What is the quickest drying brush cleanser?

[LatinaRose]

Just got my first real work as a makeup artist (on a lesbian porn, lol) and I'm wondering which brush cleanser you prefer when you need them to dry quickly to use on the next model. I plan on having two sets eventually, but that's not in the cards right now. So what do y'all think is the best brush cleanser? Should I spritz them with alcohol between girls or is brush cleanser enough?

Thanks!!

Cinema Secrets' brush cleanser is seriously the best! It dries instantly & actually cleans really well...the makeup actually beads up off the brush.

I like to use Sephora's brush cleaning wipes. They clean the brushes really well and the brushes dry very very quickly.

would the MAC brush cleaner work? isn't that the stuff they use at the makeup counter when cleaning their brushes?

i was comparing the prices to the Japonesque brand and the MAC one is actually less expensive per oz. the MAC one is also less expensive compared to the Cinema Secrets.

but i've never tried any of these yet. i tend to shp for the better price on some of this stuff (but i stick with MAC for most of my other makeup needs)

As a long time MAC user I have noticed that the MAC brush cleaner does not get my brushes completely clean (although I clean them every night). It also does not seem to be preserving my brushes very well either. I wonder if anyone else has the problem with little brush hairs constantly falling out when applying make up? So annoying!

I was recently told by a group of MAC employees (SF MAC in the Macy’s) that the MAC brush cleaner is horrible and death to your brushes. They recommended using Baby Shampoo. Anyone else use this?

I haven’t made the switch yet, I am using up my bottle of brush cleaner. I think when it runs out I am going to try the baby shampoo. I can’t imagine it not being gentle. I’m just wary that it might damage my brushes, but I can’t imagine it doing so more than the MAC brush cleaner.

MAC brush cleanser does not dry very quickly. Also, I agree with the post above me, it doesn't get my brushes completely clean either. They get them ok between people at the counter, but I do have to re-wash them every night (with green gel cleanser, cremewash, or shampoo-depending on what it handy)

i wish my brushes with baby shampoo, but when i need them to dry quickly, i use the smashbox spray brush cleanser, it dries instantly and my brushes get really clean.

whatever you do, don't use Brush Off...you might as well just dip your brushes in some low pH acid and watch them melt away.

I've been using Brush Off, which I have heard it terrible for your brushes so I have just been using it for my lip brushes, because it DOES get every bit of lipstick out. I have been hearing quite a bit about the Cinema Secrets and am going to switch to that.

I use Make Up Forever's and it's pretty quick and gets them quite clean when I'm doing multiple faces.

Any kind of baby shampoo works?? what brand do you girls use??...

 

[LatinaRose]

Thanks everyone. I've used MAC's for years and it won't work. I won't have time to completely give them a bath, so I'd like to use a spray or wipe. I will definitely look into MUFE's since I know have the discount there *does happy dance*

I will also look into Smashbox's cleanser. You guys are the best! Thanks!

I've also heard good things about the Cinema Secrets one, I think it's often used by pros.
