00:00Wet makeup brushes are basically a petri dish.
00:03Left them dirty for a week once, paid for it with a breakout that took forever to clear.
00:08So I went hunting for the best makeup brush cleaning tool under $7.99,
00:13and honestly, the cheap ones are winning, here's what I'd actually buy.
00:17First up, the silicone makeup brush cleaner folding bowl at $4.37,
00:22with 4,838 sold and a 4.8 rating.
00:26The folding part is the win, it collapses flat, so it slides into a drawer or a makeup bag without
00:31eating space. Inside you get two textures, little bumps for scrubbing, ridges for squeezing soap
00:37through the bristles. For bucks, and it does the whole job. Next, the quick clean makeup brush
00:44cleaner at $4.20, 4,771 sold, 4.9 rating, and the cheapest one here. Non-slip bowl, so it
00:53stays put
00:53while you're scrubbing instead of skating around the sink. Premium silicone, deep clean on foundation
00:59and cream brushes. If you just want one thing and want to spend the least, this is it.
01:05Then there's the soft silicone folding brush bowl at $4.42, with 4,408 sold and a 4.9 rating.
01:13This one's the gentle option, softer silicone, so it scrubs out product without grinding down
01:18expensive bristles. Same folding design, works for powder puffs and eyeshadow brushes too.
01:2522 cents more than the last one, and worth it if your brushes cost real money.
01:30Fourth, the silicone cleaning bowl with drying shelf at $7.73, 3,894 sold, 4.9 rating.
01:39This is the only one that solves the second half of the problem, where do wet brushes go?
01:44Built-in drying shelf holds them at an angle so water drips off, plus storage for puffs and beauty
01:49eggs. It's the most expensive here, and it's the one that replaces two separate things.
01:56Last, the makeup brush cleaner sponges with portable case at $5.43, 3,041 sold, 4.6 rating.
02:04This is the travel one. Color removal sponges, so you can wipe eyeshadow off a brush and switch
02:10colors mid-look. Everything lives in a portable case, so nothing leaks in your bag.
02:16Lowest rating of the five, still solid, and it's the only one made for on-the-go.
02:21All five are linked in the description, prices are current as of filming.
02:26Grab the one that fits your routine and stop washing your brushes in your hand.
