Project Pan: Second Product Completed: Mac Brush Cleaner

I just finished unpacking from a much needed little get-away including some wine tours. As such I started to clean my brushes and low and behold I finished my Mac Brush Cleaner. I don't understand all the ranting and raving behind this products because I found that I had to still clean my brushes afterward.
I will not be repurchasing this product as I find that baby shampoo works a ton better. I will however keep the bottle for Back 2 Mac.


What's your favourite brush cleaner?

    On my synthetic brushes I use 91% alcohol as a spot cleaner and for deep cleaning I use baby shampoo. :) Good to know that I don't have to try the MAC brush cleanser.

      I use alcohol based cleansers when I'm working on multiple clients, but hate using it because it dries the hairs out. MAC brush cleaner was definitely not worth the investment.

    I use Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile Soap. It comes in a ton of scents (I like almond) and it is concentrated so you only need a little bit. It's super inexpensive too!

      It's a great cheap alternative (that's much more effective).

      I'll check it out!

    I dont think I've ever bought a special brush cleaner, I usually use Dove hand soap because it's really gentle but being a hand soap disinfects well too. Glad to know I'm not missing out on anything with the Mac brush cleaner, so many people seem to love it! x

      I've also heard of people using dish soap mixes with olive oil but that seems expensive.

      I enjoy some of their products, just not this one.

    Think of a common name for a musical instrument played with a bow... it is part of the solution. Happy puzzling!

    baby shampoo? Hmmm interesting. I've recently started using brushes, and am confused on what's the best way to clean them. Last time, I used this random recipe of vinegar and water off Pinterest and it did a pretty good job, but i'd like to find an alternative.

      I feel like vinegar would dry out the hair. Maybe olive oil?
