Inspired by reddit beauty forum, user 'SuperiorPeach' shared a genius lazy hack that just might be your cuppa beauty hack.
"People are going to be horrified by this, but I put my brushes in the washing machine. I pre-soak them in a soapy solution to start the product breaking down, put them in a pillowcase, tie it shut and wash them all at once on a warm/delicate/no spin cycle. They come out spotless and I haven't had one fall apart yet."
All the Mamas will not be too happy when you use an entire spin just to wash makeup brushes. Be smart and test water with the cheaper ones first. And well, if your brushes are ruined and your fears are validated, take it as survivor of the fittest; May the strongest brush live. The good news could also be, it's time for new brushes!!
Warning: If you have pretty brushes with glass or crystals etc. you may want to avoid this.
It wouldn't be cool.
3. Solid Brush Cleaner Instead of using liquid solution, give these solid brush cleaner a chance! It can be quite fun and you can wash it in front of your TV/computer while still doing your thing.
