How to Care for Makeup Brushes and Sponges

Brushes and sponges work best when cared for according to their material and manufacturer instructions. Check the packaging for any tool-specific cleaning guidance.

Follow the care instructions

Use the cleaning method and products recommended by the tool maker. Different fibers, adhesives and sponge materials may need different handling. Avoid soaking handles or using cleaners that the maker says not to use.

Clean after use as directed

Remove visible product and wash or clean the tool using the recommended method. Rinse only if the instructions call for rinsing. Shape bristles gently and avoid pulling on them.

Let tools dry fully

Place cleaned tools in a position that allows them to dry as instructed. Keep them in a clean, ventilated area and avoid storing them while damp.

Do not share personal applicators

Use your own brushes and sponges. Replace tools that are damaged, shedding heavily or difficult to clean according to the maker’s guidance.

Keep product packaging

Save instructions or product information so you can refer back to it. If cleaning guidance is not supplied, ask the manufacturer or seller before using an unfamiliar cleaning method.

Explore available tools in the shop and check each listing for its product details.
