What it is
When you wash your makeup brushes, the bristles become frizzy. They take forever to dry when they get wet. You need a lot of brushes. With the Dry Brush Cleaner, you don't need to change or wash your brushes when you want to change the color of your blush or eyeshadow. The sponge absorbs powder, making this a helpful beauty tool that cleans your brushes instantly without rinsing.
Ingredients
Polyurethane iron (case)
How to use
(1) Sweep your makeup brush across the black sponge to remove any dirt. (2) Use the white sponge to check that all the dirt has been removed, then trim the bristles and you're ready to use.

I bought this because it's not practical to wash it after every use. So far so good. I wash it with cleanser after a few uses.
I use it to remove dirt from brushes when applying eye makeup. It's convenient because you can check the white part in the middle to see if the dirt has been removed. It gets dirty pretty quickly, but I like it because it's easy to clean.
Honestly, brush maintenance is quite a hassle! A friend to lazy people. [ADDME Dry Brush Cleaner] I purchased it from Suzykirei shopping. It costs 605 yen (tax included) and is made in China. I wipe my makeup brushes with tissue after each use and wash them all together on long days off... but it's such a hassle. I also have liquid brush cleaner, but that's also a hassle. I have to dry the bristles when they get wet, and if they're still damp, there's the risk of mold... and it's much more hygienic to wash them frequently and let them dry before using them again. I know that, too. As a lazy person who wants to make life a little easier and avoid the hassle, I found this dry cleaner. It comes in a silver steel can. Inside is a coarse black sponge. A white sponge is placed in the center. I rub my used makeup brush against the black sponge to remove dirt, and then check the white sponge to see if it's clean. It's double-sided, so if one side gets dirty, I can flip it over. What a lazy person's design! The sponge is removable, washable, and reusable. In fact, it doesn't dramatically clean the brush (as if it had been properly washed with detergent), so it's good to use it as a temporary measure. I also tried using it on my face powder brush and cheek brush, but the white sponge got quite dirty, which was a bit of a shock. (At this point, it's best to wash it.) It's not impossible to make your own using empty containers (steel cans) from the 100-yen store, gift cans for chocolates, or other items, plus an unused sponge, but it's a hassle to make your own and gather the necessary tools, so it's convenient to have a product like this. While wiping with tissues is certainly sufficient... Again, this is only a temporary measure. Clean tools make a difference in the finish of your makeup. Dirty brushes are also bad for your skin. Regular cleaning of tools is necessary. I know this, but if you're lazy like me or just want to try something unique, I highly recommend giving it a try. Incidentally, the lid of the can is quite difficult to remove at first, and it almost comes off with your fingernail, but it comes off with the cover of something. Don't give up.
Lazy people rejoice! I don't know if it's cheap or expensive, but this is the product that will make your life easier! It's such a pain to have to change brushes, spray cleanser, and wipe with tissue!
I've been using MAC's brush cleaner until now, but I wanted to try out this sponge tool to see if it was better. My brushes are clean, so even though I've only just started using it, I think it's great for powder cosmetics!! It also reduces the amount of waste, which is great. After using the concealer brush, I'll try it out and see if the liquid version is better. I wonder why I didn't buy it sooner.
