How to clean lip brushes?

Whether your favourite lip brush is the 316 Synthetic Lip Brush or the 318 Synthetic Retractable Lip Brush, lipsticks can be stubborn and tricky to remove from them. You may just want to quickly remove the colour so that you can use the same brush for a different lipstick, or it might be time to deep clean the brush so its good as new, here are the tips I have for getting that stubborn makeup out of your lip brush.

When you need to remove lipstick quickly from you lip brush, maybe you are applying two colours to the lip, or you have changed the shades then MAC Brush Cleanser is perfect, lay your brush into a tissue and soak the bristles of the brush in the cleanser, then squeeze out the cleaner from the brush, removing the lipstick from the brush.

This brush cleanser conditions as it cleans so will keep your lip brush in great condition also. When your brushes are in need of a deep clean, I have a couple of products that I use in my every day skincare routine that also can be used to leave your brushes spotless.

If you start by working a little bit of MAC Cleanse Off Oil into your brushes, this will break down every last bit of makeup in the brush as well as being perfect for melting away your makeup at the end of the day. This contains a blend of oils that on contact with water, rinses off cleanly and easily leaving your brushes, or your skin feeling super soft.

As a second step ‘shampoo’ your brushes using Lightful C + Coral Grass Cleanser. Once you add water to this cleanser it will transform into a dense foam that will gently yet thoroughly clean your brushes. On your skin this cleanser is balancing, brightening and refreshing! Leave your brushes to dry on their side and they will be good as new!
