I
like to tell folks what makeup brushes I'm loving. I'm a bit weird about my
brushes so if nothing else you'll find my brush use entertaining. This month's
Brush Up On It isn't about makeup brushes at all! I picked up 2 new makeup
brush cleaners! I thought I'd chat with you good folks about that this time.
I
currently use a mix of brush cleaning techniques. I have used Dawn dish soap
mixed with olive oil and I've used Dr. Bronner's Magic Lavender Soap and I also
have used my Purity facial cleanser to remove stubborn makeup (foundation &
concealer). They work fine but I'm always on the hunt for the holy grail in all
as many things that I can. I haven't found what I consider holy grail for brush
cleaner so the hunt is on!
So
many people have talked about The Masters Artist Soap. I went to 2 different
Michaels and 2 different Hobby Lobbys and couldn't find the container that
everyone loves so at the last Michaels store, I just picked up the soap. I
figure it's probably the same product, right? Right? I dunno. I'll try it and
see. I think it's close enough to get a good grasp of the product.
The
second product I picked up was the Sephora Brush It Off Cleansing Brush Wipes. I
saw a demo on YouTube (yeah, they got me) and I was intrigued. I have to admit
that I'm kinda skeptical about this product. I mean it's a wipe and I'm
supposed to clean my brushes completely with this. In my head (one of the scariest
places to be!) I see it as more of a daily brush cleaner -- you know, freshen
up your brush, spot clean it but not a deep down clean. We'll see.
I
plan on trying both of these products thoroughly and reporting back my
findings. Look at this as part one.
Part
two to follow...
