Stylpro Professional Makeup Brush Cleaner Review
We all know how important it is to regularly cleanse your makeup brushes to remove any bacteria. But let’s get real, who can be bothered to do it as often as you’re supposed to? I have collected brushes for 15 years! While this means I can go weeks using clean brushes without washing any, I then have 300 to wash. Below is a just 1 week’s worth of dirty makeup brushes. Aaaaaaah!
That’s where the StylPro steps in. Created by The Apprentice star Tom Pellereau, this device provides a unique way to hygienically clean and dry makeup brushes in seconds.
Faster and more hygienic than traditional methods, it uses centrifugal spin technology to clean and dry brushes in a matter of seconds. The box includes the contents below:
– StylPro device
– Attachment spindle
– Glass cleaning bowl (with silicone seal and splash guard)
– 8 x silicone collars (different sizes to suit all brushes)
– Collar stand
– Batteries
– Instruction booklet
How to use Stylpro
The Stylpro is easily assembled but there are instructions included. You attach a makeup brush to the electronic part of the machine using one of the different size collars. Fill up the bowl with 1 cup of makeup brush cleaner and you’re ready to go. Dunk the brush in the bowl for 5-10 seconds with the machine turned off to soak into the bristles. Then turn on the machine and let it spin in the cleaner for another 10 seconds. Pull it up out of the cleaner to spin dry for 5 seconds. If it needs further cleaning repeat the first step until it’s ready to dry. After being spun dry the bristles fan out so reshape and after a few minutes your brush will be ready to use!
Does It Work On All Brushes?
Synthetic brushes and small eyeshadow brushes work the best with Stylpro. Natural hair brushes were harder to clean and bristles did splay out when spun dry repeatedly. StylPro can work on pretty much any brush size, because of the numerous sized rubber attachments provided however I own hundreds and some just didn’t fit. This didn’t work at all on my Artis or Artis style brushes (the ones that look like toothbrushes).
My Verdict
This product does actually work and very well. I did wish that the brush cleaner came in a litre bottle as I used an entire bottle of the brush cleaner, but then again I am a brush addict and did clean 79 brushes. They do say you can use your regular brush cleaner so I’ll try that next time.
Having to empty the dirty cleaner and re-fill it again every few brushes was a bit time-consuming. However, overall, it does clean and dry most makeup brushes in seconds, meaning that you can use them straight after you’ve cleaned them.
I think the Stylpro is going to be extremely handy for makeup artists, beauty bloggers and vloggers and regular makeup junkies. The StylPro is available to buy from Stylfile for £49.99.
