I tried it with olive oil and shampoo the other day and it really works!!! I do it at home & I don't need to buy expensive makeup cleanser 

Thank you :)

dont forget to leave them to dry upside down so no water leaks into the barrel, i learned this the hard way! haha

The best way to clean your brush if you're on a budget is to mix shampoo, olive oil, and a tiny bit of anti bacterial hand soap in a bowl and use a rubber oven mitt. Dip your brush into the bowl and run it under the cool water and then swirl it over the oven mitt. And don't put too much olive oil like they did, it can harm the brush

I tried the olive oil and dish soap method, the exact brand and everything that was suggested by Michelle Phan and I must say... I HATE it! Indeed it gets the dirty stuff out but the oil would not come off! no matter how hard I tried to rinse it or wash it again with just the soap it was hard to get it out and wouldnt dry properly, gross. Olive oils or coconut oils are known to be a good makeup remover for your face, but please dont use it on your brush! 

What I DO suggest is use baby shampoo. It works beautifully and it leaves your brushes nice, clean, soft, and smelling good! Baby shampoo is very gentle and safe for your brush and in my opinion, works the best!

I used the shampoo and olive oil with a towel and a bowl of water. It really worked! I used the towel to scrub the brush(make sure it is old because a lot of old makeup will go on it) and I would get all the excess soap off with the water. I really recommend it. They also smell great.

I use the conditioner and coconut oil or olive oil treatments for all of all my beauty products and they have been working wonders for us.

mixing a sulfate free shampoo and olive oil like she showed worked wonderfully for me

[nananyaz]

Great tips! My favorite method is a mix of dawn antibacterial dishwashing liquid and a couple of drops of olive oil. Disinfects and keeps my brushes soft!

[AlejandraLisette]

I always use olive oil and baby shampoo mixture! Works amazing!

[Msalove]

Can I use a blow torch? Really wanna kill all the bacteria.

We all need a friend like this guy... so supportive 😆

Ok first of all, too much olive oil, second of all that liquid soap will dry your brush, make sure to use only a little olive oil if you don't want to dry it. And third of all never use hot water because it will loosen up the glue holding your brisals.

Absolutely amazing, I tried olive oil and shampoo, it works a treat. No more expensive products that don't work.

I clean my beauty blender with a mix of olive oil and dish soap. Looks like new after

[sashah]

OMG I just tried the olive oil and shampoo cleaner and I think it is the BEST brush cleaner I ever used. I added makeup remover to it too. Tysm!!!

[umjustjessie]

Thank you this helped a lot I'm 13 and starting to get into makeup and needed a great way to clean my brushes!

[Aroosahamid]

I mix fairy (liquid soap) with oil. That really cleans and gets rid of bacteria as well as conditions the brushes!!

[shelbyroland]

I got some pretty awesome brushes off of wish and i want to keep them in the best condition possible. The dawn dish soap works
