Choosing an electric makeup brush cleaner
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends washing makeup brushes every 7 to 10 days to remove product residue, dirt and oil and reduce bacteria that can linger in brushes. Choose a routine you can keep up with, whether you wash by hand or use a bowl cleaner.
When comparing a makeup brush cleaner machine, look at brush fit, the cleanser its instructions allow, rinsing and drying, storage and how the machine itself is cleaned. TODAY.com used ease of use, cleaning ability, storage and versatility to compare specific products. Those are useful questions for a shopper too, not a promise about every machine.
Brush shape matters during washing. A SWATCH review of another machine reported that residue remained inside a dense brush even when its outside looked clean. After washing, look between the bristles, especially on a dense foundation brush, and rinse again if you can still see product.
Lumavir's bowl machine agitates brushes in water and cleanser. Rinse brushes as the instructions describe, then lay them flat to dry. Plan for this separate drying step if you need a brush for a particular time.
Hand washing is another practical option. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends lukewarm water and gentle or clarifying shampoo. Rinse only the bristle tips, because soaking the brush head can dissolve the glue joining the head and handle. For drying, reshape the bristles and leave the brush flat with its tips over an edge.
A machine is one format among several. ELLE UK's roundup includes liquid cleansers, solid balms, sprays and brush-cleaning machines. If you prefer washing brushes individually or want a small setup, hand washing remains an option with lukewarm water and a suitable shampoo.
Check the care directions for each brush, particularly if its bristles are delicate or natural hair. The AAD says plain soap and water can dry bristles. For a machine, use a cleanser that suits your brushes and that the supplied instructions allow.
