Brush washing is not something any sane person looks forward to, typically I do prefer to deep cleanse my make up brushes once a week but every now and then I do rely on brush spot cleansing. A quick and easy way to freshen up brushes after use, prevent bacteria from spreading and of course prevent staining or hardening of the bristles. Typically brush cleanser that aren't of the standard shampoo form are pricey i.e MAC Brush Cleanser and as I most use such technique when travelling this is less than ideal. Enter B. Makeup Brush Cleanser an effective, affordable, vegan, spray on mist that costs just £5!
If you are not familiar with on the spot brush cleansing, let me explain - essentially it is a quick way to remove the bulk of make up from brushes. Some use this method daily to refresh and prevent germs breeding, following up with a deep cleanse at the weekend when time allows; others like myself rely on the technique when away from home and brushes are at a minimum. To spot cleanse, simply mist on the brush cleanser, wipe off make up using a tissue and leave to dry naturally. Quick, easy and sanitising in one quick step. As someone with acne, cleansers such as B. Makeup Brush Cleanser are handy when on the go to help prevent the spread of bacteria, and in turn lessening the risk of new blemishes.
B. Makeup Brush Cleanser is a great little find: quick and easy to use, all the while removing even the most stubborn of foundation and deep eyeshadow shades from brush bristles, minus any splaying or damage. Cleansing ability aside what I most like about this brush cleanser is that it dries so quickly (in seconds, not minutes) and is not highly scented. As B. Makeup Brush Cleanser absorbs at lightening pace, the formula is ideal for when you want to switch eyeshadow shades when using the same brush, and in the same vain if using the same bronze to contour/highlight and set the face. B. Makeup Brush Cleanser is safe to use on all brush types (synthetic and otherwise) and does not leave behind any traces of residue.
Now you have no excuse for dirty brushes!

I usually use a mild shampoo to clean my brushes because I find they work just as well as namebrand cleansers but this sounds pretty good. :]

I love finding effective ways to clean brushes that don't cost a fortune. I swear by Simple soap. It works so well and you can pick a pack up in savers, or pound land for £1!

This is what I need! I just got the Sigma brush cleaning glove, and while I have the beauty blender cleaner block, I don't have any solutions. I love that this is a perfect on-the-go product though, as unfortunately I don't clean my foundation brushes anywhere near as much as I s

This is so cheap! I usually deep clean my brushes whenever I can be bothered/remember but this would be a real lifesaver for a quick fix.

I really need to get into the habit of cleaning my makeup brushes more and this product looks great! I've never splurged on the MAC brush cleanser, instead I'll use baby shampoo or facial wash to clean mine but haven't come across the technique of spot brush cleaning before. Definitely need to pick this up next time I'm in Superdrug :) x

Might have to try this! I'm really rubbish at cleaning my brushes, so anything that might make it easier for my lazy self to keep them clean is a good idea :D Especially if I want my skin to clear up!
ReplyDelete...What Nikki Did...
I will definitely be picking one of these up! The answer to my prayers really - I find cleansing my brushes to be the most tedious thing in the world, using this to spritz on and freshen them up will really save time until I can clean them properly!

I've been meaning to pick this up for ages after I asked for spot cleanser recommendations and somebody mentioned this one. I'm much better at remembering to clean my brushes than I used to be but I do suffer with blemishes on my chin and have noticed that once product builds up on my brushes my makeup doesn't apply as nicely, so I'd like to get into spot cleansing them regularly. Also last time I washed them I discovered that my buffing brush was full of so much gunk deep in the bristles I had no idea was there. It took so long washing it all out and I had to get right down into the brush head so I thought the bristles might start to fall out. Hopefully spot cleansing will also help prevent that happening again! x
