Cinema Secrets Original Makeup Brush Cleaner Solution - Professional Cleanser for Makeup Brushes - Quick-Drying, Rinse-Free Formula - Removes Stubborn Waterproof Make Up - Lemon

As someone who has experimented with dozens of brush cleaners over the years, I can confidently say that Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner has redefined what a brush cleaner can do. It’s more than just a tool for cleaning; it’s an essential product that has elevated my beauty routine. Whether you’re a professional makeup artist, beauty enthusiast, or someone who values hygiene and precision, this cleaner is a game-changer. Let me break down why it deserves a place in your kit.One of the standout features of Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner is its speed. Unlike many traditional brush cleaners that require long soaking and multiple rinses, Cinema Secrets takes cleaning to the next level with its quick-drying, no-rinse formula. You dip your brush in a small amount of the cleaner, wipe it on a towel or tissue, and within moments, your brush is dry and ready to use again. This time-saving feature is a godsend for anyone working with multiple clients or simply juggling a tight schedule. Not having to rinse your brushes after cleaning is a significant plus, especially when compared to water-based cleaners that can sometimes leave bristles damp or compromise the integrity of natural hair brushes. Cinema Secrets cleans, sanitizes, and preps your tools in minutes, allowing a smooth transition between colors and products without downtime.What sets Cinema Secrets apart is its speed and unmatched ability to remove stubborn makeup residue. It easily dissolves everything from heavy foundations to bright pigments and creamy concealers. Even brushes that I thought were permanently stained from bright eyeshadows looked brand new.For makeup artists, especially those who work with high-pigment, waterproof, or long-wear formulas, the efficacy of this cleaner is invaluable. It doesn’t just clean the surface; it gets deep into the bristles, ensuring your brushes are 100% product-free. Plus, its antibacterial properties give you peace of mind that your tools are sanitized and safe for clients or sensitive skin use.Over time, many brush cleaners can dry out or damage the bristles of your favorite tools. Cinema Secrets, however, has a gentle formula for synthetic and natural hair brushes. The product doesn’t strip your brushes or make them feel brittle—particularly important for those who invest in high-quality or specialty brushes. After cleaning, my brushes feel soft and conditioned and maintain their shape.The cleaner’s formula also contains a subtle vanilla scent, which is refreshing compared to other cleaners with harsh chemical smells. While fragrant, the scent doesn’t linger on your brushes, ensuring it won’t interfere with makeup application.At first glance, the price of Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner may seem a bit high compared to drugstore alternatives. However, a little goes a long way, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run. The concentrated formula means you only need a small amount to clean multiple brushes, so a bottle can last months, even with frequent use.The product is also available in various sizes, from small bottles perfect for travel or on-the-go touch-ups to large pro-sized containers perfect for makeup artists or avid beauty lovers. This versatility makes it accessible for both casual users and professionals.While I can’t sing enough praises about Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner, it’s worth noting that the product is alcohol-based. This is part of what makes it so effective at cleaning and sanitizing, but it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly if you’re someone with sensitivity to alcohol. Additionally, the rapid drying nature of the cleaner might take some getting used to if you’ve only ever used water-based solutions.Lastly, because the cleaner is efficient at removing even the most stubborn makeup, avoiding over-soaking your brushes in the product is essential. A quick dip is all you need.

Typically cleaning your make-up brushes is a pain and often they don't even come that clean. This is a game changer. Quick and efficient with a pleasant smell, they really get the brushes clean. The brushes also dry quickly, so I'm cleaning them much more often. Purchase the one that comes with a reusable can and lid, then buy refills of just the cleaning product. Recommend!

This is just as good as the original (blue) version but without the cloying vanilla fragrance. This is a more subtle lemon scent that at worst smells a bit like Lemon Pledge (which is too bad if you ask me!). This product makes it so easy to clean your makeup brushes every day and keep them sanitary. It also dries really fast due to the alcohol content. I just keep some of it in a small spray bottle, saturate each brush I used that day, and wipe off on a clean towel or tissue. I have some nice natural and artificial fiber brushes and it works well on both. I find cleaning them this way also keeps the natural hair brushes keep their shape. I know pros will say the alcohol can damage the fibers but I’ve been using this daily on some of my nice brushes for over 5 years with no issues so I think it’s a valid alternative. If you’re the type of person that likes to clean up as you go or you have a limited number of brushes, this may be the cleaner for you.

works great on cleaning brushes. Scent is O.K. Dries fairly quickly.

I will admit in the past I have been not as good as I should have been about cleaning my makeup brushes. Thoroughly cleaning them with water and cleaner takes time to do and time to dry. After finding this quick-drying spray cleaner, I can quickly and easily clean my brushes every time I use them! I give the ends a spray over the sink and use a facial tissue, cotton pad, etc. to wipe them. Then I pop them back into the brush holder. It works so well! When I do take the time for a thorough cleaning and have to let them sit and dry, they are not as dirty and that is easier to do, as well! I refill a Cinema Secrets spray bottle I already had, but any reusable makeup spray bottle should work.Only one thing - the scent of this is unpleasant to me. I normally love citrus smells, but not this one. Their vanilla scent is definitely better.

Excellent at making brushes look new! Smells great and happy that it sanitizes and cleans so quickly! No drying time!

I was rather surprised how well this cleaner works. I had been using a rubber makeup cleaning dish that has bumps on it. I would mix dawn dish detergent with olive oil to rub my brushes in. It worked well but took a lot of rinsing and washing again, then I used the contraption you can hang your brushes in. And then I had to leave them dry, usually over night. I found I didn't like cleaning my brushes all that much. This is so much easier and faster. It does absorb a lot of the cleaner if you aren't careful and I do have to repeat 2 or 3 times. depending on the brush. It does clean the brushes really well. It is pricey but I do really like the ease of cleaning my brushes. I will buy again.

It removes all the accumulated make up residues on the brushes pretty quick
