Quick Tip: Fastest Way To Clean Makeup Brushes

[@dearxsera]

So many brushes! I'm always too lazy to clean mine, and I have about 5..

[@MHILK]

Haha me too!

[@sal1358]

me too 😹

[@onlyhollis2028]

Love your name haha @serafina

[@elydeno9056]

hahahaha

[@rogendaRookie]

.

[@laurenauburnsol]

I don't know why but I find it relaxing to watch you clean your brushes

[@helloimjakeyy]

Hahaha. Me too. I wish she filmed cleaning all her brushes!

[@MakeupByJassy]

haha I don't love it. My friend always washes my brushes when she visits lol. She loves it too. She cleans them while we chit chat haha

[@KSTRUD]

Its call ASMR look on KZbin asmr brush or something like that you should find a lot of relaxing video for you ;)

[@amyversuslife]

KSTRUD yay asmr ftw x

[@aniie92m]

Omg me too ☺️ lol

[@KimberlyCherrell]

I literally paused the video to purchase this ASAP. Washing my makeup brushes can be such a pain so thanks Nicole! Looks like this gets the brushes super clean so why not? For those who are skeptical about washing your face brushes like this you may want to start with the eye brushes and continue to 'soap & water' clean face brushes. That will still cut down a ton of time :)

[@TheSwauzz]

This is great for spot cleaning but it's not the best hygienic cleanse. NikkieTutorials did a video on this and while she recommended it for fast spot cleaning, she still also recommended a good regular soap cleaning every week or so. She also didn't dip the entire brush end into the liquid. She dipped it just enough so the liquid was pulled close to the ferrule. This keeps the glue in the ferrule from deteriorating faster. It also keeps you from wasting product as your brushes can soak up A LOT, especially the larger face ones. Saying the scent isn't very strong is kind of.. an exaggeration? It's actually quite strong and it's very noticeable after they dry. While it doesn't bother me, it will probably bother some people quite a bit.

[@glambyzarina_zav384]

I also use this method to spot clean but give them a nice bath once a month because I have so many brushes in rotation. While this can definitely clean all your eye brushses, I feel like for face and brushes you use with liquid products, you need a good lather. And as for my brushes in my mua kit, I spot clean and deep clean those brushes with a bath once I'm done with the job.

[@Juicymeu]

I guess she meant the scent isn't strong if you let them sit around before using them so the scent disappears as she does, because she thinks the scent is pretty strong if you use it directly after cleaning.

[@TheSwauzz]

Dana H Yes, the scent is very very strong right after cleaning but it's still quite strong after they've been sitting, even for a few days. It never completely goes away is what I'm trying to say.

[@Juicymeu]

TheSwauzz Okay. Well, good to know. I mean I wouldn't know, never tried this product.

[@Jessa8891]

Yes! This is exactly what I was thinking. Brush cleansers like this are only meant for quick cleaning not the only source of cleaning them. She should still be washing them for a deep clean like you said.

[@SarahVZig]

How do you wash your beauty blender nicole!

[@NicoleGuerriero]

Sarah Gutierrez with the Blender Cleaner it comes with! I have the solid cleanser also and I feel like it will last me forever! :)

[@nicolelove117]

You would microwave it to get rid of bacteria (this is kinda special for beauty blenders) and then wash it as usual

[@christinahanna5800]

I've tried the Beatty blender solid and it is amazing! But for a cheaper alternative, try the dr.bronners Magic soap bar and does the same thing! :)

[@xoxokimm36]

I just use dove sensitive bar soap and cold water and it's good as new!

[@tracystoliker8249]

I use my face wash to clean my bb cleans it so good

[@doloresvinson1646]

Just ordered this, but wanted to give you a tip on microfiber cloths works so great for me instead of paper towels. And you can just throw them in the Landry when you are finished. Love your videos .

[@diamOndzforaLi]

I was thinking the same thing... Instead of paper towels I use microfiber towels too. Too much garbage!

[@PattiQ]

Wow! That cleanser is impressive. I'm still washing them the old fashioned way, but this just looks so much more efficient!

[@crystalsawyer86]

Soap and water is all you need, and it thoroughly cleans the brushes! I use the dove baby wash for sensitive skin and it works amazing.

[@makeupbyleyla]

I need to try this brush cleaner! Thanks for sharing beautiful girl❤️

[@BeautyFoodTips]

I use this as a quick tip, a spot cleaning, when I am in a hurry. Actually I'm using my DIY rinse free brush cleanser ( you may see the tutorial on my channel ), but I'm definitely always washing them with warm water and soap every week for a thorough cleaning :)

[@lucijad8532]

Even when you are in pain,you are able to put 2 videos,like wow!! I know some huge youtubers that have 20 minutes to film a video,but nope. Love,love,love!! Xx💋

[@frickafry1]

I ordered some of that cleaner and just got it today. AMAZING!!! It took me less than ten minutes to clean and dries so fast. Thank you for the top and recommendation. I doubt I will ever clean my brushes any other way.

[@AndreaRenee00]

OH WOW!!!! I NEEDED THIS! That was so fast and not messy AT ALL! Thank you so much for this tip! As always, I look forward to watching your next video!!!! xoxo

[@RubyyLovely]

GIRRRRRRRL, I SWEAR by this brush cleaner! It's so amazing & worth every penny! ❤️

[@RikiMatsui]

Super easy, cheap, and probably the BEST cleaning method is: dish washing soap and extra virgin olive oil. Put them on a dish and swirl the brush in it. The dish washing soap will kill 99% of bacteria and olive oil will recondition the brushes that lost its natural oil from soap. And with this method, not only the brush will get clean but, honestly, gets better the more you wash them :)

[@stradivari001]

YAAAAS. Guy, this is seriously the best method. No strange chemical and natural oil. Thanks for reminding us :)

[@TheDevSea]

I did this for quite a long time, which I thought was the best method, but when I started using baby shampoo, I was in awe. My brushes are noticeably softer and they don't have that oily residue that you sometimes find when you use the oil.

[@RikiMatsui]

Baby shampoos actually don't disinfect. Which is why I use olive oil. Dishwash soap+olive oil will remove pigments, dirt, and bacteria. When I wash my brushes everyday, I usually have to put them under running water for a good couple of seconds to minutes, depending on the size of the brush, to remove residues. Just paper towel to wipe and dry the brush hairs facing down so the waters don't go into the brush, loosening the glue that's holing the hairs together.

[@lovedatolive]

Olive oil only for brushes with real hair. Otherwise it'll ruin synthetic brushes. It takes away its function.

[@TheDevSea]

***** Synthetic brushes don't dry out or harbor bacteria in the same way true hair does, and they are often made to be bacteria-resistant. Baby shampoo works well to deep clean and moisturize the bristles, and I like to spritz them with alcohol as an extra step to kill germs. You could also just use the dish soap without the olive oil.

[@paolamcordero]

This stuff is the best! It's what I keep in my kit, something I've found very useful to get the most bank for my buck is actually putting it in a spray bottle and spraying the brushes directly instead of dipping them into a dish. More sanitary and you use it sparingly since it is a little pricey. But I feel you, it's definitely the best after a day of makeup and you have to tons of brushes to clean 😜

[@brunildacruz8624]

This is the best way to clean your brushes I got cinema secrets brush cleanser after you mentioned on one of your previous video and I love it.

[@dreehehe]

Idk why but I find cleaning my makeup brushes videos or other videos like that so satisfying because it's all clean and nice

[@veess227]

I use the Mac cleanser to spot clean and it takes a while to dry so after I finish it up I need to get this cleanser- I need it in my life. To deep clean I use the sigma glove. I wonder if this is now your deep clean routine or spot clean routine?

[@zohracharaniya1264]

***** do you like the Mac cleanser? Is it worth getting?

[@MakeupByJassy]

***** Not the best. It's ok. Cinema Secrets and Clinique are the best ones I have tried so far.

[@TheDevSea]

Many people use this type of cleanser as their only form of cleaning, and it's rather misleading. The no-rinse, alcohol based cleansers should really just be used as spot cleaning. They aren't going to fully clean the brush, particularly if you're worried about disinfecting.

[@erinnay277]

I find that this brush cleanser takes the same amount to time to dry as the MAC brush cleanser, and is used the exact same way, as a spot cleanser. Brushes still need to be deep cleaned with a disinfecting soap and water and left to dry overnight, and done nightly if using them on clients.

[@veess227]

Yuriem Espinal I must have missed her saying its the only way she cleans them now! ***** Jocelyn g personally don't think the Mac cleanser is the greatest to be honest. I mean it does the job but I think you could get better for less money especially if you are on a budget - in saying that - it lasts ages. I actually did a video on how I spot clean using the mac cleanser and how I deep clean my brushes. No pressure - only mentioning it because you asked about the cleanser :) - for me personally I need water and cleanser to feel like I have thoroughly cleaned them. Anything will do, baby shampoo, olive oil, dishwashing liquid etc.

[@brittanym4539]

I feel like the nice thing to do, would be to just go ahead a split your brush collection in two, and mail me the other half. I'm just saying....

[@wannabefitmama]

Lmfao same

[@materialgrrl7]

Cosign. There's enough for the three of us. Lmao

[@TheBeautyFixation1]

This made me laugh so hard! Can I get some of those brushes too??? :)

[@MissGlam19]

I stayed with your old school way to clean brushes. I have been cleaning them like that ever since you uploaded that video of cleaning the brushes with an anti bacterial soap & olive oil. I hope it's still a good method. Love the fact it's pretty affordable as well, since I don't have many brushes and I have to clean them on a daily basis. Love your videos!💖👍

[@KimRobyn]

How do you clean your precision brushes for gel liner? I find if I swirl them on the paper they end up fraying and not being as sharp of a line. Then I end up spending 10 minutes trying to gently press the makeup off, not fun.

[@arzanblogs]

I love Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner but I use it to spot clean it though. I also don't like the strong scent but I love how it cleans my brushes so fast and dries up very quickly.

[@SuperSugarbubble]

I use wee wee pads instead of paper towels as they don't leak through. BEST thing I've ever discovered.

[@justmegan5429]

I ordered this off amazon after seeing this video and it came in the mail today. I am too excited!! I'm actually looking forward to cleaning all my brushes this weekend!

[@RachelButas]

Ugh you read my mind girl! This is on my list of to-dos for this weekend! Thanks so much for the tips! You're amazing! Love you!! xoxo

[@jodirogers888]

Thank you for this video! I just ordered the cleaner on Amazon. My brushes are way past due of being cleaned because I am used to doing it the old fashioned way with the sink and soap and I always dread doing it because of how long it takes. This appears so much easier!

[@lizseibert5255]

Great method! Any ideas for sponges??

[@Allisonf948]

I use all natural shampoo and it is amazing. Cleans them so fast and is so inexpensive. Plus, has great ingredients and leaves a fresh scent

This is such a great technique! I have a spray brush cleaner, but I never thought about pouring it into a bowl instead of spraying, thanks for the idea! ♥

[@geminigem6290]

Nicole how often do you clean your brushes? Every other day or at least once a week?

[@angelamobilemakeup]

I've been using that cleanser for about 10 years, it's the only one I'll use, it's the best!! I always get compliments on how nice my brushes smell however I too let them dry over night so there not too strong for clients.

[@oceanemaurillon4667]

I've never seen so many brushes in my entire life ! Want them all !

[@maxinegreen8130]

How long will that big bottle last ? Is there any cheaper or diy options ?

[@laurendelanty6779]

Thank you for this. I have so many brushes but normally just use soap and water but it takes soooo long!! So I'm glad to see an alternative!!

[@ldbeautie7432]

Omg your vanity gives me lifeeeee!!!! #goals

[@eveoliviaaaa]

Ahhh ikr!! :))

[@baileyvanderveen]

If you swirl the brush a smaller amount of cleanser it releases the pigments a lot faster! Another quick tip from a Pro MUA!

[@andreatorres1303]

I remember I purchased this after you mentioned it in one of your favorites videos. I love it, it works so well. I use a clean rag instead of paper towels :)

[@crystalmedina6040]

I like both talk over and talk through videos. You got my vote either way! :) Love your channel, keep doing YOU and a HUGE thanks for all your helpful tips and recommendations. You're thee BEST!

[@greycs8290]

I was so skeptical of this at first but I eventually gave in and yes, this is the best and fastest way to clan. I haven't looked back since, lol

[@liddoxmzxkaye]

Parian Spirit brush cleaner is the same. My fave with a citrus scent!

[@MsTjDetweiler]

Is it just me or does any one else find watching her videos to be very relaxing.. Almost therapeutic? Lol And I couldn't possibly imagine needing all of those brushes like 50% of them look like the exact same brush! Lol

[@marshmellowmateys93]

I was debating on buying this brush cleaner and this was so quick and to the point. Thank you!

[@janetgamez2811]

I love the polish u r wearing which one is it ?

[@jufarias6583]

Love The Way You Figure Out Things Yourself !!!

[@SincerelyChelle]

I gotta get that!! I use olive oil & dishwashing liquid & even though I don't have a lot of brushes my hands still get pretty prune-y!

[@Jennypenni8739]

How often do you wash your brushes? Do you wait till you have no more or do you wash the brushes you use the most weekly?

[@lisaadams8287]

You should wash them once a week. If you let them go, they have more time to for bacteria to grow.

[@taylorbee92]

Ughhhhh I need this cleanser now! I've also had realy good luck with bath and body works foaming hand soap. It washes my brushes really well and they are super affordable!

[@erinnay277]

Great way to deep clean!

[@AlexandraSanchez]

I love cinemas secrets brush cleanser such a life saver 👍❤️

[@jreneemixedmonsta]

I use the zote soap bar to clean my brushes & my beauty blender, works like a charm 💕

[@johannacundiff614]

Just finished washing mine! Quick question. How do you keep all your brushes from getting dusty sitting out?? I have always done this but stopped because of dust! And I am always cleaning but still dust is on stuff everyday!

[@haylierose4136]

Loved the end music, it was so cheery and it made me happy lol. Thanks for the tip Nicole!

[@anapao89]

wow! it does look like a life saver! The water and soap is great too but I think using water or soap on your brushing does damage them in time...

[@KarrenValdez]

is this safe to use on your face? cause sometimes I'll get mascara on my lids and usually use either a makeup cleanser/ light brush cleaner to get it off

[@ninaacquisto7182]

Literally just washed all my brushes then got the notification you posted this vid! Lol I bought this Cinema Secrets brush cleaner after you mentioned it in a previous video and I freaking love it! Thank you for the great recommendation!! Xoxo

[@MZGERI]

omg nicole you've read my mind. i remember you had mentioned this product in another video and i couldn't remember it at all and have been trying to remember what it was called. so thank you girl! can't wait to try :)

[@polishedbyamy]

This stuff looks ah-mazing for spot cleaning! I need to pick this up asap!

[@damarizmalo4093]

I use the Sephora brush cleaning spray for a spot cleaning and Sonia Kashuk cleaner too, is more soapy!

[@DramaticMac]

Love your channel, you give the most amazing tips xx

[@meganbridges5754]

Could you possibly make a video on how you clean your brushes like the Sigma F80??? That would be very helpful

[@adoreu7790]

That Sigma F80 is a pain to wash & rinse! The flat top kabuki from BH Cosmetics is SO much easier to clean!

[@hmsssss1]

I could sit here watching you clean your brushes forever

[@TIA1127]

You inspired me. I looked up the price on amazon and decided I was too cheap to buy so I made my own. I did a ratio of half water, quarter castille soap, and quarter alcohol. Don't know if it works like yours but I'm super happy, it works well for me. Love the video game music in this video and I Enjoy your videos.

[@joliebernal]

You can dip the brushes without doing swirls in the brush cleaner, when you do it you automatically stain the liquid and it won't have the same effectivity specially for the last brushes.

[@AlixGibbs]

I love that brush cleaner, its the best!

[@lilybeauty4761]

Such a great and effective tip! I am definitely trying this out 😊

[@deysarrdz09]

you should try that cleaning mat thingy, Idk what it's called but I saw a tutorial and it looked pretty bomb.

[@elesco4620]

Cinema secrets makeup remover is the best!! I discovered it a couple of years ago and just cannot be without it!

[@marlenetorres2333]

This cleaner looks great. Did you purchase it on amazon? And how often do you clean your brushes? Thank you so much for posting this video. Love you !

[@SamanthaH56]

Am I the only one disgusted by the fact that you're not supposed to rinse the brushes off? Don't exactly love putting chemicals all over my face

[@roniwoni97]

I agree! I feel like I don't get that satisfaction unless I rinse them properly with water

[@pnwlinloo]

Most makeup is full of chemicals! :)

[@Maddiemaddiemaddie123]

Not most All makeup is full of chemicals. EVERY single thing contains chemicals. No running away, theres just some good some bad.

[@SamanthaH56]

Lindsey B true, but most makeup doesn't have harsh solvents found in cleaners such as this one

[@SamanthaH56]

***** it's not a matter of bacteria, It's the fact that I would prefer to rinse harsh solvents off of my brushes before using them, this method would be a huge no for my sensitive skin

[@paulinagamboa4522]

I just finished washing mine too. I love this brush cleaner 😍💕

[@DinahReviews]

I find that when I use this cleaner, sometimes my brushes turn blue. Does this happen to you? If so, what do you do to get that blue stain out of the brush? I am thinking maybe I should brush it against the paper towel a little longer.

[@sleekvideo]

Cool! I've seen this product before but wasn't sure how well it worked but looks like its fast and easy to use!

[@cmcbride1216]

Thanks Nicole. That's a great tip for fast cleanup of your brushes.

[@Booders26]

I'd give anything to have even 5 of your brushes! I thought I had alot (under 30 probably) but then I see your collection & I'm like *DAMN!!!*

[@byBelle4u]

Thanks so much for this I spend up to an hour cleaning my brushes definitely picking this up!

[@kristydee6646]

It is also available to buy at sephora but only online, its only $3 difference between sephora online and amazon

[@HotLunchJen]

I know you love candles....and I do too!! what are fav scents right now and where can I get them?? I'm into vanilla scents right now and Kohl's used to have a really good scent Mediterranean Morning....cant find it anymore. I have also heard target has great scents.....just wondering....143

[@MariaFyks]

I think I might try this for spot cleaning but in my opinion brushes should also be deep cleaned under water every once and awhile. It's time consuming but I find it worth it!

[@ElinaBagumyan]

I love this cleaner and the scent is awesome!

[@KaitNichole]

I need this in my life!! I have WAY too many brushes to hand wash each one the traditional way 😁

[@lindsroy]

I will definitely have to try this. I hope you get to feeling better! Glad to see another video from you so soon. It's such a treat!!

[@fatimasolano5028]

I dont know if id use this to clean my brushes all the time or for everyday use.. But Its a great idea if youre traveling or on vacation and you only have a limited amount of brushes to take with you! Anyways just my thoughts! Hope you feel better! ❤️

[@anousshkaa]

OMG I need this! 😊

[@quianaj27]

hope you feel better Nicole and I like this idea thanks

[@SarahCarag]

I love this brush cleaner. My only complaint is that it turns my brushes blue. Have you figured out a way to fix that?

[@kissyks]

Thanks for the tip just bought mine, I just hate washing my brushes and it looks so simple with that

[@candykreator]

I just ordered it! Didn't know about this product! Thanks so much for sharing Nicole! :)

[@BeBellaCreations]

I need this in my life. Its so bad but sometimes I don't even wash my brushes because I've grown tired of the traditional soap and water. Where can I find this?

[@RayneSpade]

This is how i spot clean my brushes but usually daily brush cleaners arent the best at removing all of the makeup from face brushes, i'll definitely have to look into this product if it can pull all of the foundation out of a brush.

[@darragarcia872]

Nice vid. U have alot of brushes. I was lookin at ur vanity table. Its huge. Where did u purchase it and the mirror and lights. Thanks

[@LindseyMarie87]

Will this work on makeup sponges as well? Like the beauty blender and other brands?

[@TheresaBlueberry]

Great tips!! I always smeared the brushes to clean them like on the palm of my hand, so I will definitely try this!!! I use soap and water to clean my brushes though :)

[@TheresaBlueberry]

Hope your swelling will go down soon!

[@joyn1561]

Theresa Blueberry Omg great! I will try the oil and soap version!

[@xobeautybybetzox6731]

Theresa! You should do this video too, I don't quite get this haha :D

[@beautybykathness311]

XobeautybybetzoX YES PLS You are so nice Theresa, love you!

[@giamarie8]

Nicole Guerriero where did you get your cleaner from I have been in the market looking for a new one. Hope your face is feeling better!

[@BeautyByMeeleh]

I loveee using this solution to clean my brushes. So bomb! ♥

[@LindsayXo]

Girl, that's a lot of brushes!! So jealous!! 😍. I'm gonna have to try this! Looks so efficient! 👏👏💕

[@swtlullabyy]

I hateeee washing my brushes but it's an absolute must. I used to do this with my mac brush cleanser but now I use the sigma spa glove which makes the process so much easier. I'm like how did I ever live without this thing! LOL

[@ErikaMartinez-rc5vt]

Thank you! Can't wait to buy this product, looks super easy

[@DarkAddictionx]

Have you used the beauty blender cleanser to cleanse your brushes?

[@emilypledger5184]

I can't get this cleaner in the UK!!! Any ideas or alternatives? Love your videos Nicole :) :) xxx

[@svanegas9135]

Omg so many brushes ! I love this method I'm gonna show my sister this product because she has makeup brushes and they are pretty dirty thanks for posting Love your channel !!!😊
