I want to love these brushes. Please help.
I just purchased 11 of these for my makeup kit, and I used one of them to see how it applies. I went to wash the brush, and the foundation was hard to remove. What can I use to remove the color?

🧽 How to Remove Foundation from Bdellium Tools Brushes
🧴 For Quick Daily Cleaning
Use: Bdellium Tools Makeup Brush Cleanser, micellar water, or alcohol-free brush cleaner spray.
Steps:
- Lightly spray the cleanser directly on the bristles (avoid soaking the metal ferrule).
- Gently wipe the brush on a clean towel or tissue in circular motions until product residue disappears.
- Allow the brush to air dry flat or with the bristles hanging over the counter edge to maintain shape.
💡 Tip: Quick cleaning helps prevent product buildup, especially with cream or liquid foundation.
🫧 For Deep Cleaning (Recommended Weekly)
Use: Mild liquid soap or brush shampoo (sulfate-free), and optionally a small amount of olive oil or cleansing balm for long-wear foundation.
Steps:
- Wet only the bristles with lukewarm water — keep the handle and ferrule dry
- Apply cleanser:
-Place a small amount of brush shampoo (and a drop of olive oil if needed) on your palm or a silicone brush cleaning pad. - Swirl gently to loosen foundation buildup.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until it runs clear.
- Gently squeeze out excess water using a towel.
- Reshape the brush head and lay it flat or slightly angled downward to air dry completely.
🚫 Avoid
-Soaking the entire brush in water (can loosen glue and damage handle).
-Using harsh detergents or alcohol-based cleaners (can dry out the synthetic fibers).
-Drying brushes upright — moisture can seep into the ferrule.
