Hi everyone!!!
For todays video we are switching it up!
I get asked all the time how I wash my makeup brushes/ what I use to wash them.
So I took this opportunity after a long, LONG, week of doing makeup to get down to it and wash ALL of my dirty brushes to show you a step by step.
One thing I forgot to talk more in detail about is why using Dawn dish soap is gentle enough…
I’m sure this is going to be a surprise to a lot of viewers but here is the reality: you do NOT need a fancy, expensive brush cleaner to clean your brushes.
There is an argument that using dish soap is too rough on your brushes and that you need a gentle cleanser instead- I strongly disagree 🤷🏻‍♀️
Not only does specifically, Dawn get your brushes squeaky clean, it will also leave them feeling soft. not to mention it will do an amazing job of thoroughly sanitizing them.
Lastly if it’s gentle enough on your hands- it’s gentle enough for your makeup brushes.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 😆
If you liked this format,
Please let me know and I’ll plan on doing more like this!
Xoxo Nikki 💋

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!

@elizabethjohnson6773 2 года назад

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!

@Amber-79 Год назад

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.

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. 🌷❤️

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.

@metfan1211 2 года назад

I would use an oil based cleanser for those hard to clean brushes. Never thought about using olive oil! Great tip! 🤯

@biabear8730 Год назад

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 ❤

@melaniemerkosky Год назад

@Lauren-vd4qe 8 месяцев назад

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!!

@EmL-kg5gn 9 месяцев назад

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 💕

@magdapoota Год назад

Anyone else trying to figure out the brands of all of her brushes? 🤣 I'm trying to build my makeup brush collection! Love the vid!

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!

@Makeupbynikkilarose 2 года назад

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?

@marisamiraglia4561 11 месяцев назад

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. :/

@tinasung3814 2 года назад

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.

@Makeupbynikkilarose 2 года назад

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 !

@mirjamschaart 2 года назад

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

@Ly7vi 2 года назад

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

@MilkyMinded 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

@@MilkyMinded yeah! It makes sense! But it works if you wash them at night?

@MilkyMinded 2 года назад

@MilkyMinded 2 года назад

"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. :)
