How I Clean My Makeup Brushes in Just 5 Minutes (Because Adulting Is Hard)
Okay, let’s be real. We all know we should clean our makeup brushes regularly, but who has the time? Between work, life, binge-watching shows, and wondering where your last clean sock disappeared to… cleaning brushes is always on the “later” list.
But guess what? I discovered the ULTIMATE 5-minute hack and I’m here to bless your life.
Step 1: Grab What You Need All you need is: • A cup or bowl • Gentle baby shampoo or brush cleanser (don’t use dish soap unless you hate your brushes forever) • Warm water • A clean towel
Step 2: Mix & Dip Fill your bowl halfway with warm water and add a squirt of baby shampoo (or brush cleanser). Swirl it around until it’s bubbly and magical .
Step 3: Swirl Those Brushes One by one, swirl your dirty brushes in the solution for about 20–30 seconds each. You’ll see all the foundation, eyeshadow, and lipstick dissolve like magic.
Step 4: Rinse Time Rinse each brush under warm running water, making sure no suds are left behind. Pro tip: Point the bristles downward so the handle doesn’t get waterlogged.
Step 5: Dry & Chill Pat your brushes on a clean towel and lay them flat (bristles hanging off the edge of a counter work great). They’ll dry super fast because you didn’t dunk them for hours.
Done in 5 minutes. Feeling like a skincare goddess.
