Cleaning Makeup Brushes

I’m not gonna lie, I use whatever is at hand. Shampoo? Sure. Dishwashing liquid. Yeah, why not, removes oily residues easily. Face cleanser if they’re foaming ones, I really won’t buy brush cleanser separately.
I rinse everything out with a lot of water anyway, so to me it doesn’t matter what I remove foundation and powder with.
My brushes don’t seem to care either, they don’t shed or dry out, they just look clean.

I used to use the Bossy/Bon Bon Cosmetics brush cleaning pad and brush cleanser and they did a great job. But then I ran out of the Bon Bon brush cleanser. So I'm currently rotating between the RT brush cleaner and Dr. Bronner's liquid soap. I also have an exact dupe for the Sigma Spa Express Cleaning Glove that my friend bought for me as a gift last year for cheap off Aliexpress and that works even better.
I should mention that for my foundation and concealer brushes, I use dishsoap and vinegar since when they're sitting there for a week caked in dried foundation and concealer my brush cleanser is going to have to many washes to get the old makeup out of the bristles and but dishsoap and vinegar diluted only takes a few. And for my Beauty Blender I use the BB solid or the liquid Blender Cleanser since that's way more efficent at getting foundation out especially long wear foundation. I would like to try the BB Insta Clean and see if that helps me get it stain free faster.
And for cleaning my Wayne Goss brushes because they're actually not meant to be washed more than once a month. I use my manicare makeup remover towel. I also use it to spot clean my makeup brushes that I just use with my powder products, minus the eye brow brushes because those get oily from my brows and so I use a clean one every time.
I use the Bossy cleaning pad and shampoo which I’m just about to run out of. I’ve used the Mac brush shampoo before (pricey for what it is) and gel face cleansers that my skin doesn’t like. I’ll probably go with baby shampoo next or try one from Mecca (hello, loop points! Lol). I don’t use many brushes and I’m really slack at cleaning them so I use the Mecca Max cleaning spray in between. The only brush I’m currently using is a powder brush for my Hourglass Ambient powder as I’ve cut back all my makeup in this heat.
This might be controversial but I lie to use hand soap with antibacterial in it. I figure that the main reason I’m washing them is because of the build up or bacteria from products and being on my face so it seems like a good option. You can also get nourishing ones to make sure that they don’t dry out the fibres too much
For my personal brushes, I use a silicone brush cleaning pad (no name brand) and baby shampoo. For brushes with stubborn makeup like foundation, concealer and lipstick, I use a few spritzes of micellar water on the brush and pad first (it loosens all the makeup easily) and then clean with baby shampoo. I use an antibacterial brush cleaner to clean my professional brushes.
I also use the Bossy pad/shampoo duo, but once the cleanser runs out I'll give the baby shampoo a go. Thanks for the tip ladies, I would never have thought of that.
Although I read somewhere about using shampoo to clean foundation out of my beauty blender, which I've been doing, I use the Essano shampoo so figured with it's no-added-this, and no-added-that it would be fine. Works for me!!
