Quick Answer
To keep The Everything Brush performing well, clean it weekly with a gentle cleanser, dry it flat, and store it upright in a dry, ventilated spot.
Why Regular Cleaning Matters for The Everything Brush
The Everything Brush is a wider, flatter brush designed for bronzer, powder, highlighter, and beyond. Because it touches multiple product types, it picks up oils, makeup residue, and dead skin cells that can dull color payoff and make application patchy.
Cleaning every 7–10 days keeps the bristles soft and prevents product buildup that can change how the brush feels on your skin. Skipping this step can also lead to uneven coverage, especially when switching between powder and cream formulas.
Step-by-Step Cleaning and Storage
- Wet the bristles: Hold The Everything Brush under lukewarm running water with the bristles angled downward. Wet only the bristles, not the ferrule (the metal part), to prevent water from loosening the glue over time. Keep the handle dry to protect the glue and extend the brush's life.
- Apply a gentle cleanser: Squeeze a small amount of mild shampoo or brush cleanser into your palm, then swirl the bristles in it. Work up a gentle lather, avoiding the base of the bristles where the glue can weaken. Use lukewarm water, never hot, to avoid damaging the bristles.
- Rinse and squeeze: Rinse under lukewarm running water with the brush tilted downward so water doesn't run into the ferrule. Gently squeeze the bristles with your fingers to remove makeup and suds, then repeat if needed. Stop when the water runs clear—no soapy residue should remain.
- Shape and dry: Gently reshape the bristles with your fingers, then lay the brush flat on a towel with the bristles slightly lower than the handle so water drains away from the ferrule. Never stand The Everything Brush upright to dry; water can loosen the glue and warp the brush shape.
- Store it properly: Once completely dry, store The Everything Brush upright in a holder or lying flat in a clean, dry container. Keep it away from heat, direct sunlight, and humid bathrooms to protect the bristles and handle. Store the brush with bristles facing up or flat to keep its shape and avoid dust buildup.
