Bare Minerals Quick Change Brush Cleaner

I’ve given up my hunt for a cheaper better brush cleaner and I will soon be crawling back to MAC with my tail between my legs. Why did I buy this? Even if it were great (it’s not) It’s £10 for a mere 110ml. To compare the MAC one is £8.50 for 233ml. Unimpressed.

Yes the bottle comes with a spray pump which I appreciate. In fact I may even keep it to put my MAC cleanser in. You just spray the cleanser onto a tissue and swirl your brush on it until it is clean. The first thing I notice it the smell of alcohol (not in a yummy way). The next thing I notice is that no matter how hard I try this doesn’t actually get rid of the colour on my brushes. All of my white bristled brushes end up looking grey and murky. It just doesn’t do that great a job of cleaning them.

So it’s poor value for money and doesn’t work for me. Fail.

  1. I've used this before to try and clean of various types of product and I have the same problem , brushes aren't clean and they also smell weird , though it's probably because this is made specially for the minerals and when using it to clean them off it works a treat. Recently I found baby shampoo keeps white bristles gleaming and doesn't cause the brushes to shed either. xo

  2. I tend to use baby shampoo (or those little hotel minis that I keep accumulating!) to deep clean my brushes once a week. I just use this to quickly wipe them off between uses. I think you may be right on it being formulated more for mineral makeup Ashlyn x
