Description
Makeup products — especially concealers and foundations — typically contain hydrating components, which provide a perfect breeding ground for bacterial growth. In addition to breeding bacteria, dirty makeup brushes prevent a flawless makeup application, and can even alter a product’s color clarity.
Dirty brushes become more abrasive and dry as they become more caked with product and debris from your face. In turn, this irritates the skin.

I first found this brush cleaner at IMATS in Los Angeles and I’m so happy I took a chance on it!
Really cleans the pigment off my brushes as well as sanitizes them – the only issue I had was with my IT Cosmetics foundation brush, I’ve used a couple of different foundations with it and they all seem to leave a bit of pigment behind that this cleaner can’t seem to remove, so maybe the brush itself is overly difficult to clean. My Morphe brushes love this formula, clean up and dry quick!
