DIY Brush Cleaner for Lazy Babes (Us Included 😏)

Let’s be real, - cleaning brushes isn’t exactly the most glamorous part of being a makeup lover. But skipping it? Nah, we don’t want to invite bacteria to the party. Enter this DIY brush cleaner: perfect for those of us (yes, us too) who want squeaky-clean brushes without the hassle. Lazy queens unite! 👑

Why Alcohol-Based Cleaners Are Chef’s Kiss

It’s Fast AF: Ain’t nobody got time for scrubbing brushes mid-glam. Alcohol evaporates quicker than your coffee cools, leaving your brushes dry and ready in minues.
Germ-Free Zone: A quick spritz keeps the bacteria (and the breakouts) away. Because sharing germs is NOT the vibe.

The Makeup Artist’s Secret

Here’s a little insider scoop: makeup artists always carry alcohol-based brush cleaners. Why? Because when you’re working on back-to-back clients, you don’t have time for a full wash. The alcohol disinfects and cleans brushes in seconds, ensuring no germs are spread. Plus, the quick-dry magic means they can get right back to serving looks.

But here’s the kicker: no pro makeup artist would spend big bucks on a brand-name cleaner. Why? Because they know it’s basically water, rubbing alcohol, and a splash of perfume in a fancy bottle. So, let’s take a page out of their book and whip up our own!

Stop Paying for Perfumed Alcohol 💸

Save those coins for palettes, babe. We’ve got you covered with this super easy DIY formula that does the job just as well (and smells cuter if you add your favorite essential oil).

The Lazy Babe’s Brush Cleaner Recipe

Ingredients:

Rubbing Alcohol (70% Isopropyl Alcohol): The star of the show for killing germs.
Distilled Water: Makes it a little kinder to your brushes. Tap water will also work, but boil it first.
Optional Goodies:

Directions:

Pour 2 parts alcohol and 1 part distilled water into a spray bottle. (Bonus points if it’s cute.)
Add a drop or two of essential oil if you’re feeling fancy.
Shake it up like a polaroid picture, and voilà! You’re done.

How to Use (Because Lazy ≠ Messy 😉)

Give your brush a spritz or two.
Swipe it over a tissue or towel like the absolute pro you are.
Wait a few seconds for the alcohol to dry, and boom—ready for action. No sink required!

Pro Tips for Extra Lazy Days:

Keep this spray by your vanity for a quick fix between glam sessions.
Use it before you toss your brushes in your makeup bag to keep things clean(ish) on the go.
Still too much effort? Just promise to give your brushes a deep clean... someday. 😂
