Unleash the Power of Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner
Originally designed for Hollywood makeup artists, the Cinema Secrets brush cleaner was once only accessible at professional beauty supply stores. Now, this fast-acting, no-rinse cleaning spray has become a must-have for both pros and everyday makeup users. Naturally, I wanted to test it out for myself and see if it lived up to the hype.
What's So Great About Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner Spray?
In a nutshell, this quick and effortless cleaner eliminates makeup and oil from brushes in a snap. Thanks to its no-rinse formula, it's easy to use anytime, anywhere. And as a bonus, it even leaves your brushes feeling cleaner, conditioned, and sanitized.
Veteran makeup artist Amanda Bell, the director of artistry and education at Pixi, has been using the Cinema Secrets cleaner for over a decade and considers it an essential item in her kit. She loves how swiftly it breaks down pigment, creams, and waxes, making cleanup a breeze.
Many other beauty insiders are fans too. Beauty writer Danielle Cohen swears by Cinema Secrets, keeping an extra-large jug of the spray near her vanity for years. She believes it's just as useful for home-use makeup enthusiasts who often neglect their brush cleaning routine.
My Experience with Cinema Secrets
Due to its speed and convenience, Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner is the MVP of my makeup bag. After a month of using it, I can confidently say it keeps all my brushes performing at their best. I spritz the brushes with the cleaner, gently rub them on a cloth, and viola! My brushes are left looking and feeling fresh.
The only downside? The cleaner has a slight chemical odor that lingers as the brushes dry, but it dissipates quickly, leaving only a pleasant vanilla scent behind. Overall, I'm thrilled with the convenience and affordability of this spray bottle version.
Dipping Method vs. Spray Method
On top of the spray bottle, Cinema Secrets also offers larger bottles designed for the "dipping method." This involves pouring a bit of the liquid into a small bowl or cup and dipping only the tip of the brush in the cleaner before wiping it off.
If you prefer a more natural approach, the brand also offers a solid brush soap that beauty and lifestyle journalist Vanese Maddix prefers, although she loves both options.
FAQs
The Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner contains naptha, lightalkylate, isoparafin hydrocarbon, fragrance D and C green #6, phenoxyethanol, and caprylyl glycol. The bottle claims a 24-month shelf life after opening.
Drying time depends on the saturation of the brushes and their density. For example, my small eye shadow brush dries within minutes, while my larger foundation brush takes about five minutes to dry completely.
In terms of expanding the use of Cinema Secrets products, the brand offers a solid brush soap for those preferring a more natural approach, suitable for both fashion-and-beauty and home-and-garden enthusiasts. Additionally, the home-improvement sector might find Cinema Secrets' dipping method for larger bottles beneficial when using their brushes for DIY makeup projects.
