A good makeup brush cleaner is not only easy on the wallet, it should be effective as well. Makeup brushes, like our own hair, needs to be taken care of in order to last longer.

Not only does an effective brush cleaner help in the longevity of the brush but it also makes sure that we do not irritate our skin. Many times, the cause of acne can be dirty makeup brushes so it’s best to clean your makeup brushes regularly.

Picking the Right Makeup Brush Cleaners

When it comes to makeup brush cleaners, there are a lot of options to choose from. You might be tempted to buy a professional-grade brush cleaner which will cost you about $15 to $25 and that is totally fine. However, did you know that there are cheaper options that are just as effective?

Being able to sanitize effectively is a priority to a lot of professional makeup artists because they work with many faces, sometimes, all on the same day. That being said, when it comes to personal makeup brushes more than the product that you are using, what’s important is that they are regularly cleaned.

Now there are many great, affordable options to choose from and I have listed down below some of these products.

1. DIY Brush Cleaner

You probably have not heard of this product before which is fine. This is a painter’s brush cleaning secret and it works perfectly well with makeup brushes.

The formula is non-abrasive and very gentle on the bristles. It effectively removes debris, oil, and gunk from brushes while leaving them conditioned and ready for the next use. A one-ounce tub of this is priced at $7.
