ELF also makes a similar one in a spray but I've had a hard time finding it at Target lately. It's very watery. I just pour a little in the palm of my hand, swish the brush around and remove the excess with a tissue. It dries rapidly so I. Sure there is alcohol in it. I have a clean brush ready for next use and it only takes about 30 seconds.I have both, the cream and the powder. I like them both. My reasoning for having both is to use the cream more in the winter and the powdered in the warmer months. I find that the brush that comes with the cream one is good for getting into the inner corner of the eye. I don't wash my brushes after every use so the only thing I don't like with the cream is that the brush collects the product and it continues to build up. I just wonder about that creating an environment for bacteria to grow and then per chance get introduced into the eye with a subsequent use. I suppose using wipes after each use could help with that, but I don't think a wipe would remove everything completely.

Good to know. Thanks. An alcohol type product would be the best for quick drying. Do you find that it dries out the bristles at all?

Do you have an Ulta? They carry the creme luminizer. You could try it first. I love it. I also have the loose powder highlighter. It is nice, but the creme is better. I have demoted the powder to my shoulders.

Regarding cleaning these brushes, alcohol shouldn't hurt them at all if they're synthetic. I'm sort of lazy, so I usually just take a tissue and wipe off excess blush or whatever and then put a little rubbing alcohol on the tissue and wipe it over the bristles.
I would not use alcohol on "natural" brushes.
