Works for makeup brushes? Safe?

I use this for makeup brushes and I love it. Works very fast. Also great for cleaning gel liners and cream shadows.

The bristles are liner safe. I have used it on a vinyl liner with no problems.

I'm not quite sure if this certain brush is recommended for that but Ive heard that the ecotools domed bronzer brush is great for mineral powder. It's around the same cost so I hope that helps (:

I have had no problems with these lint brushes. Works well on furniture and on clothes. Just have to remember to turn the head around when changing hands or all if the lint will end up back on the thing your trying to remove the lint from.

That's a good question, I've never had a reason to try that before. My best guess would be any generic paint thinner. With any other paint that I typically use on models (which is what I got these pens for) I use paint thinner to clean the brushes and to clean up areas of excess paint. Since these pens are made of roughly the same kind of oil that the regular paints are I would assume that paint thinner would work just as good with them. Hope this helps and I definitely hope it works!

I love the one that's like a mascara brush. The other brush is a little harder then brushes I've had in the past but it works just fine with my eyebrows. I hope that helps.

it could. its really meant for make up brushes but I believe you can yuse it for that purpose as long as it fits.

Hi, I wanted to write a answer after I'd tried the brushes. I bought em for my make up class. There is a brush for almost every need, lips, eyes and cheeks. I tried them the first day and they are disappointing. They are not that full and they shed badly. Especially the bigger brushes, for powder and blush. One brush was missing. Smaller brushes are better though. For the price quantity is good, but quality is not. I hope it helps.

sorry to say I don't use them for makeup. I use them to clean electrical contact surfaces. I spray the ends with contact cleaner, then apply. ideally for me; I wish they were much thinner. I can see there isn't much choice on the market. but there's only one way to find out. good luck.

Mary, No, I never had a problem with brushes at all. Works great and am very satisfied. Cleans better than expected.

I would! In the past, other brushes have caused me to breakout and ended up being a waste of money. Then I found these! The price was right and the quality is great! No breakouts, brush feels great, and almost 8 months later they are still holding up great :) I use my brushes for powder foundations, bronzers and eye shadows, I would not recommend for gel liners, cream based eyeshadows or liquid foundation. Hope this helps!

Yes, I've used my brushes for mineral makeup and blush application. Works well with all types of liquid foundation and powder's as well.

I clean all my "good" brushes the same way. Using tepid water, I swirl it in a mix of liquid dish soap, like Dawn and water. Not a LOT of soap, just enough to make it really sudsy. If the dried makeup doesn't come out, go ahead and rub some concentrated Dawn right on the bristles. It doesn't hurt the brush at all. Rinse it really well and lay flat to dry. It fluffs right up again and doesn't lose any hair from being washed. If you use hot water, you could compromise the glue, so keep it warm and don't baby it! You can use shampoo too, but dish soap works faster and better. Good luck. I love the brush and hope you do too. I clean all my "good" brushes the same way.

It worked great for awhile, but then the airbrush just started sputtering the makeup . That happened to a friend also...so I have gone back to regular makeup. Was an expensive purchase considering it did not work before having problems. My skin is not oily so can't answer that part of your question.

Hi, I only used it for eyelash extensions so can't really answer your question. But I do think you can practice makeup fairly well. I'm not sure about cleaning though
