HOW TO CLEAN MAKEUP BRUSHES & BEAUTY BLENDERS | ALI ANDREEA

[@rebeccaude4412]

I LOVE my brush guards! After I have my brushes in their guards, I pull them through so there is excess mesh sticking out past the bristles. Then I take a cup and stand the brushes with the bristles facing downwards into the cup and let them dry this way. Since the brush guard is the only thing touching the bottom of the cup, the brushes keep their shape & any water that is still in the brushes will run into the cup & NOT the Ferrule. This way I have no worries of excess water ruining the bond between the brush handle & Ferrule or the Ferrule & bristles!! 💕

Rebecca Ude amazing tip thank you

[@rebeccaude4412]

Anytime!! 💕

[@dm7232]

I recently requested a video on brush maintenance…of course you had one! I am glad I found it. Thank you.

[@justkatebake]

Love the way you are dedicated to your work, and take care of clients... I would feel safe and relaxed in your hands.

[@AliAndreea]

Hi I was just thinking about cleaning my makeup brushes today but I always had a hard time doing so because it takes me a long time cleaning them. Your videos are so inspiring and I feel good knowing I am using the right products (beauty blender soap) to clean my tools.

[@inkyinkyzen1255]

I love my make up brushes so I clean them right after use, amen. It feels so luxurious to have clean brushes every time. The same refers to my BB. I decided to make brush cleaning a part of my makeup routine, so it doesn't feel a nuisance at all. Just some cool jazz music and off we go:)

[@AliAndreea]

inky inkyzen I am exactly the same! It became something so normal. And it just so satisfying to wash them!

[@cym1582]

Literally same. Except different kind of music ❤️

[@Carmen_Tatis]

Hi!!! Thanks so much for posting this. After I watched the video, I got the black bar of soap you recommended, as well as the silicone pad. I washed my brushes and it was so freaking satisfying (especially when i cleaned my foundation brushes!)

[@carmenssita2005]

I use tea tree and coconut oils because they are both anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and help fight acne (breakouts). Love from Bucharest

[@giuliadove560]

Enjoyed watching this video, I wash my beauty blender by running it under the tap then squeeze the excess water from the blender. Meanwhile take a small piece of aliminium foil and put a couple of drops of olive oil and some washing up liquid on the foil, and mix. Take the beauty blender and rub into the mixture until all the dirt has gone and then rinse under the tap they come very clean and good as new x

[@TheMotormouthmomma]

I use zest soap the clear bar, and Zodaca Makeup Brush Color Removal/Switch Sponge before washing, and when switching to different colors while using them.

[@iampriscillamusic]

I recently discovered your channel and you are sooo beyond helpful!!! I cleaned my brushes and followed these steps and they came out so beautifully! Thank you!

[@dopattier]

I have been watching you for a while and searched your channel for this video because I knew you would have a great technique to clean your brushes. Always enjoy your videos.

[@giovannatorres3230]

I can’t like this video enough !! I need an “extra-love” button. Thank you !!

[@Hobbiemomma]

Thank you for giving that useless silicone sponge I have a purpose! Great idea. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom and helping me on my journey to rediscovering my love for the art of makeup. Thanks to you my makeup always looks fantastic and STAYS looking that way all day! So empowering, like I can conquer anything. My beauty angel. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[@AriellaAmaral]

Great video! I use the detergent + oil technique for beauty sponges as they work amazingly! I just add a bit more oil :)

[@ioanam6089]

Excellent video, thank you!! I'm using the sope sold by Nocibé, it costs 9 euros. And for squeezing the water out of the brushes, I use a small microfiber cloth, like those made for remove the makeup from your face :)!

[@cheribaird8403]

What a beautifully created video! Just like a commercial on the tele. And now I’m off to clean my brushes. You are like a best friend. 😻

[@hampuss884]

I use London Brush Company /Sian Richards soap for my most costly and natural hair brushes..and for my other ones I use a Swedish solid soap for silk fabrics, K.A. Almgrens sidentvål or a Galltvål ( bile soap ) and tea tree oil and cleanse my brushes and the handles after every use. For cream products any kind of vegetable oil ( olive, jojobaoil, coconut, rapeseed.. ) a little on a disposable cotton pad and brush excess off and prep before washing. The sigma brush mitt is great for a good cleaning...and the brush sleeves are essential for a good brushcare.

[@yasminesaih8349]

Thank you so much for this video I was going to ask you how you do it actually cause the last time I washed my brushes it took me long hours and it made me go crazy! You're such a gem Andrea! Love you so much

[@teri9636]

I am so happy you did this video!! Love LOVE the brush shields!

[@CINNY7287]

I think this is the cutest video I’ve ever watched about brush cleaning. I love how you edit this video. 💕

[@bunnyflop3864]

Thank you very much, Andrea it's a great thing that you're washing all of your brushes, and don't just throw away half of them after 1st usage. And your tips are cool! Will try it as soon as I'll have more brushes (more than one) 😂 Also I missed your smiling face during this video!

[@stutisrivastava4431]

I first break down cream or liquid with baby oil, then soak the brushes in baby shampoo for 10 mins. Finally I wash it over a bar of soap. Rinse with water. Spray alcohol. Wet it over night. Once in a month, condition the brush with hair conditioner too.

[@ivanina87]

Great video and great ideas, as usual.I clean my beauty blender every time I use it with Johnson’s baby oil and their baby shampoo.It works like magic.Everything comes out perfectly with one wash.

[@MotanulFritz2008]

At a makeup course I was taught to use regular soap, rinse and then rubbing alcohol to make sure all bacteria dies. I only use synthetic brushes so using alcohol is fine.

[@connie2264]

Never thought about using alcohol on the handles! Awesome idea! I have used Dr. Bronner's liquid soap and japonica solid goat milk cleanser. Not sure I like the fragrance of japonica much.. still deciding. The brush guards are awesome too.. have to check those out. I am trying so hard to wash them every week but it's so hard! I am up to about once every two weeks now so it is an improvement from almost never! ;)

[@juliepomorski.]

Btw, I like to use the usual white clothes washing soap, I rinse them well and I apply hair conditioner and rinse again.

[@agneszadeng]

I use a little bit of shampoo mixed with a conditioner and because I do not have a scrubbing glove i just use my hand instead.. And i blow dry them with my blow dryer and keep them inside a towel overnight.

[@MariaSCarr]

You made me just clean my brushes! 💗

[@mihaeladzuricbeauty575]

Eu folosesc solutia home made...adica detergent de vase si ulei de mazline, numai ca pun mai mult ulei si apoi apa sa diluez un pic compozitia...am pus solutia intr-un recipient cu pompa langa ghiuveta sa imi fie la indemana cand spal ceva ...functioneaza perfect.. si le las la uscat peste noapte ...pupici , super video 😘😘😘

[@cynhackettfit]

I tried this! It works incredibly well!!! Thank you!!!

[@kimhough7753]

I clean mine with regular soap but I may try adding some olive oil. Love those sleeves for the brushes! Thanks for sharing your brush cleaning routine Andreea!

[@janfarman7629]

Thank you for sharing Ali. I just totally emerse mine in water then swirl them over a bar of Johnsons baby soap, then leave them to dry overnight on a tray

[@MarissaRenee211]

I use the baby shampoo but it does not get all of the makeup out of some of my brushes.

[@mlriley51]

I use Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple cleanser, which works great for cleaning my brushes and is gentle on them as well...

[@jenniferstuart4380]

I use Dawn liquid dish soap with olive oil or MAC brush cleaner. I want to buy the brush guards. Thanks for the video!

[@dominikac2443]

Hey Andreea! Love your channel so much 💓 you are such a stunning woman. Classy and positive. Xoxo

[@christinea7092]

These are great tips for caring for your brushes. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ninaoliveira382]

Great tip for using some olive oil to clean the brushes, next time I wash my brushes I will try the oil. I presume, avocado oil would also do the job since it's a good make-up remover😉

[@taragamble9369]

Thanks so much for doing this video!!! I've been using a facial cleanser .lol. so I will definitely be buying the brush cleanser you showed. Thank you!!!

[@alotanrs]

I use baby shampoo and tea tree oil with a brush cleansing mat.

[@edytuuj]

You voice is so sweet in this video! In Poland we have a great drugstore product for cleaning brushes avaliable in Rossmanns, it calls Isana Shower Oil and its the best, cheap and cleans brushes like a magic 😍

[@NurseScience]

Great tips! I put the beauty blenders I used for the week in a lingerie bag and throw it in my washing machine with my other handwash or gentle wash items. I keep them in the bag to air dry and have a clean beauty blender each time.

[@AliAndreea]

NurseScience I've heard that before. I'm definitly trying it !

[@arynheath2381]

Thanks so much for this video!! I have been wondering if I'm doing it right. 😂 I love all your work and am always excited to watch your newest videos.

[@hn5900]

Omg... what nail polish color is that ?? It is beautiful!

[@KB-Fam]

I wash the brushes for the eye shadow after every use, powder & rouge approx. once a week. I use a special soap. I do struggle most with the beauty blender, it is so hard to get it clean.

[@phal06]

Thank you Ali Andreea for replying my request is so amazing! Love you 😍😍😍

[@tropicalladyj8033]

Love the video! Hygiene is the most important when working with clients!!

[@mickeygutierrez10]

Thank you, this was helpful :-) I usually use the baby castile soap to wash my brushes. I feel like they get really really clean. I also dry them by putting them in a cup so the brush heads can air dry properly.

[@tammym6394]

I use shampoo to clean the brushes, and a little bit of conditioner after that makes them smooth and silky.

[@maryluevano4827]

Same process but for soap I use a bar soap called Zoto I believe it’s pink I bought it at the Hispanic store by me someone told me about it and works great and fast also I do hang mine upside down thank you for sharing

[@yaruutungalag7116]

I use cleansing oil to clean my beauty sponges

[@queens6583]

I bought those brush guards a long time ago, but honestly I have too many brushes to buy guards for, plus I get lazy. But I have a sigma mat which is great and makes this tedious chore easier.

[@saskiaguy1940]

Excellent tutorial! Exceptionally well done and well explained 👌🏼

[@Lumarez]

Thanks you so much! I was looking for this! Can you do a video detailing the brush form according the use? I can’t afford the brushes you use right now and I’m new with make up, so I got some cheaper but I’m not sure which one is the best to use according to the task and sometimes you use a dark brush and I can’t say which one it is. 🤞🏽 thanks!

[@AllyKit]

I like the Sigma brush shampoo. It is fragrance free, while so many other brush cleaners and soaps are not. I’m super sensitive to fragrance so it is important that my brushes don’t smell. I’ve heard dermatologists recommend baby shampoo or whatever you use to wash your face, but they are a bit too gentle to get my brushes clean.

[@MargotteCosmo]

Thank you!! I Will clean my only two brushes😁. I hope I will get more in the near future🙏

[@jenayal5901]

Hi Andrea, you wrote back to me regarding a foundation. I was wondering if you could recommend a full coverage foundation for dry sensitive skin. I bought the Laura Mercier longwear foundation and find it just goes into all the fine lines and makes me feel even more dry, and I'm only 33 so not that old.

[@alexiakapreli3233]

Hi Andrea! I’d like to ask you where from can I order that “shape keeper” which you use after washing your brushes. I’m looking forward for your answer!!! Thank you in advance

[@pavlalhotska8328]

Thank you Andrea, I was wondering for a while already how to clean the tools 👍😆

[@samanthaduncan7671]

Love it! Great video

[@tt1t88]

Best teacher!

[@emoleary1]

Love this. Do you use a quick cleaner to clean your blending brushes when using different colors? I don't have as many blending brushes and would live some tips on using brushes with multiple colors. Do you have a product you use to clean the brush during a single makeup application? I hope that question makes sense. Love your videos so much. It's always a good mix of fabulous and everyday looks!

[@mariselaguillen6334]

Andrea thank you for the video. What about liquid foundation brushes? Do you wash after each use or do you use a couple of times before washing.

[@AliAndreea]

Marisela Guillen I never use a brush twice. I use about 12 brushes per client, so the night before I have clients I organise brushes deppending on the number of clients I have. I am so blessed to have that many brushes so I never use the same brush twice. Back when I had 5 brushes I would use that Pink cleanser feom MAC then I would spray Parian Spirit Brush Cleanser. It's the best!

[@mariselaguillen6334]

Ali Andreea thank you!

[@veruschkadaroga7823]

Great video... would love to know which store you got the guards from. Thanks.

[@ralucagrigorescu7412]

Hello Andreea, I am also preoccupied by having clean and bacteria free brushes. Can you please tell me what kind of alcohol do you use to clean the brush handle? thank you for sharing your tips and trick here.

[@cristinar988]

Great informative video, as usual 😊. I’m using the beauty blender liquid soap together with the sigma cleansing mat (does the same trick as your glove😉). From your experience which is better, the liquid or the solid soap? Super happy to hear about the brush guard, I’m definitely going to check it out!

[@AliAndreea]

Cristina R I actually don't like the liquid soap at all. I feel it doesn't cleanse as good and you also use so much product. ❤️

[@cristinar988]

Ali Andreea Indeed, I also feel I’m using a lot of product to clean the brushes. I’ll try the solid version next time. Thank you! 😘

[@lizcross4466]

I would like to know where you get the sleeves to protect the shape of your brushes. Great video.

[@AliAndreea]

Liz Cross I got them feom Beautylish.com

[@alexandratofan993]

Buna, Andreea !! Am vazut unboxingul de la comanda de la beautylish si am vazut paleta de la natasha denona ... mor dupa ele si am vazut ca ti ai luat nuanta citrus, cealalta fiind out of stock. Ai putea face te rog un demo cu ea pentru ca mi se pare cam inchisa si nu stiu cat de potrivita ar fi pentru persoanele cu tenul deschis .

[@nancyholste3589]

I have to use a eyelashes curler because my lashes grow down. When I curl them I have to use waterproof mascara to keep them up. I know waterproof mascara is very bad for your lashes. What would you recommend me to do?

[@ashleyheil5301]

I normally use baby shampoo on my brushes. Should I mix in a little olive oil the same way you do with detergent?

[@popandreea4281]

Oh, how i needed this video 😘

[@MaC-lf6qz]

What a helpful video, thank you very much 💞

[@azuraturalura81]

What a nice polish this is? Essie Ballet Slippers?

I liked the trick with several brushes at a time.

[@annemarieportnoy1445]

You did a tutorial several years ago on how to clean your make up brushes. Do you plan to make an updated video? Maybe you do things differently these days? Love your make up tutorials!

[@ffallaha]

hi I love your bracelet may i ask, where did you get it?

[@itsjennouli]

I use a spinning cleaner machine for my brushes. Do you think it's bad for their shape or after putting the guard they will go back to their original form?

[@fotojournalistannadortheol785]

Do you reuse the Brush Guards? And do your brushes dry on a table only?

[@monicasendoeu9524]

The best time, I will clean my in this weekend. Always good see best. 💜✌️

[@bettyminea]

Oh, this video is so helpful 🙌 Thank you 💖

[@Antonina_Sk]

Wonderful video 👌👏 very simple and yet interesting! And I love your voice 😍👏

[@ShafinazBee]

Do u dry them in the side or does it needs to be upside down (brush bottom, handle on top)?

[@AliAndreea]

ShafinazBee Shafinaz normally u shalll let them dry upside down, but to be honest I don't do that. I let them dry flat.

[@aangmels]

Can u make a video abt ur brushes name brand etc and must have brushes . Pls

[@alexandrabraaten4294]

Do you use the same process and cleanser for oval brushes? I find more difficult to fully clean them because they are so dense.

[@andracamp7716]

Eu folosesc un sapun scrub pe baza de ulei de masline si trebuie sa spun ca sunt foarte multumita. Folosesc acest sapun pentru pensulele mele de mai bine de 2 ani si nu mi-a distrus sau alterat in vreun fel the brushes!!! Plus ca eu cumpar acest sapun cu 3-4 euro, si ma tine 6-7 luni. 🌷😊

[@alikat8221]

This was so interesting to watch! I always wash my brushes & then hang them upside-down to dry to protect the ferrule glue, but had never considered disinfecting the handles 😱 Don’t you find rubbing alcohol strips the lacquer from your Hakuhodo brushes, Andrea? I’m hesitant to use it after spilling some on my kitchen table and removing the surface lacquer... Thanks for another fascinating video! Xxx

[@AliAndreea]

Ali V. It does! You need to do it really fast! But it's the best way to desinfect them. I am a makeup artist, so God forbid if I ever have a client complaining.

[@alikat8221]

Ali Andreea Gosh, I can only imagine!!! Luckily for me, I’m just an enthusiast with a passion for stupidly expensive brushes 😉

[@AliAndreea]
