It's a genuine game changer.

A genuine game-changer.

Finding time to clean your makeup brushes is one of those annoying jobs that somehow always gets put on the backburner.

One of the reasons we tend to avoid this task is because it takes FOREVER for them to dry which is rage-inducing when you need that particular powder brush for your 7am start.

Anyway, thanks to this Reddit hack, we might have just found a way around this beauty bugbear.

You’ll find it in the MakeUp Addiction section here and hey_im_allison is the gal to thank for sharing this with the internet.

It’s very simple – all you have to do is use hair ties/bobbins/ go-gos to fasten your makeup brushes to something sturdy (the rail of a bed, the leg of a desk etc) which will help them to dry a whole lot faster.

As you’ll see from the comments on the post, most people are in agreement that this is the best way to get your brushes dry as quickly as possible BUT in a hygienic manner too.

This might actually make us clean our brushes more often, miracles do happen!
