The only issue I think that I have with it is that it is just shampoo on my hand, and it looks like some of the bristles in my brushes did get a little bit knocked out of place. The EcoTools brush shampoo actually worked really, really great! All of my brushes look very nice and clean. And I guess I just massage it in like I would like a tiny human head. The instructions just say to dampen the bristles with lukewarm water, squeeze a small amount of shampoo onto the brush, and gently rub bristles between your fingers to create a light lather. I think what I'm gonna do is start off by using the brush shampoo on its own just to, like, ease myself into these other products that I haven't tried yet. My brushes look sufficiently dirty, and we're ready to start this test. So, hopefully, today we'll find something that I can definitely do more than once a year. But I think my ideal brush-cleaning situation would be something, like, very low-maintenance, fast, and easy. I am extremely lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes, which is why I almost never do it. At the end, I'll rank each method based on how well it cleaned my brushes, how long it took to clean them, and which was the least damaging. I'm gonna apply the same makeup look three times using the same brushes and then clean those brushes using each method. The methods that I'm gonna be using for cleaning my brushes are the StylPro spinning brush cleaner, the Sigma brush-cleaning mat, and a brush shampoo from EcoTools. And that is try different methods of cleaning your brushes. So, today, we're going to be doing something that I haven't done for a very long time. This is "How Much Should I Spend?" where we test a method using different products at various price points to let you know which is the best value for your money.
