Never thought of cleaning a handful of makeup brushes at the same time. That will save me time! Also, I thought that dawn soap will damage the brushes. Glad to know it won’t! This will save me time and money! Thanks for the tips!
Even Nicki of Real Technique says brush cleaners are a gimmick and all you need is dish soap or baby shampoo and that’s it. Should not lay them flat because the water needs to drain from the bristles (to prevent the adhesive from eroding away) but everything else is pretty much what most do.
@@Makeupbynikkilarosethank you 💞 saving us money 💲💲💲 do they have to be expensive brushes ? I'm saving up on that scabby thing all the makeup CZcamsr uses on Amazon $30 gees my elf brushes are cheep I'm poor lol
LOVE this too much! I have been using Dawn blue dish soap in a pretty pump bottle forever and wash my makeup brushes weekly exactly like this for the last 22 years!
Cleaning all makeup tools it's not an easy task, specially for a professional makeup artist like yourself and after a long day of work can be tiresome. As always, great content, very informative and beautifully delivered. Thank you Nikki, I truly enjoyed the vlog.
Thank you Nikki! I’ve always applied basically everything with my fingers-and just invested in brushes last month. I’m super grateful for this tutorial. 🌷❤️
HINT: the blue dawn 4x is ALSO a great LAUNDRY soap! I use 1.5 tablespoons (proper baking spoons) per large load. start water intake, hold the full spoon under the incoming water flow, let the suds build for 1 minute, then add clothes. been doing this for years! cost 6 cents per large load!! HUGELY cheaper than laundry soap. I make a diluted version put in squeeze bottle to do shirt collars n cuffs n spots. works great! rinses well, no skin rashes etc. GREAT STUFF!!
Great video thanks so much for sharing. I use a marseille soap bar for my brushes: I rub the brush straight on the wet bar surface and then onto my hand, it melts all make up instantly even waterproof one (I got this tip from an artist which uses it for his professional painting brushes), but before that I used dish soap too and it works great as well. I love all your content ❤
Thanks Nikki! I always use Dawn, even on the beauty blenders, I’m so happy to hear you say it’s not too harsh! I do wash them one at a time though 🤦🏼♀️ I’ll try a few at time next time!
Absolutely nothing wrong with doing one at a time! I just have such a large volume to wash from work that I have to save on time and wash a few together. Thanks for watching this!
I saw you mention this video on your latest live and I'm so glad you did! I recently invested in high(er) quality brushes for the first time and have been so scared I'm going to ruin them while cleaning. I soooo appreciate the real time tutorial here. xx
Please pleaseee more vlogs 😍 we love and appreciate your work but we would love to see more of your awesome style in videos like this!! So Damn Stunning I could watch you all day 🤍🖤
Ahhhh!! Thank you so much!!!! You are you sweet!! This was fun to film so I’ll definitely start doing some blog style videos. So happy you liked this one!!❤️❤️❤️
Great video, thank you! Just finished washing my brushes last night - Dawn is game changer, strong enough to allow you to wash multiple brushes. And the bar soap for sponges, works so well.
I have a few questions for hygienic reasons what are your thoughts on cinema secrets brush cleaner that instantly dries ? Do you only use it in certain situations or do you prefer the old school way water soap and air dry? Is it due to chemical residue and you don't want that on skin? And is it good for instant clean or is that ok for deep cleaning too?
This is so helpful! I used to only have 3 brushes for eyes, one for blush and things like that, and a beauty blender type sponge. So I only had 5 things to wash. I have a few more now but they’re getting old. I want to get 10 brushes, a few new sponges, and a few powder puffs and I want to take care of them really well!! I’m getting some elf ones and some from xo beauty, which is a small business ☺️ I’m so excited that I won’t have to wipe off my brush on a makeup wipe in between products anymore! I’m helping a friend with her wedding makeup soon so I’m really thankful for everything I’ve learnt from you 💕
Thank you so much for this video 😊. I've never used Dawn dish soap on my brushes because I thought it would damage them so I'm so happy to know that I was wrong. I also was under the impression that I had to wash my brushes one at a time to prevent damaging them. So now I'm saving time and money, love that ❤!
I’m so so glad you did this video Nikki I’ve been afraid to clean my new morphie Ariel brushes cuz they were so expensive and when I’ve cleaned other bushes in the past they seem so misshapen afterwards and I wouldn’t even attempt to clean the beauty sponges so I would just keep buying new ones lol 😆 now I know how to clean them right thank you and btw your kitchen remodel came out great that sink faucet is the bomb 🤩
I’m so happy you got the morphe brush set, are you loving it?! I know what you mean, they swam really delicate for sure!! But trust me they will be fine! Thanks for nothing the kitchen!!! It’s still not done. We have to do the backsplash still and we just got the rest of the knobs we ordered but it’s Almost there!!🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Makeupbynikkilarose yes I love the morphie brush set it’s definitely worth the money 💰 I will be cleaning them tonight for the first time 🙌🏼 thanks again for the amazing tips and tricks you rock Nikki 🤩
Wow! Such good and detailed information! I’ve recently stumbled upon your channel, and I find that you give such good info! Also, I love your voice, very relaxing 😉 Subscribed!
Very informative, I have used baby shampoo in the past but I will switch to the Dawn. I need videos like this and would love to see more of these. Also, I would love to see you makeup kit. How big is it, how do you organize it, etc. Thank you.
My artist brushes and my makeup brushes after cleaning I clothespin all of mine hanging down from twine overnight. Great makeup brushes are expensive but art brushes for canvas your back pocket screams if you ruin them too.
Love this video! So helpful! Maybe a dumb question, but how long do you think you can go without cleaning your brushes, if you only ever use them on yourself? I hate washing them hahaha
I clean them once a week, but for those brushes where i use liquid foundation or lipstick, or creamy stuff, i don’t reuse them and i clean them within 48hours.. i hate seeing them lying around unclean! 😫😂
Hi Nikki! Fellow MUA here with a question! Are these your personal sponges? If not do you think it is safe to reuse sponges on multiple clients even after cleaning them? We were taught in school that sponges can not be properly sanitized but BBs are SO expensive and i’m not a fan of wedge sponges. :/
Holly cow, i hv never seen anyone owning so many brushes!!! I am wondering how u feel if i just spray the bristles with some rubbing alcohol in between uses so i do t have to wash.
It’s a lot I know! When you do makeup for a living you end up having a ton! No i would not recommend unfortunately, it will dry out your brushes and they will eventually start to break and become brittle !
The climate must also be considered. Where I live these brushes would never be dry just overnight. Probably would take a full day and for bigger and denser brushes even two days. Loved the olive oil tip
I live in super humid south Florida, & I lay a towel down right along the edge of the counter so I can lay the brushes along the edge w/ just the actual fibers hanging off the edge (does that make sense haha?). That way, they get air circulation from the bottom as well as the top & dry faster. They are always dry the next day (except for the occasional very large & dense brushes, & thats still only sometimes!). :)
@@Ly7vi yea! I mean as long as your home is semi climate controlled, it should! I don’t know where you live- but you should give it a try (from the time I wash them to the time I check them usually about 10 hrs have passed just FYI).
Nikki this is freaky because literally an hour ago I was thinking "ooh, I should DM Nikki and ask if she can make a video about cleaning brushes..."!!!
Cleaning my beauty sponges takes foreverrrr I despise it haha. I swear it takes me like 5-10 mins per sponge just to ensure it runs completely clear and no soap is left in them!
Great tips! Thank you! One note: it is not possible to “sanitize” or even disinfect porous items like beauty blenders. Those should be treated as one time use only. - Esthetician with training on cleaning and disinfecting skin supplies.
"Sanitize" is very different than "sterilize"- as I'm sure you know- it is definitely possible to sanitize or "disinfect" a beauty sponge ...You can even spray them down or saturated them in ethyl alcohol/water mixture for a couple minutes before washing, if you so please! I mean thats (often) what keeps the doe foot applicators in lip glosses, concealers, etc. safe to use for months & months w/ zero washes. :)
Just curious why you have so many makeup brushes. Are they all for your own personal use? Do you only use the makeup brush for one application and then put it aside to clean?
Hi! I do makeup for a living which is why I have so many, after each client I set them aside to deep clean later. Non of these are my personal brushes they are all for work.
Can’t you soak the sponges or beauty blender for like 10 min do that while washing your brushes. Soak it in a teaspoon on five and a teaspoon of vinegar.
She has 1,284 brushes to clean. I’m sure she’d like to go to bed at some point. It’s not practical to shut the water off every 2 seconds. Try saving the elephants or something. 71% of the worlds surface is water. We gunna be ok.
I’m surprised you use sponges on clients and not disposable wedges. Surely that’s more hygienic on clients than beauty blenders even if you do wash them - reusable sponges just seem like tools best for personal use

love it! What about instead of using olive oil, use the face oil we use when double cleansing?
Great tips! I never would have tried Dawn dish soap- but so much cheaper than what I was using! 👍
Loved this! I could watch you wash every brush every week😂🎉🎉❤

Super helpful... do most of these things but the Olive oil tip super helpful for those things that stick extra well!🙏🌺❤

As a fellow makeup artist would you recommend using the cinema secret makeup brush cleaner?
I love your channel. I’m so glad you have a CZcams. You’re beautiful and so knowledgeable. Thanks for all the great tips. ❤️
Hello! Love the variety of content on your channel this is awesome.
If using brushes & makeup sponges just for me, is once a week enough or should they be washed more often?
