How to Clean Makeup Brushes

Want to skip the DIY prep work?

You can clean this in minutes without any hassle using Gharista's Universal Cleaner. No mixing solutions, no multiple products — just spray and wipe. Plant-based, safe for your family, and works on almost every surface.

If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean makeup brushes effectively at home.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Wet Bristles

Run bristles under lukewarm water, pointing down. Never wet the ferrule.

2

Apply Cleanser

Put drop of gentle shampoo or brush cleanser in your palm. Olive oil works too.

3

Swirl and Work

Swirl brush in your palm gently. Work cleanser through all bristles.

4

Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse under running water until water runs clear. Keep ferrule dry.

5

Squeeze Excess

Gently squeeze bristles with clean towel to remove water.

6

Reshape and Dry

Reshape bristles and lay flat on towel edge to dry. Don't dry upright.

Pro Tips

  • Clean brushes used with liquids weekly, powder brushes monthly
  • Never soak brushes - water loosens glue
  • Spot clean daily with brush spray for quick maintenance
