As far as liquids go, you may have heard that baby shampoo is a good choice: "It's OK in that it's gentle, but it doesn't really cut oil effectively," says Patinkin. She prefers gentle detergents, like Woolite or Dreft, which both get rid of oil and condition bristles. And while we'd never dream of bashing coconut oil, cleaning makeup brushes may be the one thing it's not good for (it leaves behind a greasy residue that's super hard to rinse off, Patinkin explains). Also, puh-lease don't put your brushes in the dishwasher. "Not only can the heat loosen the glue that holds the brush together, but it can also up the likelihood of bacterial growth if not every last germ has been killed," warns Patinkin.
