Step 1: Prep Your Brush
* Start with a clean cup of water that you’ll use to dip and soak your brush bristles.
* Make sure the water covers the bristles thoroughly, as this helps the cleanser emulsify faster.
* However, be careful not to oversoak the brush—don’t let water seep into the ferule (the metal part where the brush is attached to the handle).
* This will keep the glue from breaking down and your brush intact.
Step 2: Start Swirling
* Add a thin layer of water to the container where you’ll dip your brush.
* The water will soften the cleanser and activate it. Swirl your brush in the water and cleanser mixture.
* If it’s been a while since your last brush cleaning, you may not see lather or bubbles right away—and that’s okay!
* Continue swirling the brush and you’ll start to notice the cleanser coating the bristles, working to break down makeup, oils, and grime.
* The more you swirl, the more the product will start to lift the makeup buildup.
Step 3: Extra Exfoliation with Sugar Diamond Scrub Technology
* For a deeper cleanse, use our patent-pending “sugar diamond” scrub surface inside the lid. This feature acts like a gentle exfoliator for your brush.
* As you continue swirling, the sugar diamond will provide extra friction to break down stubborn makeup residue, ensuring every bristle is thoroughly cleaned.
* It’s a little extra tough love for your tools!
Step 4: Rinse, Repeat, and Rinse Again
* Now for the MAGIIC moment—rinse your brush!
* As the cleanser works it's magiic, you'll see the makeup melt away.
* Depending on how long it's been since your last brush cleaning, you may need to repeat the swirling and rinsing process a few times. The longer it’s been, the more buildup there might be.
* Keep swirling, rinsing, and repeating until you see those beautiful bubbles and lather forming.
* That’s your cue—your brush is free of any residue and is squeaky clean!
Step 5: The Final Check
* This step serves two purposes: ensuring your brush is completely clean AND speeding up the drying process.
* Take a white towel and gently swirl your clean brush on it. The brush should leave no residue. If you see any makeup left behind, repeat Step 1 - 5.
Once it's spotless, move on to Step 6.
Step 6: Drying Your Brushes
Proper drying is essential for keeping your brushes in pristine condition.
* To dry your brushes after cleaning, gently wick away excess moisture by giving the bristles a soft swirl on a clean, white towel. Then, lay the brushes flat to dry, ensuring the bristles are angled downward. This prevents water from seeping into the handle, which could loosen the glue over time.
* Never dry your brushes upright (ex. a cup), as this can damage the integrity of the brush and reduce its lifespan.
* Smaller brushes, like eye shadow or concealer brushes, will usually dry within 1-2 hours. Larger, denser brushes may take a bit longer—sometimes up to overnight. Patience is key, and we promise, it’s worth the wait!
