I don’t know about you, but but I hate cleaning my makeup brushes. My makeup brushes are very well used & I hate taking the time out of my day to clean them. Call my lazy, but it’s just one of those chores that I knowI have to do, but it’s never number one on my list. So what did I do? I made a DIY that would make my life easier & my makeup brushes cleaner. Here is some DIY makeup brush cleaner spray that will help keep my brushes fresh & clean during the in- between time before deep cleanings & since I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you guys as well!
DIY makeup brush cleaner spray:
-Witch hazel – I used two different kinds one from Target & one from Thayers. Thayers brand has always been my favorite witch hazel and I use it as a face toner every day so I knew it would be great in my DIY makeup brush cleaner. I mixed it in with the regular witch hazel just so I wouldn’t waste my favorite witch hazel all on this makeup brush cleaner. I filled my spray bottle with the combination of the two & left some room for the next ingredient.
– Baby mild castile soap – I purchased mine at Target & I added a few drops to the rest of the witch hazel mixture in the spray bottle & mixed the two together. I used the mild baby soap because my skin can be sensitive & I knew it wouldn’t cause my skin to breakout. You can also use a different kind of soap as well, but be sure to pick one that works well for your skin.
After you mix the witch hazel & your sensitive soap in your spray bottle, mix together & spray your brushes with them. Rub the brushes with a paper towel or a cloth until they are clean. The brushes, mine are from Target, should dry really quickly unlike when you wash them with soap and water. Be sure to still wash your brushes periodically with soap and water in between using this spray to ensure your brushes get deep cleaned.
Seriously this stuff has saved me so much time & I notice that when I clean my makeup brushes more often my skin breaks out less. You can create so many variations for this recipe & I would love to hear what you make or if you have a DIY makeup brush cleaner spray!

![*scroll for more spooky surprises* Halloween decor, but make it all antique finds 👏🏼🕯️🧹 Honestly, I love sharing new cozy sources, but I do pray that my legacy here is that I shared more antique finds than new, more thrift tips than new find tips, & more how to reuse items than buy latest trends. These dolls spoke to me this weekend. I’ve already had a few in my Halloween boxes, but this time I truly studied how they were made, their unique faces on every one, & how differently each was manufactured by the country of origin & date. I love the art of them & I don’t think they will just be in our Halloween decor, but also in our everyday decor displayed in a different way. But for now, here is some neutral Halloween decor inspiration & some inspiration for your next antiquing adventure [see my last reel for more antique fall collections to hopefully inspire you!] what do you think of this found neutral Halloween mood board? 🕯️🤍🧹🐑](https://www.lizmarieblog.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)
I was just thinking this morning that I need to clean my brushes. Thanks, Liz! Have a beautiful day!

So glad you liked the post! You are so very welcome.. have fun cleaning those brushes 😉 xx
This is great to know – thanks for sharing. I love castile soap and have used it for sometime cleaning (household). There are so many different kinds and it’s a great cleaner. I definitely will make this.
I don’t wear make up that often so tend to forget to wash my blush brush. Have been better about it lately. I’m no good at all putting make up on. That gene seems to have passed me by. My 14 yr. old grand daughter knows way better than I do how to put it on. Not even sure what color of blush or make up to buy. Now that I’m home so much I only put some blush on, eye liner, eye brows and some lip stick when we go to Grand Junction.
Your recipe for brush cleaners sounds like a great one so will have to try it. I too have very sensitive skin, the least little thing and I get a blemish or two, yeah at 74 for crying out loud. Glad you shared this very helpful post .
I am like you and don’t do this as often as I should. When I do remember I use baby shampoo. I figure the bristles are natural, like hair, and the shampoo is gentle on them. I get them wet, pour some shampoo in one palm and swish them around, then work the shampoo into the bristles. Sometimes they need a repeat. Then I spin them between my palms to get out the excess water and let them dry. It doesn’t take more than 5 minutes to do all my brushes.
Right here is the right blog for anybody who wants to understand this topic.
You realize a whole lot its almost tough to argue with you (not that I really will need to…HaHa).
You definitely put a fresh spin on a subject which has been written about for ages.
Wonderful stuff, just great!
I think that this method of cleaning make up brushes is amazing! It is easy and natural! After all we use these brushes to apply make up on our face and it is important to clean them with natural products. Thanks a lot! Brunswick Park Carpet Cleaners Ltd.

Hi! Im panning on making my own brush cleaner as well: this is my recipe(I haven’t tried it yet): unscented witch hazel and vegetable glycerine(I have a ton laying around). Do you think this would work well? I usually use dish soap/baby soap, olive oil, and alcohol but the alcohol is too strong of a smell for me. Do you think that the witch hazel’s antibacterial properties will work as well as the soap and alcohol do or should I also add dish soap/baby soap? I’ve never used it before.
