So time consuming! and I hate waiting for them to dry. no makeup for me today. I swish them around on a bar of African black soap to dissolve the makeup and them clean them with a soap/olive oil solution and then lay flat to dry.

I put baby shampoo and water in a jar. Swirl them around. Then rinse under warm water. Lay flat to dry, sometimes I dry them using my hair dryer on low them lay them out to finish drying.

Agreed! I did mine last night and they still aren't dry. I alternate between Parian spirits and olive oil shampoo, with the occasional baking soda scrub to really get the build up off.

@Ashley I keep a jar to throw my dirty brushes in. Once it's full I wash that load. I have about that many brushes also. I will not clean all of them at the same time I'd lose my mind lol.

I hate it too! I use the same brush cleaner (the masters brush cleanser &preserver) I do on my paint brushes and it makes it a lot easier for me the way its set up... but still annoying =/

not my picture, but this is what I use (in a larger size), so I can clean multiple brushes at once.

I'd be glad to wash yours. I have at least 80+ brushes. I use Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap.
