A Washing Machine For Your Makeup Brushes? Yup!

by Kali Borovic

Do you procrastinate washing your makeup brushes because it just takes too long? Thought so! Well, the Lilumia Brush Washer is here to change all that. It's a machine that washes your brushes for you, and can clean an entire set in 15 minutes. That's a huge time-saver, especially if you happen to have a large brush collection like many makeup-obsessed mavens. With this invention, clean makeup brushes could actually become an every day thing instead of a once-every-three-months thing.

There's no better feeling than applying product with newly cleansed brushes. Soft, clean bristles free of product build-up make applying cosmetics instantly simpler and more pleasant. Lilumia's quick and easy brush clearner might actually be the greatest invention since the eyelash curler. To use, you just fill the bottom with soap and water, load up the brush holders, and hit start. It doesn't get easier than that.

According to InStyle, the machine holds six brushes and uses the soap and water mixture to give your makeup brushes a scrub that no fingers can match. Not only does it clean the bristles, it also sanitizes them without damaging the handles. Get your hands on the machine beginning August 7th for $149 at Lilumia's website.
