Brush Cleanser Comparison

Hey guys,

So are you still looking for a good brush cleanser? I tried the MAC brush cleanser and the KIKO brush cleanser and today I want to tell you which I like better and why and what they have in common and where they are different. Let's get started ;)

 

 
So first I tell you about the cleanser from KIKO. The products come in small pump spray bottles which hold 50ml or 1.68FL.OZ. The bottle costs 5,90€. You use it by spraying the product on the bristles and wiping them on a cloth afterward. According to the company the result should be: a perfect clean and soft brush, usable right away. Cleaning brushes this way is only spot cleaning and not deep cleaning but if you use your make up regularly you spot clean your brushes rather often.

Okay that much to the general information, now to my experience. I used it according to the instructions, but I had a problem right away, I had a lot of product left in my brush after the first cleaning, so I repeated the procedure several times but I still had way to much product left in my brush. I went through the 50ml very quick. I actually made it to “clean” all my brushes only once and the bottle was empty. Another problem I had was that the brushes where not ready to be used right away, not even the next, because they were super sticky! The bristles where oily and were sticking together. I tried to wash them out with water later but that didn’t work. To be able to use them again I had to deep clean them with baby shampoo. 

The MAC brush cleanser contains 233ml for 16€, which means 50ml cost 3,50€. The bottle has a small opening so you can easily dose the amount of the cleanser. The product  is supposed to extend the life of high quality brushes. Brush Cleanser leaves your brushes smelling fresh and clean, and helps shorten their drying time. You can use the cleanser to spot clean or to deep clean. I usually use it to spot clean my brushes, for deep cleaning I use baby shampoo because that’s even cheaper and works very well. But I spot clean mine regularly so I love the MAC brush cleanser.

I have to say I don’t have any problems with this cleanser. You only need a small amount of it to clean a lot of brushes. You just put a bit on a piece of cloth and then you swirl your brush on the cloth and your brushes get cleaned ;) The brushes dry very quickly and you can use them pretty much right away. The bristles feel soft and clean and are like new again :)

A last point why I prefer the Mac cleanser is that it is a lot cheaper it’s nearly half the price of KIKO.

I hope you found this helpful and that you all had a great weekend.

Have a good start into the new week!!
