rec your brush cleaner spray

[Deleted]

What spray brush cleaner do you use?

I've tried the bare minerals one and it works well, but I hate the smell. I'm currently using the paula dorf one. The smell is fine, but it doesn't work as well as the BM cleaner.

Thanks!

I like the Sonia Kashuk one from Target. Works just as well as the Clinique one I was using previously, but for half the price.

I use the japonesque one.

I buy a big bottle of it, and transfer some to a cheap spray bottle. It's awesome. The smell reminds me of oranges, but it doesn't bother me.

I use the Mac brand cleaner. I've only ever used that. To me it doesn't have smell to it.

I don't like spray brush cleaners, I feel like the brushes don't really get clean. I prefer to wash them with shampoo.

I hated the Bare Minerals spray. Super expensive, and it never seemed to get my brushes really clean. I really like the Sephora brand sprays (and they're cheap) and Sonia Kashuk's brush shampoo spray.

I just wash my brushes with shampoo.

I could be wrong, but I assume OP is looking for a brush cleaner for something quick?

I use baby shampoo to clean brushes, too, but with a brush spray, you can use the same brush to apply different colors since there is no wait time for the hair to dry. If that makes sense...

I see! Completely different reason than what I read initially. I just rub the brush around on a towel to change colors. I've never actually used an official brush cleaner. Am I doing something wrong?

I use the Sephora brand. It seems to work ok. But it was the first one I tried so I don't really know for sure. I might pick up the Sonia Kashuk to try and compare the two.

I swipe mine on a towel too!

Yep! This is exactly what I do. I use the spray daily and then clean with baby shampoo weekly.

I'll check out the Target and Sephora ones. Thanks!

There's nothing "Wrong" about it I did it for years!

It wasn't until the woman who did my wedding makeup suggest I get a spray to use before each application. The spray gets it *really* clean and it didn't dilude the colors.

I have the Sephora one. I don't feel like it got the brushes very clean and they felt weird after. Oh well I guess
