[Leeah89]

Can you do a video on how to set eyeliner so it won't smudge? It always smudges on the outside of my lower lash line and I feel like I've tried everything! Help!

[keepsakex]

what the hell do you even need that many brushes for :/

[LiciaaBett]

[awsomelily347]

So im not the only one that uses wet wipes to clean my brushes x)

[babeluver01]

[Manow1997]

ไม่ชอบพวกชอบโชว์เลย ว่ะ

[nofuturepp]

Michelle phan use dish washer and olive oil to clean brushes too, I've been using this method all the time, it's great!

[lukalupita]

Wet Ones are litteraly just a wet wipe

You don't say?

[reallyluckygirl1]

Gr8 video. Wow & I thought I had lots of brushes. Good 4 U. I have been using Dr. Bonner's Castile soap to deep clean my brushes & Mac's brush cleaner to spot clean using a paper towel. I'm gonna have to try that jar thing next. I have the dry & shape & love that as well. Thanks for the tips. So far the best video about brush cleaning I've seen so far.

[NLovesSephora4]

For my brushes I use make up remover wipes

[iiBBYLOVE]

wow.. the most brushes Ive seen in my life from just 1 person.. LOL

[TangXD]

And ThankYou! Really needed this! My brushes are pretty filthy :(

[xxMengusxx]

[saddlerowe440]

[ILuvMusicz12]

Why are there subtitles in this video ? Or is it just my computer's problem ?

[LuvinTheAznLife]

@ILuvMusicz12 You probably just have the captions on

[ILuvMusicz12]

@LuvinTheAznLife I see... Okay i feel like im so stupid right now :P

[LuvinTheAznLife]

@ILuvMusicz12 Haha, don't be. It used to happen to me all of the time. lol

[shloan]

How often do you deep clean? Do you typically get away from deep cleaning your brushes weekly due to the fact that you spot clean everyday?

[511501ct]

@frmheadtotoe how do you spot clean bigger foundation/powder brushes?

[hisblackcat]

i usually just use shampoo to clean them like a regular hair, now i know how to clean my brushes! thanks jen! :)

[missrandom1995]

[GottaLoveOwls]

A lot of my brushes are duo brushes with bristles on both sides. How would you dry those so that you wouldn't hurt the glue holding the bristles in the brushes? :)

[cai2o7in3]

@GottaLoveOwls clean one side, let dry. clean the other side.

[cookies804]

Thank youuu! very helpful! 

[redjagstang7]

[lillyzcorner]

6:28 ninjas!

[SuperKblast]

HOLLY SHIT...its like you robbed a craft store

[Quackamoley8]

Jen,

I purchased the Sigma brushes and have 2 that I use for foundation. As you mentioned elsewhere, the synthetic brushes take longer to dry. So I use one, wash it as soon as I use it (with the soap/oil that you and Michelle Phan recommend) and put it in the Brush Guard to dry. Brush Guards are now available at Walmart! I just keep a small container of dishwashing liquid, oil, and a tiny little bowl and wash all my brushes right after I use them.

[PokesYouThere]

Can you use baby oil instead?

[nynafrank]

where can i get that parian spirit?

[sportsgirl511]

@nynafrank I'm pretty sure you can get it at Ulta

[nepomucene01]

Very useful and informative video, thanks!!! Gosh you have an amazing amount of brushes, it's crazy! Must take a whole day to wash it all haha.

[MiyukiAoi]

Oh Jen, I tried baby shampoo, it worked wonderful, thanks for ur information :X:X:X:X

[raininghard]

Wohhhh............ that's such a small collection! hahaha

[AbbieJolie]

I love the Grush Guards.

[AbbieJolie]

@AbbieJolie Oh no! Brush Guards!

Ladies, I'm sure the collection grew over a period of years, as she added new brands of brushes and styles of brushes.

[XErnieX]

Are you a brush hoarder?

[Hnew2U]

OMG!! you have a lot of brushes

[xinhurt09]

thanks to this video..now I know how to clean my make up brushes using products I can find in our kitchen :)

[kimnybb]

Thanks for making subtitiles

[BubblzBeautyBuzz]

WOW, you have a lot of brushes! Thanks for the helpful video:)

[angelfairylily]

[Issemine]

How often should I clean my brushes? I've got always problems with that !!

[FashionBySai]

I use spot and deep cleaning as my techniques in cleaning my brushes :) I didn't know that I can use olive oil though :) Thanks for sharing!

[seeseac4]

thank you so much

I had a problem of the brush cleaning as well since the product to clean the brushes are unavailable here >_<

[aznillyxx]

i can see two cute little ninjas hanging of your cupboard ^_^ lol, thanks for the awesome brush cleaning vid, good timing seeing as i have just bought a brush kit from sigma and this video will make sure i will keep my brushes nice and clean :)

[siumun]

suggest you make sure the dish soap is antibacterial rather than tough on grease to ensure you get a better cleaning of your brushes... considering you won't dip your brushes in oil... tough on grease isn't as important as antibacterial

[sydkid1]

Yes, very informative - thank you! Oh, and thank you for braving comments for showing your numerous brushes. You are truly a nice person - it shows on camera.

[maiis615]

yay...u're awesome!  thanks.

[snowwonderland]

Holy crap you have a lot of brushes

[lttlekrn]

Thanks, great tips! You are my go to makeup guru.

[HOW2WHITENyelowTEETH]

[Dakota0204]

I love Wet Ones. Great and gentle product. Never thought to use on my brushes!

[ThreeEscapeas]

so informative - thanks!!!!

[agigitygoo123]

i respect u more that u dont waste so much water like other gurus who always glaim that theyre environmental friendly but theyre not.

[1211NESSY]

Great video! Can you do a Kiss Acrylic Nail Tutorial?

[ToxicFlavouredCandy]

Very helpful, I usually just use a deep clean with baby shampoo.

[MrShi88]

[jesselin100]

wow thats a lot of brushes!!

[andilynn77]

Good Lord you have a lot of brushes!

[MrsBlueEyedBlonde]

I am so excited for the wet wipes idea! I always have those around the house to clean my daughters hands (she is 11 months and likes to pick up the dogs toys!) and now I can use them to clean my makeup brushes!!

[angieleshures]

I heard the Parian Spirit leaves the brushed kinda oily - u agree?

[vivamaria89]

super video! :)

[lipzx]

that was sooooo helpful.... ur awesome.. thanks alot...

[Adragonfly3r]

@XErnieX lol wow you soubd so immature! So you want ever guru to come up with a new way of washing brushes? How many gurus are out there? There's bound to be similarities

[TheLittlericecooker]

@XErnieX So what, Michelle didnt Invent brush cleaning, Jen showed you different ways to clean a brush but Michelle only showed one it Dosnt matter all gurus can make videos same there is no rule if one guru has made a video then it would be illeagal for another one to do a same video, someone could of done it before Michelle but I don't see u bugging Michelle for that.

[XErnieX]

Michelle Phan did it first.

[MiMixAwu]

Thank you that helped a lot

[gahdhobs]

thx love it

[kgostupiddubbdubb]

hey! i have that water heater too! hahaha

[sassyqirl]

@JadedDollHouse Yes please! I know you said you were going to do it but please put it on the top because we'd love to see! Thanks!

[sofiesale]

Great video as usual Jen!

[dontforgetimtheshit]

Where can you find parian spirit?

[MsErika1102]

And she is just showing us how she clean her brushes!

[MsErika1102]

@justwannabereal that method wasnt michellephan's idea! She learned it from art class! So Jane could have learned it from class too!

[justwannabereal]

the olive oil + dishwashing soap method seems to be first posted by michellephan... unless you don't watch her videos, shouldn't you credit her for it or something? not a hater by the way :)

[anav181]

i just wash my brushes with soap :) lol

[BeautySkincareEtc]

I've used baby shampoo and it's worked pretty well.. also gentle so if some of it is still on the brush and it gets in your eyes it doesn't sting!

[melonalove1]

Just curious but do the wet wipes hurt your eyes when you put the brush on your eyes?

[bettyylimful]

Could you please do a tutorial on how you use the Stila Hair Refresher? Please??

[28842741]

Baby powder is good for dry clean.

[HiDianne]

what camera do u use?????

[Danimegatoon]

I did that and now they are sooo oily, I washed them several times and the oil doesn't come of!!! What do I do everyone??? please help meee!!!

[stycxstyc]

@Danimegatoon have you tried baby shampoo? :) heard its great for cleaning makeup brushes coz its strong enough the get rid of the products, but not so strong that its damaging :) gotta be gentle on babies' soft hairs!

[Reginagein]

i tried the deep clean that I used the wash dish and olive oil but the brushes are so oily and hard to get the normal hair brushes.. so how to be not so oily?

[stycxstyc]

@Reginagein just use baby shampoo :)

[heimoodworld]

i love this video :3 thanks for showing this~ and i would like to ask what else products you think is really good to wash ours brush ? i mean can easy find in drug store to buy . thanks ~

[RustyStarlight]

I really loved this video. Washing brushes is something that isn't my favorite thing to do, but now I have 2 more ways to do it. Thanks!

[MrOwlHowManyLicks1]

that worked so well!!!(: thank you!

[babiestar]

I typically use Brush Guards and then just sit them in a cup to let them dry. The guards keep my bristles in shape while still allowing air to flow through them. Plus they're pretty cheap. Or since I get most of my brushes from Sephora I'll use the plastic piece/guard that comes with them, although it takes longer for them to dry that way.

[nieceydenicey]

you can also use your face cleanser. i think its better since ur cleaning ur brushes that clean ur face

[MargaretBouquet]

What kind of oil do you use?

You have a lot of good ideas :)

[danceplaylove]

How often do you light and deep clean your brushes?

[makeupp365]

you sound like marcel the shell!!!

[XeliZity]

Actually, it has been more common to hear that synthetic bristles actually dry quicker.

[goshitsquyen]

SO MUCH brushes! :O Must be a pain to have to wash them haha! But thank you for showing us more than one methoddd Jen!

[lamoooooooooo118]

thank you so much you are amazing you now ,

[geri800]

COOL :) so many brushes lol

[danilynn13th]

OMG i would NOT be wearing my wedding ring when i clean my Dirty brushes !!! ewww just saying!!

[AmberLi1996]

[battlestar13]

[WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWVWW]

@battlestar13 Michelle Phan is a retard.

[xoxfiftyytwo]

@WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWVWW youu're a retard..

[cococourtknee]

@xoxfiftyytwo but their comment was true.

[luissy7]

@WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWVWW just because you don't like someone doesn't mean they're a retard, retard...:)

[thisfunnygirliknow]

after listening to you for a while.. i have come to the conclusion that you sound a bit like Marcel the Shell.
