The patent-pending Art s Premier Brush Cleaning Pad is the modern approach to cleaning makeup brushes.The special plush antimicrobial-treated Microfibre Cloth has approximately one million fibers per square inch that help gently grab and remove makeup product residue from the brush fibers without causing damage to the brush fiber itself.

This action pulls the powder residue from the tips, making the brush ready to accept another powder product for application. This method is particularly useful when applying eye shadows and switching from one color to another without the need to completely wash the brush."Full" cleaning use: Apply a small amount of Art s Brush Cleansing Foam to the surface of the cloth or to the brush fibers.
