recently, I saw his old vid where he says he sprays makeup with alcohol, and he said something "like you can use beauty so clean, but alcohol is cheaper and pretty much the same".
Just trying to relay the info as I recall it
I use a PARIAN SPIRIT CANISTER pot when cleaning my brushes with alcohol. its so handy. All the makeup falls from the brush into the bottom of the jar.
So glad to hear someone else uses alcohol. When cleaning brushes everyday they take ages to dry if you wash them and can go smelly and mouldy and rot the glue. I am confident. like you, that when using alcohol, brushes are 'clean'. I do wash my big brushes with shampoo after removing makeup with a small amount of alcohol.
Your tips are simple yet very effective. Thanks. X
I admire your cleanliness!
Great!! I just cleaned my brushes with alcohol and it works. I normally clean with hair shampoo, but some of the product was still in brushes. So I clean the tips of all brushes with alcohol and now they are vary clean. Thank you!
I hardly find space in my brain to absorb all the new and pretious informations from your videos! Thank you!
I have a lot of brushes and I had no idea you could do this. I wash them but it always takes so long for them to dry. Thanks for this tip Wayne!!!
GREAT ONE FOR THE BOOK Wayne ...It makes sense your brushes need to be clean, clinically clean especially when they are used near your eyes. If you have used this method for years then you know what your are talking about. Thank you for all your tips, I Wish you had a BOOK OUT for future references ..Take care Margaret x x
One of the most useful tips ever!!! Really!
Thanks Wayne!!!
BRILLIANT!
I mean it!
I'm so impatient.
This is borderline genius!
I've been cleaning my brushes like this since watching. Well not the same alcohol percent because of super bacteria growth but! It works perfect and my makeup even looks prettier because I always get the true color! Thanks for a great tip, guess next step is investment in better brushes!
thank you for always always filling the description bar :) and thanks for great tips
I love it how simple you make it. Just some alcohol and you are good to go, with no unnecessary expensive oils from Sephora.
I have been waiting for you to make this video for sooooo long! Thanks so much. Much love to you.
You and all your advices are amazing, I´ve been sitted her for hours just viewing your tutorial, nobody does it better than you, congratulations!
Great advice! Personally I agree with you, I use to clean my brushes with a brush cleaner but FIRST of all I spray them with an anti-bacteria solution (which is mostly alcohol) that is used to disinfect thermomethres and other medical supplies in hospital, this is great! :)
@madskoala I am an RN and I agree with this. Rubbing just on alcohol is not enough. People should deep cleanse their brushes once a week. we always practice good hand washing in the hospital and the best way to be rid of germs is basically good old fashion soap and water.
i happen to stumble upon one of your videos and i was like wow.thanks for all the tips and everything else.
Fantastic tip it is so quick and easy. So happy I happened upon you, love all your videos.
I got a good tip at body shop for cleaning brushes. Buy a mini hand sanitiser and put a blob on kitchen towel then swipe brush through and rub off on another paper towel. You get lovely smelling sanitisers there too! My brushes always smell of grapefruit!
great tip I like the quicker drying factor. thank you
I would try to avoid getting the metal part in the alcohol too much because it could get inside the brush that way. If that happens, it may weaken the glue that holds the bristles in over time. If you get that part wet by accident I'm sure it's fine, just don't submerge the whole brush. :)
I LOVE that Louise Young brush!
Thank you for this. Seriously. My son wants make up but he's prone to eye infections so I've always been leery about buying him make up if we would just have to toss it out constantly. I think he'll be super excited this Christmas! Not only will he get that Tiara I promised him last year, but he'll get a make up set. And probably another marshmallow shooter...
Not available in the USA but there is a similar product with the same ingredients. It's CINEMA makeup brush cleaner made in Burbank California. WORKS this good! Nice video that explains you don't need to grind your valuable brushes in soap and water - which degrades them and can make them mildew - by the long drying time - like we all imagine you do. Be gentle. I worked as a Chanel makeup artist in 1995. Wish we had something like this.
This video is really helpful and remind all of lady to clean up a brushes because its also effect for own face ... Thank you Wayne
Thank You! I've always hate brush cleaning because of the dry time.. Amazing tip!
I just heard from my boyfriend who is an pharmacist that bacteria and definitely viruses do not die if you dip your brush in it. They have to lay in there for half an hour, for some bacteria. So you can't completely prevent infections. Also, alcohol dries out animal hairs. The synthetic hairs do good on this, but not always the ones with animal hairs.
Apart from that I think you do a lot and lot better than many other mua's on this subject and in general! I just wanted to add this information.
Hello. In our microbiology class, we always disinfected our equipment and tables using 70% alcohol. Furthermore, even hospital alcohol wipes that we use before giving injections are 70% isopropyl alcohol. Using 99.9% evaporates too quickly for it to effective kill bacteria; alcohol with water works much better. I will most certainly try this!
small point of critique: pure alcohol (+/- 95%) does not kill bacteria at all. the alcohol evaporates to quickly (that's why the brush dries in seconds). the alcohol needs time to get into the bacteria in order to destroy them. in fact pure alcohol will cause bacteria to form a sort of protein capsule which makes it even harder to kill them. if you how ever use a 70% alcohol solution, which is used in a medical environments, all the bacteria will be gone. love your videos, keep it up :)
Amazing! I would have thought 99% alcohol would dry the fibers out terribly! Hmm.....although I only use my brushes on myself, I've spent a lot of money buying the very best and want them CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!! Thanks once again for another great vid!!
Brilliant!! I have been waiting on a video like this from you, because I knew you would have a cheaper and better option than the brush-cleaners which are not really working for me...
Thanks Wayne!!
Thanks for this video, very helpful. I have a bridal party that I will b doing all of their makeup and I was trying to think of a safe way to clean the brushes without having to wait a long time in between applications.
I use a alcohol too, which i learned from the lady at the Dior counter here in Perth, Australia. best tip I ever got! I clean my brushes everytime I use them. Can't understand hownpeople let their foundation or concealer fester n their brushes. Makes me itch to even think of it!
Thanks for the tip! Sometimes in life, it's the simple tips that make a huge difference.
Very helpful and just in time. My brushes desperately need cleaning and I was hoping you'd have a video about how to, and of course you do! You are so informative, thx a ton!
Gosh, didn't know you could disinfect your actual make up (?!) Learnt something!! :) And getting me some of that good stuff tomorrow!!!! Thanks Wayne xxxx
@Neel88 There are traincases you can get that specifically keep out humidity. They're used by makeup artists when they're working outdoors to protect their stuff. My boyfriend got me one on eBay, and it works amazingly well.
one of my favorite makeup artist EVER. absolutely amazing !
First of all, this is GREAT tip. I think a lot of people are concerned whether they will ruin their expensive brushes, and you addressed that, I think, very well. The last bit with BeautySoClean is useful too! I'll look it up. Thanks, Wayne. ;)
Thanks!! that is helpful since your the first to mention this! Instead for many years I use trichloroethylene, a chemical compound used as a degreasing agent and as a solvent...Ciao
Thanks for posting! I did not know this and I am soooooooooooo happy I can do this cos shampooing and conditionisng over 40 brushes and waiting for them to dry is a pain in the arse!!!
Love your smile and love your winks, I could listen to you for hours, intelligent, warm. "nice" lol and informative. You are amazing keep on shining.
Thank you for this! I have been wondering for a long time about what is the correct way to wash brushes. I haven't bought anything past my cheap EcoTools for that reason. I should have searched your videos! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And I thought the MAC brush cleaner was good until I watched this vid and then went out and bought 96% alcohol.
Now I use less to clean more and it's cheaper and dries so quickly. Thanks for his great, practical tip for cleaning brushes! Gossmakeupartist rox!
I just commented on one of your other videos on how to clean your brushes, and now you've answered my question. If I were a smart person, I would have searched for this video BEFORE asking that question... clearly, I'm not as smart as I thought I was (she says on a public web site for all to see...no shame AT ALL). ;) Thanks!
Thank you Wayne!!! I'm going to use this method fro now on. You ROCK! Xx
I agree, clean makeup and brushes is soo important, since I startet to clean my makeupbrushes every day, my acne has reduced.
Thanks so much! This is why I never use the brushes and such at Sephoras or any other place. They are just not clean. Great reminder to all!!
Wow what a great video! Thank you for helping me save money, now i don't have to buy pricey brand name cleaner. Love that the dry time is so fast.
Thank you soo soo much. One thing I hate so much is cleaning make up brushes because they take soo long to dry (and like a day or two to dry a kabuki in winter) and soo long to clean. Will definitely go and purchase the 99% Alcohol tomorrow and clean my brushes regularly
wow, this is so much easier than soap and water!!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
@missmarsie Agree.That's what is being taught in microbiology class. Use 70% ethanol instead. Pure alcohol dehydrates the cells and encourages the formation of endospores which are hard to kill and can be activated again with water/nutritions.
Great tip! I keep alcohol in a small spray bottle in my bathroom and at my kitchen sink and I am all the time spraying it on the faucets, toilet handles, etc. But I had no idea you could "clean" your brushes with it without using soap and water (and an overnight drying time"....thanks!
i am going to try this with 91% alcohol and see how it goes down. using alcohol sounds like a very economical and effective way to clean and sanitize my brushes. i might as well give it a go. THanks!
Gosh 5 litres! You can also use it to burn down your house if you're depressed and don't want to live anymore. ;-)
I'm a very impatient person so I love the idea that my brushes can be über-clean AND dry within minutes. Will definitely try this. Thanks a lot!
I absolutely love this guy!!! Goss you rock the casbah!!
I bought MAC's brush cleaner just to have something to quickly clean them, but I don't like the smell it leaves behind! I think I will try something else like this for instant cleans also I bought the brush conditioner from Beauty So Clean at IMATS but haven't tried it yet. Before all this I used dish soap and water and let them dry overnight. Love that! Thanks!!!
Now I know what to purchase the next time I go to Target. Love these great tips!!!
Thanks for this tip. Lately I've begun to really understand that investing in better brushes is worth it. I can get myself ready faster and I notice a difference in how my eye makeup looks since I got a few better brushes. Wish I understood that sooner but never too late. And since I'm spending more on brushes I've been wondering what the best way to clean AND sanitize them without damaging. I trust your opinion above just about everyone else on YT so I'm going to try this on my brushes :o)
Love your videos Wayne, and they're always so helpful! I have a question - can alcohol be used on both natural hair bristle brushes as well as synthetic ones? Just want to make sure it's okay for both, before I risk ruining any of my brushes. Thanks so much! xx
Im fanatical about clean brushes and always clean my palletes but I am defo gonna incest in the beautysoclean spray for my products, you can never be too careful!
OMG just tried this and it works great. Thanks for the tip!
I use dish washing soap and olive oil mixed together. It disenfrcts and keeps the bristles soft even if the drying time is longer.
For Brits, I use surgical spirit (get it from boots/superdrug) which is 90% alcohol and works brilliantly. If you splash it around, the room may smell ucky for a few minutes, but it soon goes.
You also don't have to buy 5 litres of the stuff, which is what put me off. No way I could store a 5 litre bottle in University accomodation! I decant the spirit into a spray bottle (again from Boots) spray it on a bit of cotton/toilet paper/kitchen towel, wipe the brush over it and it's done. Perfect.
Wow, that impressed me.
I always hate if I washed my favourite brushes and then they're not dry, when I need them next morning.
Maybe I'm going to try that.
@cherilyndria even if the brush is submerged into the alcohol, most bacteria encapsulate almost immediately. the alcohol will react with the flexible polypeptides on the surface of the bacteria causing them to harden and form a sort of almost impenetrable crust. mind you some bacteria can still be active and are still able to procreate in this form. also the water in the solution is needed for the bacteria's cell wall to be disintegrated
Great tips thank you for this. I am rathernew as a makeup artist and this is extremly helpful.
