When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? Hopefully it was fairly recently because makeup brushes are the perfect place for germs and bacteria to grow, potentially causing acne breakouts, fungal infections, and even staph infections.

The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that you clean your brushes every 7 to 10 days, and while there are many methods to clean and dry your brushes, by far the easiest and most exciting way to do so is by using the stylPro Original Makeup Brush Cleaner and Dryer from Styl by Tom Pellereau.

I've tried many different makeup brush cleaners, but I always ran into some combination of the same issues when cleaning my brushes. In my opinion, two of the most annoying problems of washing makeup brushes are touching dirty water or cleansing solution with my hands and temporarily staining my white sinks when cleaning the brushes. Also, with the majority of makeup brush cleaners out there, you have to wait a day or more for your brushes to dry completely and reshape before you can use them again.

The stylPro Original Brush Cleaner solved all of those issues for me. While there are more parts needed to use this cleaning method than other makeup brush cleaners, I never have to touch the dirty water, scrub my sink after washing the brushes, or wait very long for the brushes to dry and reshape in order to use them again.

The stylPro brush-holding device acts as an extension of your hand; all you have to do is attach the handle of your makeup brush to the device using one of the eight included silicone collars (every brush I own fits in one of the collars), turn the device on so that it is spinning, and gently submerge only the makeup brush bristles in the bowl filled with the brush-cleaning solution of your choice for about 10 seconds. A bottle of cleaning solution is included with your purchase.

After 10 seconds have passed, simply lift up the brush so it's out of the water but still within the bowl and let the brush continue spinning in the air to dry and reshape. The entire process takes less than a minute, and it's cathartic to watch the clear solution change colors as your brushes are cleaned.

Styl by Tom Pellereau likens this product to an automatic "washing machine" for makeup brushes, which I couldn't agree with more. I never looked forward to cleaning my makeup brushes, but once I found this brush cleaner, I started wearing makeup more often just so I could clean and dry my brushes.
