Used by professionals and makeup aficionados, the brand was founded by Maurice Stein, a professional makeup artist who has worked on more than 200 TV shows and films and over 4,000 commercials. The company itself has become trusted and loved by many, explaining on its website, “We believe both on set, and at home, every makeup should start with a clean brush, and anything that touches your face should feature only the highest quality ingredients.”

“All the hype is real,” one five-star reviewer from Sephora wrote. “The best and only makeup remover I have ever used and liked. When I was in makeup school this is the only brush cleanser that we were introduced to and it has stayed a staple in my kit ever since. You can use this product in conjunction with water or on its own when needing to quickly clean up a brush between washes. I love the scent it leaves afterwards. Does not require ridiculous amount of product to work. Removes the trickiest of makeup from brushes, sponges and other makeup tools. I would recommend this over any other brush cleanser. You get a lot of product for the price.”

In case you are frequently on-the-go, there is also a mini option that you can easily spray on and take with you when traveling. It’s even TSA-approved.
