My Clean Make-up Brushes

SurferWife — Sat, 14 Sep 2024 19:40:34 GMT

What else shall I do on this Saturday morning in addition to laundry? Clean my make-up brushes! From the wise words of Irene Cara..."what a feeling"!

I've started using the Beauty Blender soap solid. It does a phenomenal job on my brushes! I haven't even tried it with my sponges.

It always feel good to have newly cleaned brushes, doesn't it? Your collection loooks very similar to mine

Thanks @JudyL! My husband isn't home today, so the timing was perfect. Since I've been investing in BK Beauty brushes, I want to be better about cleaning them. I still have a few non-BK Beauty brushes, but the plan is to replace them with BK Beauty. I've got some Angie Hot & Flashy eye brushes in my cart. They are supposed to be for the "mature eye". I may get them before the weekend is over.

@scullychick

Most of them in this picture are BK Beauty, Nikki LaRose & Angie Hot & Flashy. There are a few IT brushes there, but I've been replacing most of them with BK Beauty. I have two Arbonne (not sure if that company is still around) eye shadow brushes that I have had since the early 90's & they are still going strong. I'll never get rid of those two.

What a nice collection @SurferWife. I have 2 makeup brushes & I clean them after every use with my facial cleanser. I like using a flat top brush, no sponges.

I think I said this already. I dipped mine up and down in baby shampoo and warm water,rinsed well and dry standing up. They are fine.

@SurferWife - the Angie Hot & Flashy eye brushes are great! Especially if you have mature, hooded or slightly hooded eyes. I love mine and the brush head size is perfect for my hooded lids.

I have two more BK beauty brushes to get. The Nikki concealer and the multi tasker. I have been using a spray cleaner in between washes with Dr bronners soap. I have been thinking about getting the Beekman lilac soap to clean them. I think it would be fun for the brushes to smell like lilacs.

@kitcat51

Thanks! I like to use the Philosphy make-up wipes after each use to keep them pretty clean in between uses, but try to wash them once a month. Since I don't wear make-up every day anymore, I don't feel the need to wash them weekly, especially since I give them a good wipe-down after each use.

I rarely use sponges anymore since I have a good set of brushes that out-perform sponges. I do like a flat top brush, too. I have one from IT, but need to buy a new one. I plan to buy the BK Beauty #106 brush soon.

@ccassaday - I agree with @SurferWife re the two Nikki BK brushes you want to get. They are great and highy recommend.

@ccassaday

Thanks for the head's up! I can wait until Black Friday for the brushes currently in my cart. Besides, WEN is on today, so I need to cool my jets.

Love BK Beauty brushes @SurferWife @JudyL @ccassaday I've been adding to my already big collection. I have mostly the BKB brushes with a few Angie & Nikki brushes. I'm pretty set, but will definitely check the Black Friday sales. Thx for the reminder.

@nyc1

I think I'm late to the BK Beauty brushes craze. I only heard about them this past Spring, but they've been around for 5 years. This is definitely a 'better late than never' situation for me. I absolutely love them.

@nyc1 and @SurferWife - Today was looking at the Nikki LaRose brushes that I have and there are 2 that I would still like to get. Will wait until the next sale though.

@SurferWife @I'm in your camp. My first purchase was probably about 10-11 months ago!

Great job!!

You reminded me that I need to clean mine. I have a soap that's also in a round tin for makeup brush cleaning. The lid has a textured inside for scrubbing the brushes for cleaning out the makeup.
