Olive Oil got foundation out of my brushes. I used that, rinsed out, then used shampoo to get oil off!

I use Dr. Bronner's liquid tea tree oil soap for all of my brushes and it works like a charm, especially with stuff that typically stains. Plus it comes in a huge container and you can use it on anything!

2nd the tea tree soap... All natural, and the best cleanser I've used for deep cleaning, and I've gone through loads of methods and cleansers!
