One shopper said the device is 'so satisfying'
Washing your makeup brushes is a necessity but it can feel like a real chore, however Amazon shoppers think they've found a 'genuis' solution. The STYLPRO Electric Makeup Brush Cleaner and Dryer costs just £24 but according to customers it's 'very easy to use.'
The brush cleaner not only cleans and dries makeup brushes in 30 seconds, but it also has eight silicone collars designed to fit most brushes without damage. You can simply dunk your makeup brushes in liquid soap for water-soluble makeup, or the specially designed makeup brush cleanser (two are included with the set), and turn on the cleaner for ten seconds.
Afterwards, you can simply spin the brushes in the air to dry them and you're good to go. One happy shopper who titled their review 'excellent' said: "Bought this single brush cleaner after wanting but not finding a multiple brush cleaning device.
"I've really enjoyed using it. It's very efficient. The brushes are extremely clean and nearly dry, and it's very easy to use.
"A very satisfying device for brushes of all sizes. Four brushes done with one sachet of conditioner. Highly recommend! I love that Tom Pellereau designed these too."
The makeup brush cleaner was invented by Tom Pellereau, who was Lord Sugar's first business partner after winning The Apprentice. The handy device has gained over 4,000 reviews with 73% of them giving the product the full five star rating.
Other products available to help you clean your makeup brushes include Boots' £8 Brush Cleaning Hanging Basket, which you can use to manually clean your brushes and then hang them upside down to dry. For £5.99, shoppers can get the Brushworks Silicone Makeup Brush Cleaning Bowl at LOOK FANTASTIC, which features a textured surface to help remove stubborn makeup.
If you're in the market for a new makeup brush cleanser, then look no further than the Spectrum Collections KJH Spotless Brush Soap for £19.99. Created with makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes, this brush soap helps to clean your makeup brushes. One customer said: "Works so well. So quick and easy too!"
If you're thinking of purchasing the handy STYLPRO Makeup Brush Cleaner and Dryer then one reviewer noted that whilst the tool worked, it was a little fiddly. They said: "This tool does a good job of cleaning brushes but still leaves some makeup, particularly lower down the bristles.
"The actual cleaning part is very quick and easy, but it's still a bit of a faff to empty and rinse the bowl (you have to dismantle to do this) for each brush, as well as mess around with the different size brush holders. As other reviews have said, it doesn't work particularly well with double-ended brushes.
"A good product but still time-consuming and a bit fiddly." Others really enjoyed using the product, with one writing: "This product is amazing! It cleans dirty brushes in seconds, and the best thing is that they are dry in no time at all."
Another said: "This is the best purchase I have made in ages, it works amazingly at cleaning my makeup brushes. I wish I could give it six stars."
One reviewer, who left a five star rating, wrote as part of their review: "With this brush cleaner, they are ready to go in a few seconds thanks to its dryer function, so no worries if you only have a handful of brushes like me and don't have spares when it's wash day. I'll say it works well with the detergent.
"I'll buy the bottle as the samples included are already gone! It also comes in a nice packaging, which is always a plus for me."
